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

    The issue is that may at most cut cases by around half and that may be a generous estimate. You would still be left with 25k so 25 year processing times vs 50? What do you define long residence in Canada 5 years, 10 years, 20 years? Is BIOC only for Canadian citizen children or for all...

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

    I’m sure many do not want to return home. The difference is that Canadian attitude towards immigration has changed and so has the political pressure to do something about it. For decades Canada clearly knew there was a large population without status and unless you committed a crime there was...

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

    There is certainly a rise in populism in Canada but there are also plenty of people that are pro-immigration recognize that the levels for immigration have not been reasonable for what the Canadian infrastructure or economy can absorb. Most in Canada are just calling for more reasonable...

    APPEALS

    What are you actually defining by “appeal”? If just removing a co-sponsor there would be no need for an appeal which typically means a judicial review. The removal of a co-sponsor from an application would just lead to the application being reassessed based on the change.

    APPEALS

    There would be no need for JR if you were just removing the co-sponsor and you met MNI. Your file would just be reassessed without the income of the co-sponsor. That is just routine processing given changes in the file.

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    The issue is that it could be and will also have impact on things like healthcare coverage. You should consult a lawyer but we have seen others attempt to sponsor their child while not compliant with their own RO and file was essentially on hold until the outcome of the parents RO compliance was...

    Passport request for Super visa while visiting Canada

    You have to leave and attempt to reenter. It would be best to try to extend on this current visit and next visit initiate the supervisa.

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

    Most would be removed while waiting for processing or people will leave because staying in Canada without status is not easy. In reality there will be reforms because the program is not functional.

    Switching from Outland to Inland Sponsorship while Mom in Canada (Parent sponsorship)

    Not feeling well screams preexisting condition to me that would not be covered by most emergency travel medical insurance/supervisa policies. The processing through Quebec will likely take many years so although your mother has been selected that does not guarantee she will qualify for PR...

    TRV within Canada

    When did they enter Canada as a visitor and on a regular TRV or supervisa? Was an April 2025 written in their passport upon entry? A TRV is a travel document that is only needed when entering Canada. You only need a valid one to enter Canada not to remain. It is not related to a visitor’s...

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

    Yes the days of an H&C being processed in around 2 years are over. Even the rare applications the qualify for urgent processing are experiencing longer processing times. People can’t compare H&C to what it was even a year ago. Also people are actually being removed with active H&C cases...

    April 2025 Super visa application

    Would suggest people compare processing times with others applying from their home country. That is typically the best predictor of actual processing time.

    April 2025 Super visa application

    MP can do very little if processing speed similar to others. IRCC has actually started vetting applications so processing is getting longer. Parents are also visiting Canada on supervisas with no plans of returning home. Many are filing H&C or asylum so IRCC is also being more cautious. Both...
