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

    The more interesting part is the table which is just scary. There is at least 115k H&C applications in the backlog when 2026 target is 6.5k I think. The year after 4.5k. The math doesn’t work.

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    Given they would automatically be refused if new legislation passes that is not a great suggestion. They should meet with a few immigration lawyers and hopefully one will give them a realistic view of chances of being able to secure PR via a humanitarian pathway, processing times as well as...

    Waiting for this school to close down now that masters degrees also require PAL and volume of international students has decreased. Not sure how these provinces keep supporting these private schools.

    Should I make an asylum application or a 'Humanitarian & Compassionate' application?

    The issue is it could be an issue for an H&C claim if you are not financially self-sufficient. It is incredibly dependent on the specifics but if able to work that is always preferable for H&C cases. There is no right to receive disability payments. Even if you are disabled you may not qualify...

    Inland application would like to travel out of Canada.

    Are you currently working? That is different than have a WP. Is this 1 week course essential? Would be much safer to return with your partner and limit your travels to 3 weeks. There are no concrete rules about this but 1 month is tough to justify as a vacation based on Canadian standards...

    Residency Obligation not met

    Argument could be made whether 2020/21 vs now is worse. There were at least survival jobs to be found and some remote opportunities in 2020/2021. It has always been challenging for Indian professionals to transition to Canada which is why moving earlier on in life gives you more time to get back...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    Ignore posted processing times they are backward looking. Compare yourself to others being processed in or outside Quebec to get the most realistic idea of current processing times. Processing times will continue to increase. There was a large number of asylum claimant (many who became...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    You are essentially in a long queue. Canada received a large volume of asylum claimants (many who became protected people) and refugees in a short period of time under the Trudeau government for a variety of reasons. Now most are applying for PR all while Canada tries to decrease the volume of...

    Inland application would like to travel out of Canada.

    ETA and TRV all essentially the same thing. No a TRV would not let you remain outside longer. IRCC has typically overlooked short travels abroad while applying inland. They do realize that people may go on vacation or have to travel for a business. Most Canadians get 2-3 weeks of vacation a...
