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

    There no chance IRCC is going to increase PR quotas, eliminate quotas, etc. for all forms of PRs, protected people and their dependents. It was the government’s responsibility to try to minimize how many were arriving in Canada and claiming asylum and to limit the size of refugee programs coming...

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

    IRCC is not going to announce the cancellation of programs in advance. Also the minister made errors in the committee hearing so not sure I would take her word. Based on my sources H&C quota for all H&C programs will remain at the 2026 levels and I don’t see how general H&C program can continue...

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

    That wouldn’t solve the fundamental issue of decreasing temporary residents and limiting number of PRs and the general population growth in Canada for PRs/citizens. Would take 5-10 years to clear the backlog since I assume you are not eliminating the ability for PRs and citizens to sponsor a...

    Deceased mother of my step sister/ step sibling points.

    If your father’s partner was still alive when you applied it should be ok. Given they were common law you may be asked for additional proof. I would advise IRCC of the death just to be upfront & honest with IRCC versus them potentially finding out if they ask for more proof of family proof.

    Proving cohabitation without joint lease/bills for a same-sex couple outside Canada

    Doesn’t sound like he may have met the residency period to qualify for provincial health card and if he doesn’t probably wouldn’t include it.

    2025 PR Application Timeline

    Would be using the new processing tool. IRCC is giving you the best approximation of processing times. Previous posted processing times did not reflect accurate future processing times as they started to increase and the processing times will continue to increase. If you had been following the...

    Spousal Sponsorship from Quebec with the intention to relocate to Ontario

    1. Submit proof of move to Ontario like lease, employment in Ontario, health card/driver’s license, etc. 2. Unclear how Quebec applicants who move to Quebec are put into the queue. You have already done certain steps so won’t start from scratch.

    PR renewal for Spouse who hasn't met residency obligations

    Things like driver’s licenses are also getting harder to obtain without valid proof of status. This was an issue in some provinces but Ontario just announced they are also going to require proof. Assume other provinces will follow. Health cards can also be difficult to obtain without a valid PR...

    Processing times, how accurate and did I screw myself over?

    Realistically January start date is very unlikely even if you get processing within 8 weeks which is unlikely from Egypt. Also assumes that you get approved. What program & school are you applying to? What is your education and work history? Age? How much savings can you show?

    Should I Withdraw or Keep Active? Wife’s Visitor Record Still Pending After Applying for SOWP

    Whether you should wait partially depends on your local school board and also your willingness to the risk that the VR could be denied if IRCC wants a study permit. Not sure why you didn’t apply it is not a complex process for your child. You can specify they are attending your local public school.
