    LMIA-Exempt Closed Work Permit (Specialized Knowledge, ICT) - Reached 5-Year Cap, Options to Extend or Stay in Canada

    There is an attempt to tighten up the system and many have gotten used to IRCC turning a blind eye and approving almost everyone.

    What is my study permit status?

    Would add that schools were supposed to be reporting students who did not attend in the past but there was zero coordination between IRCC and schools so many got away with doing what you are suggesting. That has ended and schools are now reporting which international students are actually...

    If you are unable to afford to hire them at this point yes that would be an issue because of the job offer component. Tough to justify that you employed a caregiver and have stopped employing them after they applied for PR but are still providing a job offer. If there was genuine need for a...

    TRV Application tracker & Passport Stamping

    Do not book tickets until you have your stamped passports. Stamping is taking more than 3 weeks in many cases. They are visiting Canada so waiting a few weeks to book a flight should not be a huge issue but may prevent you from losing money if not non-refundable.

    Delayed TRV processing from Malaysia

    So they applied for their own TRV then. Why would you have to leave Canada if your TRV expired? Processing times can be quite long. It appears as though your family member was primarily processed through AI which is why it was processed quickly. If anything there are more red flags for your...
