    Visitor visa applied for 3rd time

    2023/24 was IRCC insanity when they did minimal vetting. Many of these people will now struggle to stay in Canada.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Weirdly it doesn’t break down the difference like they do for other categories. Quebec plans to land 4.1-4.4K asylum seekers per year so would only partially skew the data if included. Anecdotally we have already seen processing closer to 3 years outside Quebec. There is also the pilot program...

    Visitor visa applied for 3rd time

    For a family doesn’t make sense on finances alone. Even if you applied as a single applicant finances still don’t make sense given you are supporting a family. Are you aware that you can’t apply for a job or to study from Canada. Your goal seems to be to move to Canada on a permanent basis so...

    Decision Made - No approval letter yet

    Spouses being approved before the applicant does happen sometimes. It is the easier part of the process and can always be revisited if the student eventually gets denied. Agree doesn’t make a lot of sense.

    Inland spousal sponsorship

    1. Cohabitation is required for inland applications. You can still apply Outland while in Canada 2. A few months but can be longer. Would suggest you apply after AOR and your spouse moves to Newfoundland. Once he moves he needs to update his address. If he has more ties to Newfoundland, like...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    You can use the same health card until it expires. Yes you should inform anyone who depends on your SIN# or status in Canada (some programs are only available to PRs and citizens but those are fairly rare).

    Mother supervisa

    Disagree. Many use a supervisa to visit for less than 6 months often because normal TRV has been refused. I would select visit of over 6 months and attach an explanation letter about how the mother only plans to come for short visits because she has ties to her home country that do not allow her...

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

    That is just the general H&C category. Way over 100k for all H&C programs which fall under public policy. Asylum claims closer to 300k I believe at this point based on a recent data. Agree the math does not math.

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    This table should explain why you are waiting. The backlog is over 115k and the yearly target for PR for protected people and their families abroad is 20k. Processing times is also listed as 44months.

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

    The more interesting part is the table which is just scary. There is at least 115k H&C applications in the backlog when 2026 target is 6.5k I think. The year after 4.5k. The math doesn’t work.

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

    Given they would automatically be refused if new legislation passes that is not a great suggestion. They should meet with a few immigration lawyers and hopefully one will give them a realistic view of chances of being able to secure PR via a humanitarian pathway, processing times as well as...

    Study Permit Processing Delays 2025

    Waiting for this school to close down now that masters degrees also require PAL and volume of international students has decreased. Not sure how these provinces keep supporting these private schools.

    Skill Transferability Factor CRS Points- Foreign Work Experience While Enrolled as Student (Outside canada)

    You should be able to claim it but always up to the VO. Assume you have other foreign work experience not just the 3 months.

    Visa refusal can change?

    Yes they should approve your visa and send your passport back stamped. If they don’t you should ask for reconsideration.

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

    The issue is it could be an issue for an H&C claim if you are not financially self-sufficient. It is incredibly dependent on the specifics but if able to work that is always preferable for H&C cases. There is no right to receive disability payments. Even if you are disabled you may not qualify...

    Visitor visa application timeline Sep 2025

    You either get relatively fast processing if AI is used or it will likely take months if a manual review is required. Really depends on the profile.

    Inland application would like to travel out of Canada.

    Are you currently working? That is different than have a WP. Is this 1 week course essential? Would be much safer to return with your partner and limit your travels to 3 weeks. There are no concrete rules about this but 1 month is tough to justify as a vacation based on Canadian standards...
