    Work Permit Expiry & PR Application in Pool – Options for Extension

    He can apply for a dummy extension that will only buy him a few months maximum. He does not qualify for a BOWP. Did his wife arrive on a TRV? His wife being in Canada will likely reduce his CRS score so at the moment not sure it makes sense for her to be in Canada as I assume a visitor. Where...

    H1B Interview appointment wait times in Canada

    Not sure governments are generally known for making adequate plans. Trump admin doesn’t have a great record of thinking about the downstream implications of their decisions so far. Also sure Miller’s goal is likely to reduce the number of foreign workers so making it harder and more difficult...

    Is EE FSW (Outside Canada) still open

    Just incredibly difficult to get selected. If they have a college (assume you mean uni) teaching job they should be aware that it may not be possible to get one in Canada. Would look into potential job opportunities in Canada since Canada has a small number of universities.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    In general the longer someone remains in Canada, especially if they now have a family in Canada who can retain their status, the harder it will be to remove them. If they have an easy pathway to return at a certain point the government needs to question whether resources being allocated to the...

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    Based on my brief look cash benefit likely not because it is essentially a welfare payment to supplement income but optical and dental and property tax relief if they own a home likely yes. Sponsoring parents to Canada comes with a large financial responsibility and may not be feasible for many...

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

    Germany doesn’t have some magical solution to integrate people. Germany has a similar immigration system to Canada in many ways and many would say it is more difficult to get permanent status and it takes longer to become a German citizen. There are people from abroad who become permanent...

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

    How exactly are the policies favouring people overseas? It is extremely hard to get PR from abroad at the moment unless a family member (mainly a spouse). The PR system favours those in Canada very heavily. There is already an expedited processing program for those who are likely to get approved...

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

    Don’t think anyone would ever call Quebec more capitalist or more American-style. The opposite is actually true. Plenty of provincial residents identify with their province 1st and would say you are just as likely to have someone mention they are from Alberta,BC, the Maritimes, the North, etc...

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

    The issue is H&C was never meant to provide a path to PR for a large group of people. What should have happened is limiting who could apply a long time ago even if some genuine H&C cases would no longer qualify. Also removing people faster so there isn’t an ability to apply multiple times or...

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

    Countries like Germany and Sweden experiencing their own significant immigration issues. Yes Canada expects that people will leave or they will try to make it uncomfortable to remain or remove people. We have already seen tactics that are supposed to entice people to self-deport. Various...

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

    Please ignore this spammer. AOR is taking around 5 months. It is currently taking around a year after that to have your file assigned to an officer but given the backlog that could be years by the time your application makes it to the front of the queue.

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Agree it is slow processing but a large part was due to applicant who asked for extensions to secure counsel, for mental health reasons but with no strong evidence of ongoing treatment/severe disability, etc. Also obtained new Peruvian passport after cessation had been started. Reason for travel...

    PR obligation not met, want to apply child benefit

    CRA accepting your proof of family income for the past 1-2 years while abroad can be an issue. Assume you notified CRA when you moved abroad if you ever filed taxes in Canada.
