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

    They would never tell you and they may be unaware of what IRCC is planning. Most MPs have only a basic knowledge of immigration. A program no longer being functional and having a processing time of up to decades is exceptional. We’ll see what happens but would not trust any government official...

    CEC and proof of common-law scrutiny.

    So you were common law before study permit was approved or you landed in Canada? Based on my interpretation of your posts you haven’t been living together since 2023 right?

    Visitor to work permit

    So you applied for a visitor record around 3-4months ago after your WP was refused? What did your work permit refusal say in terms of your status? Your attempts to keep extending your time in Canada could be problematic. Would help if you were doing an advanced degree at a reputable university.

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

    It was much easier to get approved even 1+ years ago. Doesn’t mean approvals were close to 100%. Government also allowed people to keep applying multiple times without removal. We see examples of many parents who got approved a few years ago and similar cases getting denied now. We also see...

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

    No insider info. If you ask any immigration lawyer or consultant who doesn’t just want your money they have a similar consensus that something drastic will happen to general H&C and the most obvious answer is to cull the whole program and start from scratch with much stricter criteria. I have...

    Help, what fees am I paying for OWP?

    Ok then you can apply for OWP. There is a good chance you will get PR first. No you shouldn’t need to restore your status first.

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

    Realistically none of these numbers matter until we hear what IRCC is going to do with H&C and that is likely only going to happen after bill c-12 passes.

    Applying for Student Permit extension then PR

    Given the extremely long processing times I would not be counting on getting PR through the HK program. I would be doing anything possible to qualify via other pathways. You should certainly still apply but would be learning French for example, working in a field in high demand in Canada...

    Taxes and Citizenship Application

    If you can’t file your taxes yet then IRCC doesn’t expect to receive them. I would always apply for citizenship with a bit of a buffer to hopefully avoid more scrutiny and longer processing. At that point you may have also filed your taxes.

    Visitor visa

    They have Canadian immigration history of returning home which is good but retiring creates less ties to their home country. If they weren’t retired not sure how they could visit for 6 months. If you qualify you should consider a supervisa since that is more dependent on your profile than a...

    Visit visa for dying sister

    Realistically it may be difficult depending on her profile but you should definitely try. Be very clear you want to be considered for compassionate reasons and keep the visit relatively short (a few weeks maximum) for a higher chance of approval. Good luck!

    Need help with parents visitor visa

    In what time period were the 4 applications? Are you a PR? Does your NOA meet LICO? With your spouse? You should have considered a supervisa after the first or 2nd refusal.

    Help, what fees am I paying for OWP?

    You won’t qualify for an OWP until AIP if out of status. If it has been less than 90 days since you lost your status apply to restore your status.
