    You’ll find there are very long periods where nothing moves forward.

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

    Me and my occasional tweet over the years have sometimes focused on H&C. Calling for a full and stretch from scratch is not an uncommon opinion since most consultant & immigration lawyers. Also have issues with supervisa visit length given pressure it puts on healthcare and misleads people many...

    Studying and working in Quebec

    Would suggest keeping all the attempts you have be made to secure employment in Ottawa for a few months before moving.

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

    The system is incredibly backlogged, there was a large volume of H&C applications and Quebec reduced immigration volume before the rest of Canada. As I have mentioned before the H&C system is no longer functional which is why there has to be some major reforms.

    Moving from Quebec to Ontario for PR

    On the grand scheme it doesn’t matter if you are permanently relocating to Ontario. Working remotely outside of Quebec if employer only has a Quebec office and you are expected to go to the office a few times of month. The longer you spend out of Quebec is actually better for your case.

    Open work permit for spouse

    Were you married and had your spouse claimed asylum or received PP status when you got the TRV? Surprised if so since TRV approvals are rare in those circumstances. Technically this isn’t supposed to happen now that we are back to tighter requirements at IRCC. Just curious how much this is...

    Parents Visa ending, Can’t go back due to war, No Flights allowed into the country.

    Would apply for the visitor record closer to the end of her 6 month visit if she was awarded an up to 6 month visit or right before her scheduled flight. You should include any information you are being given by the airline about the status of flights going into Iran and what is the airline’s...

    Left Canada when a minor

    There has been significant changes since around 2020 when you could easily return with minimal time spent in Canada as a minor up to age 25. As more people were using this method to retain PR for their children it was inevitable that IRCC would begin to be stricter about who really had genuine...

    Withdraw sponsorship of spouse

    Think that lawyers from some community groups are more sensitive to other issues surrounding sponsorship applications and may be privy to arrangements that have been made to secure a marriage. They often also don’t want to be known as an ineffective lawyer in the community friends since...

    Confused!!

    The other big issue is the timeframe. It is extremely unusual to live with a partner as soon as you start dating. Was her marriage in Canada? Did they ever live together in Canada? There could be concern that the 1st marriage and SOWP were obtained solely for immigration purposes. Is the ex...

    PR CARD Renewal rejection based on new passport name change format

    A bit of a late reply but if your father was in India when you helped him apply for a PR card that is the bigger issue. He must be in Canada to apply.

    PR (Permanent Resident) applied from Quebec in April 2023 as a Refugee (Protected Person) and now it’s 2026

    The one caveat is you need to actually settle outside of Quebec now.

    Withdraw sponsorship of spouse

    It would actually be misrepresentation not to inform IRCC that you are no longer in a relationship. As soon as you separated you should gave informed IRCC but since you haven’t you should do so it asap. I have read some cases where lawyers sadly considered the sponsored spouse’s interest (which...

    TRV Question - Spouse

    Would suggest waiting until you have completed the religious ceremony unless you have a long history of in person dating. Once you have AOR from the sponsorship apply for the TRV.
