    2026 PR application timeline

    You’re right there will be a certain group of protected people and refugees that will hit a sweet spot and get processed faster than the previous years before processing times start increasing again. Time to receive AOR has very little to do with overall processing time.

    How long will background check take? I’m from Pakistan.

    Extremely variable although applicants from Pakistan tend to have longer than average processing times.

    London transit with RTD

    Will you remain in the same terminal? Travel booked under one trip? How long is the transit? Overnight?

    2026 PR application timeline

    That wouldn’t impact time to AOR. The one time policy only just started so shouldn’t have major impact on 2026 applications. Will have an impact on overall processing time at least for those who are already in the queue but the processing times will likely increase again after due to the volume...

    US B1/B2 Visa Questions

    Since Trump has come back into office securing a visa as a protected person or refugee has become much harder. This may change under another administration.

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    An H&C does not prevent removal. In the past removals were often put on hold when an active H&C application had been made but that is no longer the case. Once you apply for H&C it will still be processed while outside Canada. Processing is decades so unless a decision is imminent H&C is no...

    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.

    Applying Together: Student Visa and Spouse Work Permit Canada.

    Agree which is why I pointed out that there plan to get study permit in the hopes of staying longterm is not realistic.
