    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    Based on my brief look cash benefit likely not because it is essentially a welfare payment to supplement income but optical and dental and property tax relief if they own a home likely yes.

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

    Germany doesn’t have some magical solution to integrate people. Germany has a similar immigration system to Canada in many ways and many would say it is more difficult to get permanent status and it takes longer to become a German citizen. There are people from abroad who become permanent...

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

    How exactly are the policies favouring people overseas? It is extremely hard to get PR from abroad at the moment unless a family member (mainly a spouse).

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

    Don’t think anyone would ever call Quebec more capitalist or more American-style. The opposite is actually true. Plenty of provincial residents identify with their province 1st and would say you are just as likely to have someone mention they are from Alberta,BC, the Maritimes, the North, etc...

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

    The issue is H&C was never meant to provide a path to PR for a large group of people. What should have happened is limiting who could apply a long time ago even if some genuine H&C cases would no longer qualify. Also removing people faster so there isn’t an ability to apply multiple times or...

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

    Countries like Germany and Sweden experiencing their own significant immigration issues. Yes Canada expects that people will leave or they will try to make it uncomfortable to remain or remove people. We have already seen tactics that are supposed to entice people to self-deport. Various...

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

    Please ignore this spammer. AOR is taking around 5 months. It is currently taking around a year after that to have your file assigned to an officer but given the backlog that could be years by the time your application makes it to the front of the queue.

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