    Extending work permit as a protected person

    I applied for renewal of work permit. I noticed that if I answer NO to the medical, it will not let me proceed, I had to answer YES, then I attached an explanation letter where, among other things, I mentioned that I answered YES although I had a medical exam 2 years ago. I received a...

    CBSA Not Reply IRB

    The interesting thing is that the provision clearly states that IRB MAY fix a date for a hearing, not WILL... so it is up to IRB at the end considering several factors including the backlog :( As of end of July 2025, the backlog is around 290,000 refugee claims. With an average processing of...

    Can a protected person apply for PR through PNP or Express Entry

    Yes, I'm here safe, thanks to Canada's government. It's a true blessing that many take for granted and don't appreciate enough. Not me. I fully appreciate it that I am safe here, especially that I have seen and continue to see endless sufferings and horrors in my own home country and in other...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    I applied for renewal/extension of my work permit. After 2 days I received a message from IRCC that my work permit has been extended for 1 year initially, pending the issue of the new work permit. This is a temporary extension so that one can continue to work pending the issue of the new work...

    Can a protected person apply for PR through PNP or Express Entry

    Hello Everyone Is it possible for a protected person to apply for PR through another regular immigration stream (like PNP, Express Entry or EMPP for example) but NOT as a protected person? If this is possible, would this be a faster route than applying for PR as a protected person? Getting...

    Open work permit for spouse

    True. I know so many people whose family members were denied TRV. For those who managed to get TRV, they should have demonstrated strong ties with the country where they're residing. If the officer is satisfied of such ties and the other requirements were met, it would be normal to get TRV, but...

    Again... Front-End Security Screening

    Hi. I don't have access to IRCC portal for my refugee claim because I had a representative. I removed him last Thursday. I hope that I will have access to my IRCC portal soon. I will let you know.

    Again... Front-End Security Screening

    Yeah.. when I submitted the refugee claim, the estimated processing time for a refugee claim was 23 months, now it is 30+ months. As of end of April 2025, there are over 284 thousand claims pending with IRB, which means that it will take up to 4 years to clear this backlog if 71,000 claims are...

    IRB Quarterly and Annual Statistics

    If a claim is in process, it should logically appear under (Pending as of../../....) If these 25 claims (again, the example of Albania) are already processed, why aren't they classified under Accepted, Rejected, Abandoned, Withdrawn and Others? Almost in every country of persecution, these...

    Again... Front-End Security Screening

    I sent an email to IRB 2 months ago and quoted this page that you included in your reply. Specifically, I quoted this sentence: "In cases where confirmation of security screening remains pending at twelve (12) months from the date of referral, the RPD will convene a conference with the...
