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

    H&C never prevented a removal from Canada but it was rarely enforced. We are seeing many more cases where removals are being enforced during H&C processing and stays of removals are also being denied if the result of H&C is not imminent. Your lawyer is the only one who can really provide...

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

    Although the fundamentals of H&C remain the same when you applied for H&C Canada’s doors were wide open to all forms of immigration. That is no longer the case and there are significantly more H&C claims plus a yearly quota that is being enforced so it may be much more difficult to obtain H&C...

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

    This is a highly unusual case and the basis of the claim is primarily related to PPRA and TSR not H&C.

    Residency obligation

    Wouldn’t recommend renouncing above age 45 with the expectation that you’ll be able qualify again. Probably best not to renounce and see if you end up losing status at a certain point. This plan comes with uncertainty and some other challenges. Only you can determine what is best for you and...

    PR confirmation portal timelines

    @MapleJourney2024 @BlessingsForAll These are not abnormal processing time so would just be patient and not order GCMS notes at this time. March applicants will have likely received P2 before receiving the GCMS notes. Also GCMS notes are very unlikely to give you more information at this...

    2024 - DR2 Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot Project - Protected person

    That’s great. Would just caution being too excited. Processing and getting to eCOPR and COPR may still take some time. We don’t see many of the pilot programs cases posting about their processing times (especially recently)so it is unclear whether the pilot programs are allocated a portion of...

    Can a refugee invite his/her family to Canada?

    ETAs are genuinely easy to obtain and are not processed manually so unless the applicant has a criminal record or has been removed from Canada they should get an ETA very quickly. Like any other visitor they will be assessed at the border for proof they are a genuine visitor, they have the funds...

    Work permit/study permit transition

    No you will not qualify. You have the ability to keep working under your study permit when you start studying but will have to reduce your work hours to 24 hours a week. As previously indicated you don’t qualify for EI if you can’t work because your WP ends or you change types of permits.

    W1 visa until 2030, can that be used for travel/visit purposes?

    Assume they must have a spouse who has been working in Canada and now has a WP that expires in 5 years and so the spouse has a corresponding SOWP. Yes they can travel to Canada. Whether you can enter is always determined at the border but normally no issue. Have they not been living in Canada...

    CWP/LMIA positive

    Realistically October travel may not be possible. Unless you have your new WP you would be on implied status so if you left Canada you could not return and work.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    Even with French her score may still be too low since many are now learning French to try to secure PR. She needs to go through her application and see if there is any other way of raising her score.

    Student to Lmia based work permit

    I wonder if this has to do with trucking. How does a person have time to get their class 1 driver’s license if you’re a genuine full-time student who likely also has to work.

    Humanitarian and Compassionate Application for my Mother.

    What type of health issue are we talking about? Supervisa may not even be an option.

    Humanitarian and Compassionate Application for my Mother.

    You first have to figure out if your parents are divorced or not. How long have they lived apart? Is hiring help not an option? Access to routine healthcare may be very difficult if not impossible for some specialists. Those with provincial insurance have priority and they are already...

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

    Most people are not hearing about AIP approval/refusal for over 2 years so your timeline is very normal.

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

    The fact that people were able to apply for H&C many times without being removed is a failure of Canada’s immigration system but CBSA is now enforcing removals. You used to be able to put almost all removals on hold during H&C process but many are now being removed if the result of the H&C is...

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

    We are seeing more H&C denials and we are going to see more that is just the current reality. It has become more difficult to become a PR in general. It costs a fortune to process H&C applications and processing of years does not benefit Canada and may not benefit the applicant. If reforms do...
