    PSR timelines — Turkey (Ankara visa office)

    Not unusually long especially at moment. Private sponsorship was always a long process but as Canada tries to reduce the volume of PRs in general and is struggling to absorb an extremely high volume of Asylum seekers, refugees and other H&C files who have arrived in the past 5-10 years.

    USA Visa: Using my refugee travel document

    You still used your US visa for purposes other than visiting the US so the US would consider that you lied when applied for the B1/B2 and/or when you entered the US. I assume you did not declare you planned to claim asylum when landing at your US destination and likely said you were on a...

    Still lots of consideration even with longer processing times in Quebec. Would not be leaving a job at the moment for example without another one lined up given the economic conditions.

    Stuck outside Canada: TRV security screening since May — experiences + advice on priority?

    When you graduate and not when your study permit ends is what is important. Study permits typically are no longer valid 90 days after you finish your studies.

    Super visa query for my mother in laws case

    1. Would only mention it in the context of meeting the baby or a family visit. A baby creates another tie to Canada. Many make the mistake of including medical letters for routine pregnancies and using verbiage like helping care for the baby, household, etc. which can be considered illegal work...

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    Given you lived together for a year it shouldn’t be an issue but you should also be prepared to do things like post about your marriage online for example. Many have these formal engagement ceremonies but then have small civil ceremony soon after. It wouldn’t make sense to have a formal...

It was meant for exceptional circumstances and it has become a program for anyone without a pathway to PR from failed asylum claimants, international students, work permit holders, parents/other family members, visitors with...
