    Reapplying after a refusal ( applying for bachelor's study permit from Pakistan )

    The big issue is that your IELTS are not very strong and it is unclear how you will fund the entirely of your education. You would essentially use all of your families savings and likely have to sell some land to fund your studies and living expenses. Given your father’s income and the fact...

    It is very late to be applying for admission to a college/university and a study permit for September. There is a good chance he will need to leave Canada while waiting until he either gets admission to a study program and gets a study permit. The fact that he applied for a PR and was refused...

    As long as the BOWP is valid and you didn’t intentionally misrepresent something in your application you should be fine.

    Renew PR Card with Less Than 2 Years Residency

    Exactly why you should have a buffer. 2 years out of 5 is extremely lenient already. It will likely take over a year for a response to any PR card renewal based on H&C reasons and they risk losing their PR status so it makes no sense to apply unless they have absolutely no other option and are...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2022

    Given sponsorship is never guaranteed and the ability to visit is also not guaranteed don’t you have a plan B like hiring a caregiver in Pakistan? That seems to be a very easy and affordable solution.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Your removal order goes into effect as soon as you withdraw your asylum claim. You should apply Outland in case you are removed during the process or you keep your asylum claim active and attend the hearing if scheduled before you are sponsored. Expect extra scrutiny if your asylum claim had a...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Sorry yes I misread they had already gained protected person or refugee status which you can tell by my answer. My answer is forest but not the question being answered.

    Thread for Bill C-12 ineligibility decisions issued by IRCC and the next steps

    Not sure how would qualify for OWP under March 2026 policy. PPRA is the only viable option to obtain PR in a relatively short amount of time (up to years) because H&C processing is decades and doesn’t prevent removal or grant WP until after AIP which could also take decades. In general would be...

    Moving from Quebec to Ontario after sponsor approval

    There could be issues if you do keep your Quebec employment if there are concerns that you are in fact not permanently settling outside Quebec or that that you have obtained an Ontario address but you may not have actually moved to Ontario permanently. By not cutting your ties to Quebec you...

    Parents’ Canadian PR expired — applying for a tourist visa now. Do we need to surrender/cancel PR first?

    As seniors if they do enter via land they may not be able to secure a health card until they have a valid PR card so something they need to consider. Unclear if they ever got a health card but if they did they haven’t met the residency obligation and would have to reapply.

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you are a protected person or refugee you remain one even if you get PR through spousal sponsorship. Your status in Canada would be at risk if you visit your home country or use your home country passport until you become a Canadian citizen. You could leave Canada and give up your protected...

    BABY BIRTH ON VISIT VISA

    Could be as little as 5k for a birth but as much as multiple million dollars if NICU stay is required in some hospitals. There is a good chance you can be denied entry as a visitor if there is concern you are not a genuine visitor and a birth tourist. Due to issues of non-payment and no excess...

    Visitor visa application stalled for 13 months

    As others have pointed out your father’s history in defences means background processing is likely to take years. Reaching out to your MP will have no impact. After a few years you can try to push for a response by filing mandamus. The only other option would be for your mother to try to visit...

    Visitor visa application stalled for 13 months

    Pretty early for mandamus. If no response after another 12-24 months something to consider.

    SOWP First Landing

    There isn’t a standard list of questions but questions based on the status of your spouse in Canada, confirming that you are reuniting with your spouse in Canada, where you will be living, etc. would be the most common.
