    2024 asylum claimants, Share timeline here

    Fairly common wait time these days as the backlog has grown. I am sure many will be waiting 3+ years for a hearing if they are not waiting that long already.

    My dad Applied for OAS/GIS application, got approved while overseas, what should we do?

    Pointless to argue. The government contacts you in advance of the 10 year anniversary to tell you that you now qualify for OAS based on you having indicated that you have lived in Canada for 10 years so not sure why there was a doubt that he would qualify and he did apply so he should have been...

    My dad Applied for OAS/GIS application, got approved while overseas, what should we do?

    Not quite since OP was still debating why they wouldn’t qualify after the information was posted. Given that being able to sponsor your parent is equivalent to winning the lottery most families seem to apply for every benefit available as soon as possible and sadly many do not follow the...

    Travelling while applying for family class living in Canada

    There is always a risk you will not be able to enter Canada as a visitor so up to you to decide your risk tolerance but in general if you can show the extra funds to be able to visit Canada without needing to work risk level is fairly low.

    STUDY PLACE CHANGE

    Would add on top of this getting into a university bachelors of nursing program is very difficult. Unclear if you are even talking about programs at the college or university level. You may not be able to transfer into nursing or use any transfer credits. If you want to end up studying nursing...

    Study after 12 grade

    If she is to trying and remain in Canada and hoping to secure PR this is a fairly risky option because she may not qualify for any or limited PGWP. Assume she doesn’t have a year of foreign work experience. Does she know French? You really need to research if it make sense to try to study in...

    International student: UK 1-yr MA Education → PhD in Special Ed: funding + PR with family?

    1. Would start speaking to potential supervisors about your research interests in the fall and would apply during the winter. You should look at the application timelines at each school. Tough to tell you what pathways to PR will be available when you graduate because the programs change and...

    Visitor visa for my wife's parents (we are seperated however)

    For a supervisa given that you are separated it should be based on her income not yours. If you have a spousal/child support payment plan then she can include that as proof of additional income.

    My dad Applied for OAS/GIS application, got approved while overseas, what should we do?

    Did you not read the rules about who qualifies for OAS/GIS? They were even reposted. The goal of OAS/GIS is to support longterm residents in Canada and typically those who actually primarily live in Canada. The fact that PGP applicants qualify when they have never worked in Canada and likely...

    SOWP, ADR requesting CV?

    Given that you and/or your wife are not US citizens and also this is no longer standard processing given the CV request it will take longer to process. How long is the big question but it could be much longer. Would always take processing times with a grain of salt they aren’t guaranteed. Your...

    Work Permit Refused After 10 Months of PSW Experience – Can I Complete 2 Months Abroad and Still Qualify for Healthcare Category PR?

    The one year will not be considered Canadian work experience but would be considered HC experience although I would make sure to have very good documentation and would personally work longer than 2 months. You would need to have already completed the 1 year of work experience to qualify for the...

    PR and twice suicide record

    I am glad to hear that your mental health is under control now. What is your immigration history in Canada? Do you have a valid permit to enter Canada and remain in Canada while working/studying until you secure PR? What program are you applying for and have you looked at recent draws...
