    2023 Refugee Claims – Still Waiting? Gather Here

    This is getting more common. There is a backlog of ~300k applicants and IRB can’t process 100k cases/year so processing time make sense. The fact that all files need a hearing these day is yet another reason processing times will increase. Processing times were often 3 years in 2026 and...

    PR Renewal after entering Canada with multiple entry PRTD granted under H&C grounds (RC-1 code)

    I would use a similar tactic by working on proving that you are a permanent resident (as already mentioned through via verification of status) and then getting another copy of your SIN number documentation if you are unable to find the number. Previous bank records and the bank you used may be...

    MPNP Application - Previous Stays in Canada section

    You typically have to provide a copy of your passport pages but that is a general requirement. What and if you need proof depends on stay and the reason. For example given you are applying for MPNP you may need proof that you have lived in Manitoba. Is that why you are asking?

    NLPNP pathways

    As long as you hadn’t started the application when you applied then you are fine. No having a study permit for the course when you needs one is an issue. If you worked more than 24 hours when you were doing the course is also an issue. You don’t need a study permit for a program that is less...

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

    Thought reforms would have already happened but hard to say what the timeline will be. This summer I have seen more examples of the courts being fed up with backlogs and processing times being used as an excuse. The courts are also being overwhelmed with both JRs and mandamus applications. In...

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

    Saw another petition on almost the same day that is very similar to this but by Ukrainians waiting for PR. There are similar petitions that appear at least every year This petition isn’t even through the House of Commons supported by an MP (typically Jenny Kwan). As I have pointed on previous...

    730-day compliance and urgent travel options

    You can always be reported when entering Canada for not being compliant with your RO. Obviously there are genuine emergencies or occasions where it may be worthwhile taking the risk and leaving Canada. The risk of being reported is dependent on so many things and can change over time. For...

    MPNP Application - Previous Stays in Canada section

    Yes you should list the gaps. For example is you lived in Canada for 5 years but returned home annually for ~2 weeks you would list as follows: Time inside Canada: January 1- December 31, 2020 (due to travel time and time zones it may not be exactly December 16-31 in all cases) Time in Canada...

    Can i apply for a visitor record while in canada on maintained status?

    Why would you apply for the visitor record if you applied for a WP? When did your previous WP expire? Will you be withdrawing your WP application? The new WP application is what has given you implied status so if you withdraw it you would have been out of status since the expiry date of your WP.

    PR Renewal after entering Canada with multiple entry PRTD granted under H&C grounds (RC-1 code)

    You can’t provide one of these? Think you are skipping a step and need to apply for a confirmation of SIN before you can apply for a new copy of your SIN. Primary identity document You must provide 1 of the following documents: -birth certificate issued by the vital statistics agency in the...

    Spousal OWP pending, but Visitor Record was just refused, should i apply for restoration status now or wait?

    The SOWP should be refused if before AIP because you no longer have status. Due to the timing you still may get away with it but it is far from guaranteed. Up to you to determine whether you wait until you get the results of your SOWP. If it is close to the 90 days I would apply for...
