    Do you still need to do medical exam if already in Canada and applied for VR?

    I've been in Canada for more than 5 years. I applied for a visitor's record and was told to get a medical exam. I've heard that sometimes people can skip the exam if they're already in Canada and already had undertaken a medical exam before entering Canada. But I've also heard that the previous...

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

    Isn't it also true that if you leave Canada, your H&C application changes its status from "In-Canada application" to an "Outside-Canada application"? And as per the law, IRCC has no obligation to look at "Outside-Canada" applications?

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    I would consult a lawyer, but they're so expensive!

    Is there some kind of a limit as to how many times you can update an application?

    I know after you submit an application to IRCC, you have the option of uploading additional documents using the web form. My question is - Is there some kind of a limit as to how many times you can use this? Can you just keep gradually adding more documents? Or do they give you a limited number...

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    I would if I could. But its not in my budget. I understand most of them charge upwards of $5,000 for immigration cases?

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    The document is a legal publication that defines the assessment criteria for what qualifies as a disability. And it provides assessment tools on how to measure the disability (its severity). The first half is in foreign text, and the second half is in English. The extract which I have made...

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    Yes the extract describes a certain law and explains all the guidelines about it. The larger legal document is a mix of a foreign language and english. The first half of that document is in the foreign language and the second half is the english version of it. I am extracting out one section of...

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    In my H&C application, I am making a reference to a large legal document of my home country. The legal document is around 1000 pages (its also very huge in file size so I cannot upload the whole thing) to my application. However the section I am referring to (within that larger document) is...

    Are you allowed to cash a check if you are on a visitor's record?

    I was on an open work permit, which recently expired. I converted to a visitor's record (before the work permit expired). Strangely enough, I got a CRA check in my physical mailbox. It was sent beyond the expiry date of my work permit. And no it is not because I overpaid my taxes, its a credit...
