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

There are many people who have applied for H&C because they have established a life in Canada, haven’t been able to sponsor their parents, etc. That is not going...

    Notice of decision

    Yes typically. Not getting a decision on the day of the hearing means very little. Some members never give results at the hearing. Your lawyer, who attended the hearing, would be the best person to ask about how the hearing went and why they want to make another submission.

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

    Canada is already removing those waiting for H&C results if results aren’t imminent & they don’t have status. 5 year to decades for a response is not functional because people will lose their status. Canada doesn’t want to increase the volume of people without status as well. Yes the...

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

    IRCC employees can’t openly share these opinions. Speak to immigration lawyers, consultants, etc. if they are honest or not trying to secure your money they will tell you the same thing. H&C was not meant to circumvent or replace economic immigration as you are suggesting is your case.

    2025 PR Application Timeline

    As previously noted by previous poster IRCC is very backlogged. The PR process is going to take 5+ years so there will be very long periods of time when you hear nothing and see no changes in your application.

    HOW TO APPLY FOR STUDY IN CANADA UNDER 16 YEARS OLD CHILD

    Would apply now because this is far from guaranteed given the situation and may take quite a long time to process. The child has minimal ties to their home country. What about the other biological parent? Does the mother have full legal custody? Have you gone to court to seek legal...

    Need help -Spouse work permit protected person

    Would add when did you get married? IRCC is aware there is an increase level of marriage for immigration purposes happening as Canada tries to decrease PR quotas and temporary residents and are looking more carefully at cases when people are getting married close to the end of their WPs, to...

    If you try to count the work experience that was previously undeclared you risk being denied for misrepresentation. It is a huge risk. Speak to a lawyer.
