    Iranian on visitor visa, stuck in Canada because of war. Options?

    Only good option on your list is visitor record. Do they have a US visa? They can’t flagpole. As long as they apply for a visitor record before their current stay expires they have implied status. Make sure to also extend their travel medical insurance or if you haven’t purchased any you should.

    Visitor record never arrived. Re entry options

    If they stayed past their authorized stay they likely need to do another medical. How long did they stay their last visit?

    Employment Letter format for visit visa

    Any letter of employment should be consistent and expect IRCC to reference employment letter from TRV for PR. Unless you know French or work in a few select professions (mainly healthcare) it will be very difficult to secure PR from abroad without Canadian work experience. For your TRV it is...

    PR application as a protected person

    Would look under refugee thread. Pre-arrival letter’s name is confusing and should be renamed. It is purely procedural and can happen anytime after eligibility. It does not mean landing is soon. That said due to a one time additional 160k refugee and protected person landing program from...

    2024 asylum claimants, Share timeline here

    Sadly many will wait 3-4 years just for a hearing these days. The backlog is huge and IRB only has the capacity to process a certain amount of applications per year.

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

    Doubt my twitter posts have any impact on IRCC. I had been posting that the wait times posted were incorrect and were much longer for over a year on this forum before IRCC started posting somewhat more accurate processing times. I just did simple math based on the tables IRCC puts out showing...

    PGWP + Online U.S. Degree + Express Entry Question

    Speak to a lawyer and get a response from IRCC in writing. Think I saw a recent case or ATIP where the person couldn’t count their Canadian work experience during studies because they were studying full-time even if their studies where not through a Canadian school.

    PGP 2023 applicant - 2025 income question

    Fairly common to ask if only just met LICO over other years, change in family composition, job change, etc. LICO is already very low given cost of living and IRCC wants to ensure families who receive PR through PGP won’t access social & charitable services.

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

    Agree that some form of expedited review will likely remain but given our approval rates are much higher than the rest of the world and IRB knows there are issues with fraud there will be public pressure to prioritize better vetting versus maintaining current processing speed.

    Applied PRTD online from Pakistan in Jan 2026

    Hire a lawyer. Having a Canadian child does not guarantee status for parents. At this point your child is almost 18 so would be considered an adult. When did you get PR? How much time have you spent in Canada in the past 5 years? Since getting PR? Has your child spent their whole life living in...
