    Applying for PR from UK while awaiting asylum appeal : anyone done this?

    Not having valid documents is going to be problematic. What is your NOC? Being eligible for express entry doesn’t necessarily mean you have a chance of getting an ITA.

    US Visitor Visa as a Protected Person in Canada

    You can certainly try but it has become much harder under Trump. The fact that you entered via the US may also complicate the process. Out together the strongest application possible if you have strong ties to Canada (longterm employment, housing, dependent family) as well as decent savings and...

    Does a 1-Year College Certificate + 3-Year Bachelor's Degree Count as Two Diplomas?

    It likely depends on whether the college certificate is considered part of secondary schooling.

    Application and invitation withdrawn by OINP!

    What NOC did you use? Clarifying but sounds like you only work in academia so likely doesn’t fall under healthcare draw.

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

    Very unlikely if applied in 2025. March 2023 applicants are only just receiving P1s. Outside the pilot program it may take around 5+ yrs to get PR given the backlogs and annual targets. Pilot program would be faster but still likely years.

    Biometrics for work permit

    Yes you can do biometrics in your home country but you also should update your change of address.

    H&C

    A study permit is a temporary permit and you are expected to return home. If you apply for H&C you are declaring your desire to remain in Canada. There is a very good chance she will be out of status if only on a VR at the moment and doesn’t qualify for an SOWP. Not seeing a viable path to PR is...

    Question regarding Procedural Fairness letter

    Would also be concerned about only working PT depending on the amount of hours you work and pay. Most PT employment wouldn’t be sufficient to cover your costs in Canada. You are applying for an economic immigration stream and so Canada wants to see that you will contribute to the economy and not...

    Traveling to Canada on expired passport, valid visa

    You need to apply for a TRV as well before it expires. A WP is not a travel document.

    Application for TRV Rejected for Sister, Brother-in-law, Niece

    Would add not enough savings to the list. IRCC sometimes don’t list all the reasons for refusal but 11k is not enough funds. They also are asking for 1 month which is too long given their savings and lack of travel history (although unclear when they visited US, for how long and why).

    H&C Question- need help urgently

    Applying for H&C does not prevent removal and they are unlikely to qualify for WPs until AIP. Processing time is literally decades at this point and the program is likely going to be reformed because it is no longer functional. Not being able to get PR via economic pathway is not grounds for...

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

    Proof that BIOC (even of a Canadian child) and establishment in Canada likely not enough to get H&C these days when it may have secure PR in the past. As I pointed out previously there will likely need to be additional H&C elements to get approved. It is an interesting read because it gives...

    H&C Question- need help urgently

    What are their statuses in Canada and when do they expire?
  14. C

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

    Likely due to the 1000+ pages they submitted.
  15. C

    H&C

    What is their current status and when does it expire? H&C does not prevent removal and filing for H&C would indicate that they want to remain in Canada which will likely count as a negative when it comes to her temporary permit application (study permit).

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    If you applied in 2021 you may have also exceeded posted processing times which are not guaranteed. Wasn’t actually the one who brought up Quebec. In general whether in or out of Quebec actual processing times are going up so quickly that posted processing which are backwards looking are out of...

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

    Can they access healthcare in their home country? Do they have family in their home country? Do you have the funds to pay for cancer treatment out of pocket? That could mean hundreds of thousands of dollars. Have you found a hospital/MD willing to take your sibling on as a patient? Some...

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

    EOI for PGP is unlikely to open for a few more years based on previous years. When/if it opens I would expect there will be hundreds of thousands competing for a small number of spots. Realistically your parents need to have a plan to remain in their home country longterm and you may eventually...

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

    Very few asylum seekers are qualifying for citizenship in 7 years. There are huge backlogs in both the asylum system and for protected people and refugees getting PR because the quota is fairly small given the volume of applicants. Many are taking ~6 years to get PR outside Quebec these days and...

    Privately Sponsored Refugee from Turkey

    Would caution comparing to applicants especially if you didn’t apply at a similar time. Processing times are increasing and there are significant backlogs all while Canada tries to decrease the number of PRs they welcome so processing times will likely keep on increasing.
