    New update: Check current IRCC processing time

    It is an AI tool so should give you a better idea as long as the application has no special considerations although processing times are never guaranteed. It is a step in the right direction and should also minimize the volume of people contacting IRCC on a regular basis.

    Processing times just increased! - PR Refugees / H&C !

    I am not IRB or IRCC so I can’t predict what will happen in the future. Based on past history dependents have been able to remain. Your lawyer would be the best to ask because they know the specifics of your case.

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

    Having a Canadian child never prevented removal. It did favour H&C in the past but that seems to be somewhat changing. The government doesn’t want to reward the idea of having an anchor child. CBSA does try to coordinate with the family so any dependents with status can accompany their parents.

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

    We’ll have to see how the governent attempts to deal with the mess they created and/or watched getting out of control. Governent certainly trying to push a bill through as fast as possible for immigration reasons and Trump.

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    There are doctors on WPs so the argument isn’t true. There are some jobs that do require PR or citizenship. Not being able to afford to Disneyland, like many Canadians, is not a reason why Canada should change their immigration targets. With an RTD you can apply for a US visa so there will be...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    You always had the option to apply for an economic immigration stream. In all countries asylum seekers are a small percentage of pathways to PR not the majority. Blame the Trudeau government if you want to blame anyone. They essentially stopped vetting most temporary applications and encouraged...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    There is no specific timeline to make the hajj. You could have technically done it before coming to Canada and you can also do it after getting Canadian citizenship. Not sure why Canada is to blame for KSA putting visa limits on who can go to Mecca.

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

    That is also all forms of H&C not only the general one. General H&C appears to have been allocated less than 1/5th of the total H&C target based on previous data released. Nobody can guess what IRCC will do to try to address the mess they watched happening yet did nothing to try to address the...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    Can see family reunification as the only big issue. Asking for a pathway to secure temporary permits for a spouse and dependent children is likely the only reasonable demand to be made. At what point in the process is tough to say. This request would be more palatable to the government and the...

    Privately Sponsored Refugee from Turkey

    Combination of accepting too many applicants and Canada trying to correct an insane amount of immigration over the past 5+ years. IRCC created a mess. Hopefully they will pause applications to clear the backlog versus just adding to it.

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

    If bill c2 passes it can affect all current applicants. The current system is not functional as it is even if H&C stopped accepting new applicants.

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    I will be the contrarion but the main goal of asylum/protected people and refugee is safety not fast processing to get citizenship. The fundamental issue is where do you find the extra PR quota? You can call for the freeze of private and government sponsored refugees (which have their own...

    Federal economic path way EMPP

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

    Agree nobody can count on processing times but they should give a more realistic picture of processing times. People looking to apply or who have applied in 2024/25 may want to consider other more realistic options.
