    As a family member of someone apply for refugee in Canada (I did not apply), can I leave Canada and return with a valid study permit?

    First, check whether if your TRV is still valid on GCKey, if it's not you cannot return. If it's still valid, you may still have some issues as it's up to a CBSA officer to decide whether they will admit you into Canada.

    Consequences of self representing?

    Minor details don't matter too much, as long as the information in your forms are truthful and consistent. This is my guess based on a few examples and isn't based on anything 100% certain but, just like appwarez said, I think that IRCC, CBSA, and IRB are generally a bit more lenient to...

    Because IRCC is just following what's written in the law, you wouldn't be able to file for judicial review, so your only remaining option would be to challenge the law itself, which wouldn't be easy. Instead, you should focus on your PRRA application.

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

    Public pushback won't change anything unless the IRPA or Refugee Protection Division Rules change as a result of them. The public can speak up, start petitions, and do more, those can eventually result in new laws being passed or regulations being changed, as we saw with Bill C-12; but as long...

    Refugee/Asylum Claimants 2025 Timelines

    First of all, you mustn't leave Canada without first getting protected person status or any other status that allows you to re-enter. Second of all, you mustn't visit your home country under any circumstance while you're a protected person and/or permanent resident; otherwise, you will likely...

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    IRCC generally considers families together, but I believe you can request for your files to be separated. If you apply for a PRRA you'll be able to stay in Canada until a decision is made, if you're accepted you can apply for PR with your son, if your son is accepted only he can apply for PR. In...

    Unfortunately yes, your refugee application will be pulled back from the IRB as per IRPA s. 104(2)(a). If you apply for a PRRA, your work permit will stay valid (or if cancelled you can get a new one) while the PRRA is being processed. Also keep in mind that, if you have already been rejected by...

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    PRRAs are based on similar risk factors to regular refugee claims before the RPD, such as ethnicity, religion, gender identity, etc. If your wife isn't ineligible in any basis, she will probably be processed regularly, separately from you. If you get processed separately and one of you get...

    You'll likely be called in for a CBSA interview, where an officer will discuss details regarding your removal/deportation, and will offer you a PRRA if you're eligible for it. During the interview you're free to ask about the PRRA if it goes unmentioned, but you cannot demand one.

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    If your entry in 2024 was on or after the day exactly one year before the day you claimed asylum (the date on your Acknowledgement of Claim), your claim is ineligible under subsection 101(1)(b.1) of the IRPA, assuming that you don't have any other entries between the one in March 2020 and the...

    Did the letter say something about an appointment on April 22nd, or did it actually use the words deportation/removal/inadmissibility?
