    H&C Unique situation with my 76-year-old mother. Advice appreciated

    The easy repeat extensions and long supervisa “visits” are giving people the false sense that this is a permanent move. The daughter only got her PR in 2024 where was the longterm care planning knowing the mother was on a limited visitor visa in Canada? Also why was the son not part of...

    Best plan of action

    Assume you have also looked at processing time for spousal sponsorship in Quebec. Good chance you both will be over 50 when you get approved. She will get a WP when you get AOR for sponsorship.

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

    BIOC is even too broad. Everyone with a child who is in Canada can make some sort of BIOC case and huge variability on approval between who is evaluating the case. Also plenty of non-parent and sibling cases in the pool.

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

    Immigration in Canada is incredibly different than it was just a year ago. Getting H&C approved in 2023 and probably applying during 2021/22 is entirely different to current day. You and your spouse need to upskill asap. Learn French, increase your English skills, move to a rural community or...

    Estimate for Refugee Hearing Date for Refugee Claim Filed 2025

    Unstable countries is a stretch. Many still get denied from unstable countries. Way too many countries that would be deemed “unstable”. You need additional reason why you personally can’t return to your home country if there is no active conflict.

    Estimate for Refugee Hearing Date for Refugee Claim Filed 2025

    Yes any changes to how asylum claims are processed or who qualifies will likely be challenged legally. The newer asylum claimants with long periods of time already may get expedited processing to try to deny the ones without grounds as far as possible.

    Anyone know how to check for my case online and check my background check while waiting for a hearing?

    Not what you want to hear but you may be years away from getting a hearing. No way to figure out where you are exactly in the process but your background check is unlikely to have been even started. Have you been contacted as potentially being part of expedited processing?

    Residency Obligation 730 days

    Contact CRA to answer these questions. Very unlikely to be a big deal if you have not received payments from Canada after you left Canada. CRA has bigger issues than the large volume of people who don’t inform CRA they have left Canada. Given the details you listed you appear to have been a...

    Not sure what you mean. There will be no change in protection you receive between being an asylum claimant and a protected person while in Canada.

    6 months is incredibly rare these days even for cases identified as high chance of approval with no hearing needed. The backlog is just too big.

    Estimate for Refugee Hearing Date for Refugee Claim Filed 2025

    These applicants are being targeted because of difficulty getting PR these days. The majority in this situation likely have no grounds and are applying in attempt to remain in Canada and continue working. The problem is a few will so IRCC is struggling with how to deal with the issue.
