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

    Asylum should always be the last option for people. People think it is an easier route but many may have been better off applying for economic immigration. That said refugees and asylum seekers do receive a lot of benefits compared to economic immigrants. The primary focus of seeking asylum and...

    Is there any online listing of Canada's most sought of skill trades to help students select a useful college/university course?

    What type of engineer? For example much more opportunities for robotics engineer vs civil engineer for eg. Does she have work experience? Do they have offices in Canada? Becoming a nurse or teacher in her home country and getting some work experience may be a better pathway to Canada and PR as...

    Living with Canadian Citizen abroad - Definition of accompanying

    Canada now requires quite a lot more proof that you will be settling in Canada when sponsoring a spouse from abroad so not sure we can count on previous examples. Given that they are so close to meeting RO when they do actually settle in Canada not sure the risk of trying to count time abroad...

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

    For H&C that would still be very labour intensive, setting parameters of what would qualify for processing would be difficult and it would still likely lead to a large number of applications that would need to be processed. Processing times could still end up being decades. We’ll all need to...

    My medical expired last moth

    Yes this could be a problem. It would also be a problem if you are not honest.

    Sponsoring spouse and dependent children

    Tough to say how your application will be treated but comparing today’s IRCC to even last year’s IRCC means very little. IRCC has become much more strict when it comes to vetting, enforcement, etc. Also unclear whether you were ever common law before you became PR since you had your 1st child...

    Children accompanied in Spousal Open Work Permit

    Had you lived together for a year before you got PR?

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

    Have you contacted IRCC? You said you applied for H&C do you mean you whole family applied for H&C. You each got your own AIPs? Have you ordered GCMS notes?

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

    It is a year later! Have you contacted IRCC? Ordered GCMS notes? Is everyone in Canada? Did you all apply and get approved for H&C?

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

    Would say the Trudeau government wanted to be viewed as the most humanitarian country and 5-10 years voters were also still supportive of a more liberal immigration program. Think most reasonable Canadians still think we need to be welcoming but we need to prioritize Canadians and PRs first and...

    Living with Canadian Citizen abroad - Definition of accompanying

    You never actually settled in Canada with your partner so you didn’t actually accompany them abroad. Wouldn’t risk trying to count time you spent together before actually settling in Canada towards RO.

    Verification Of Status (Before Returning To Canada)

    Wow you got PRTD based on H&C in 2 months. That is very unusual.

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

    Would add that suing the government likely remains an option for people if H&C gets cancelled. Can’t guarantee what costs would be, how long it may take, what the chance of success would be and that CBSA wouldn’t remove you during the case. Something to discuss with a lawyer if bill c-12 is...

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

    H&C used to be a relatively small program but always had a quota just like there has always been PR targets for refugees/protected people. The processing times for refugees/protected people has gotten much longer and will continue getting longer because they do have a yearly PR quota. Canada is...

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

    Although there are certainly genuine H&C claims I don’t see a way to weed out potential genuine cases while also addressing the totally dysfunctional general H&C program. There are around 50k applications! What is more likely is cancelling the whole thing and potentially creating a new program...

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

    Bill c2 became bill c-12 primarily due to privacy concerns related to the bill not immigration. Notice how some immigration lawyers are the ones objecting not MPs.

    Help choosing reason for my mom’s visa application (support during childbirth)

    She doesn’t qualify for a supervisa unless as a dependent of your father on his supervisa application.
