    Canadian PR Entry Concerns: Crossing Canada border with Family from Detroit USA without meeting Residency Obligation

    Visitor visa refusal

    Canada became incredibly lax when it comes to immigration for multiple years leading to a huge disaster. Before 2020 he may have also struggled to get a TRV but yes it is much harder to get approved for a TRV versus in 2022/23 for example.

    Canadian PR Entry Concerns: Crossing Canada border with Family from Detroit USA without meeting Residency Obligation

    March 26 Indian spousal pr applications

    The timelines are often not correct but only typically represent cases without things like adrs, interviews, etc. As already pointed out it is supposed to represent the wait time for 80% of cases to be processed. What primarily makes the difference in processing is proof of relationship history...

    The one-time 2-year initiative regarding 115,000 protected persons

    Yes like for many types of applications the wait will be much longer if you reside in Quebec. As long as you plan on settling outside of Quebec longterm you can change your application once you leave Quebec. Quebec will likely be watching to ensure that people don’t return to Quebec as soon as...
