    From closed to open work permit

    In that case I don't see any options for an open work permit at this time. Note that any work experience gained while on a study permit cannot be counted towards PR.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Not sure it makes sense to post this here. As you said, not related at all to cessation.

    From closed to open work permit

    Have you applied for PR yet? Do you have a Canadian spouse or common law partner? Do you have a foreign spouse or common law partner who is in Canada on a study permit or work permit?

    Medical exam waiver for dependents kida

    I would also add that you can expect longer processing times if you ask for them to be exempted from the medical.

    Over 2 years delay with citizenship application

    Have him submit a GCMS notes request to see if there's a specific reason for the delay. He can also try reaching out to his MP. However definitely order the notes.

    Medical exam waiver for dependents kida

    The 23 year old is too old to be sponsored unless you submitted your application before they turned 22. You can try to see if IRCC will exclude the other two. It would be more straightforward if you didn't have custody and weren't involved with them. You will need to show evidence that they...

    New proposed asylum rules

    I agree with you having re-read this. It's a broad statement.

    SOWP or PR for wife of a Citizen ?

    You are confusing rules as it relates to spouses of Canadians vs spouses of foreign workers / international students. It has never been possible for spouses of Canadians to obtain an open work permit without first applying for spousal sponsorship.

    is this a soft or strict tone from the officer for refusal ?

    This language is boilerplate and standard in refusal letters. I'm not sure what you mean by a soft refusal.

    New proposed asylum rules

    Based on the last section, it looks like it's retroactive.

    Has anyone worked for Canada summer jobs with a work visa?

    The program is only open to Canadian citizens, PRs and protected persons. They would have figured out you do t qualify during background checks and would have withdrawn the offer. Eligibility criteria is here...

    If PRTD application under H&C considerations is rejected

    Once there's a PFL IRCC typically won't let you withdraw the application. Respond to the PFL as best you can and hope for the best.

    Appeal how on refusal letter after passport request period expired

    Purchase the tickets. Send a reconsideration via web form and include evidence that you have purchased the single journey ticket. It will be up to IRCC if they reopen the application or not. None of us can predict that. If IRCC won't reopen the application, then your options are to either...

    Is There Still Hope for Express Entry or Nomination? Chemical Engineer with 8 Yrs Experience

    I believe the 415 drop was for CEC. You no longer qualify for the CEC draws. And even if you did, I think the chances of the score going that low in any draw in the forseeable future are nil. I think French is really your best bet at this point, unless you can somehow secure a closed work...

    Is There Still Hope for Express Entry or Nomination? Chemical Engineer with 8 Yrs Experience

    This will only work if you are also living and working in Saskatchewan. Having a connection isn't enough these days to be nominated by the province.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    I would think she would need to take the test while she still has valid status or she won't get the results soon enough to have time to complete the work permit application and restoration. IMO - She is very short on time and needs to have a back up plan if none of this pans out.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    If she hasn't already started learning French then I think it's too late for the plan to secure an LMIA exempt work permit based on knowing French. She should have started last year.

    Open and closed work permit together

    1. Yes, still valid. 2. Don't know. 3. Program is closed to new applications and we don't know if it will reopen. I would make the assumption that the open work permit cannot be extended.
