    8 weeks since my eCOPR and still waiting for PR card. Should I submit IMM451 - Solemn declaration?

    There was a postal strike so likely one of the reasons for the delay. I would wait.

    Notice of decision

    Nobody on this forum can provide any guidance as to what that means and whether they will be able to stick to the week timeline. All you can do is wait for the NOD.

    Notice of decision

    Maybe you’ll get the NOD in a week but that is a very fast turnaround even without the extra submission. Sometimes in a week really means as soon as possible.

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

    She said nothing about the H&C program. Also made no comments about not reforming any immigration program. She basically didn’t say anything although she is not a good public speaker so I can understand some may have misinterpreted what she said.

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

    1. They are pretty accurate if there are no changes to the H&C applicants or yearly PR allocations. Sadly the previous processing times had been inaccurate for quite some time which was evident if you looked at the backlog of applications and PR targets. The math didn’t math. 2. We don’t know...

    Notice of decision

    Would not count on a week if an extra submission is made. A week is fast even when there is no extra submission. The lawyer has to submit the extra material, the member has to review it and then send the NOD all while doing other work. It is fairly normal for most people to get their NOD in the...

    My Claim Timeline 2025 May

    You can’t. Most of the asylum claim process requires no involvement from the asylum seeker. Assume you are working with a lawyer but I have attached an overview of the asylum claim process. It may take a long time before you are assessed to see if your case will be considered as less complex...

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

    If governent operated on data and common sense we wouldn’t be in this mess so tough to predict what IRCC will do but it is certainly on the table. As the article attached recommended people need to be prepared for the possibility of major changes to H&C. Many should consider meeting with an...

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

    French is not an option for everyone but has been an option for the past few years although it does take time and energy and is not easy. I have routinely criticized the government’s immigration policies and poor planning for almost a decade at this point. It will likely take 5-10 years to try...

    Notice of decision

    If a lawyer wants to submit extra material that is typically because of a concern based on the member’s questioning. Do you know what material they are going to submit? Context matters in this situation so your lawyer would be the only one who could really give you a realistic interpretation of...

    My Claim Timeline 2025 May

    Think this may have been either a miscommunication or misinterpretation. These things are independent of the asylum claimant and just a step in processing. What I interpret is that IRB is waiting for FESS and your file can’t move forward without it. Not sure how long it may take to get FESS. As...

    My Claim Timeline 2025 May

    Think there may be some miscommunication. What I am interpreting is that they are just in a queue.

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

    Agree in principle but backlog is way too large to limit immigration for that long (could take 20 years) and would essentially shut down economic immigration to Canada which would be detrimental longterm as well. Also stops the ability for Canada to be selective when it comes to economic...

    That is just the initial easy stage. Would expect their application to move very little for the next few years. That is just the reality.

    Yes they will. It is partially the result of governent incompetence & poor planning and the desire to be the most “humanitarian” country. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/50-year-immigration-wait-stuns-lawyers-and-families-but-ircc-says-it-s-no-mistake-9.6939919

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

    Sadly they do reflect reality. Also gross incompetence by IRCC. I have been pointing out huge problems in IRCC’s longterm planning for years. The math never mathed and action should have been taken a long time ago. Marc Miller apparently tried but was prevented from making some of the reforms he...

    MEXICAN AGRI WORKER - TOURIST

    Farming is not typically a Mon-Fri job so surprised he can live with you every weekend and has the time off. He can certainly try for a TRV but will likely be hard and would only suggest asking for a brief visit around 2 weeks. How much savings can he show?

    RO not met, first five years

    The bigger issue people run into when entering Canada already non-compliant with their RO is that you should technically remain for the next 730 days until you become compliant or at least minimize how much time you spend outside of Canada because at every border entry you could be reevaluated...
