    What would you do in this situation?

    Yes I would inform them because it is a change in your work status and likely income. That doesn’t mean that it will change the outcome of their application.

    2024 asylum claimants, Share timeline here

    Call once to know you are in line for a hearing. You may get lucky and get a Date if you were about to be contacted by IRB because you were nearing the top of the wait list. The system is incredibly overwhelmed so wait times have increased and many will wait around 3 years for a hearing. The...

    Marriage Fraud

    Not being a virgin is not sexual misconduct. It is lying to your future spouse but no more than that if their sexual history has been between consenting adults. Not being a virgin before marriage has nothing to do with the potential to victimize or sexually assault a partner after marriage...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2026

    This isn’t a case of family sponsorship it is a PR application for the dependents of a protected person. Very different with very different timelines. You are likely looking a many years before getting PR. Your parents have not even received PR yet.

    Sponsorship Of Orphaned Niece and Nephew

    These applications are quite rare and applications from Pakistan tends to have longer processing times so would expect at least a year probably. When will he be 17? If his siblings have been his guardian for the past 6 years I assume they must be quite a bit older than him and was there not a...

    Guidance on Foreign work experience

    Not listing is still considered misrepresentation to IRCC. Lying by omission is still lying.

    Guidance on Foreign work experience

    Yes declaring your omitted work experience can have significant impact and could easily lead to a refusal and potential 5 year ban. Did you declare the work experience on other immigration applications like PGWP? You may have benefitted by not listing your work history on your study permit...

    Sponsorship Of Orphaned Niece and Nephew

    The fact that they became an orphan 6 years ago makes this case fairly unusual and the situation is not urgent if 6 years after their mother’s death. They clearly must have had parental figures in their life until now what has changed?

    Marriage Fraud

    Misrepresenting your sexual history is not a crime unless you purposely infect someone with a communicable disease. Typically the onus is on the sponsor is to ensure they are in a genuine relationship before sponsoring someone or at least before landing. As already pointed out if a crime was...

    Sponsorship Of Orphaned Niece and Nephew

    Could easily take over a year especially from Pakistan. Did their parents pass away recently? They have family in Pakistan so it is not urgent situation like very young child with no family in their home country.

    2024 asylum claimants, Share timeline here

    There is no point in calling IRB every month. Many from 2024 are still waiting for hearings there is a huge backlog. As long as you know you are in line for a hearing calling so frequently will not change anything. Annoying IRB staff will not help you get a hearing faster and actually may...

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Sadly many would have different pathways to PR but won’t consider other options likely leaving temporarily or learning French. Most do not have AIP so my statement that general H&C doesn’t prevent removal is true. General H&C cases used to be for very rare exceptional circumstances but became a...

    Processing times just increased! - PR Refugees / H&C !

    People stay fairly frequently which is why IRCC is reluctant to approve the TRVs. If anything there is a a higher risk that family will not return home given your PR status.

    Sponsoring my Common Law Partner separately from her Dependents

    If they are legally in Canada they should be applying for study permits. If you list them as non-accompanying there is a good chance you will first get a PFL, if the VO is not happy with your response a refusal and if refused there is very high chance a 5 year ban. You should be very clear...
