    Refugee Claim Timeline | 2025

    Canada is facing unprecedented backlogs. Not getting smaller. At least be right if you feel the need to criticize me. https://www.irb-cisr.gc.ca/en/statistics/protection/Pages/index.aspx

    Open work permit for spouse

    There are countless examples of families of protected people, asylum claimants and refugees getting denied. Also a TRV doesn’t guarantee entry into Canada. Getting a TRV in general is much harder than it was just a year ago.

    Protected Person can buy house with mortgage?

    Depends why and whether they qualify. Adding people and trying to take people off of mortgages comes with a lot of potential issues. Many are now stuck on mortgages they can’t get off of. If you are trying to circumvent purchasing requirements also not a good idea. Would suggest speaking to a...

    Can my wife apply for the BOWP as an accompanying spouse in a PR application? (PLEASE HELP!)

    If living in Quebec the government has made it quite clear that they will require economic immigrants to have a certain competence in French. It is unfortunate that she has not been learning French or at least trying to learn French like many people are across Canada. You could have avoided a...

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship – Cohabitation Proof Question (Rental Agreement with Family Member

    You can include things like phone bill with your name and address on it. Scene card is a points collection card so not a very strong proof of address.

    SOWP living in a different province from principal applicant?

    The wife only got approved in order to join their husband in Canada. Family reunification is the goal of SOWP and study permits or TRV for children. Why is the spouse not moving to live with their spouse? Of course they won’t qualify for UHIP. If doing a postgrad in Ontario there is a good...

    Study Permit Refused under R216(1)(b)

    How old are you and have you been working since 2023? What has been your role? Would order GCMS notes but would agree that this screams I want to immigrate not study. Assume you are aware there is no guarantee of family sponsorship so if your goal is immigration you will need to make longterm...

    Refugee Claim Timeline | 2025

    Or I provide realistic and correct information. You are not even aware of different processing options. While expedited processing used to take 6-12 months now fairly common for it to take over a year. For normal processing 1-2 years was common a few years ago but due to the backlog over 2...

    Refugee Claim Timeline | 2025

    Nothing you can do. IRCc evaluates cases to determine if they qualify for expedited processing and will notify you if you qualify.

    Front end security

    Nothing you can do until processing time is significantly different to others. We’re talking years not months. Calling and sending webforms will also have no impact on the processing time of your security screening.

    Can my wife apply for the BOWP as an accompanying spouse in a PR application? (PLEASE HELP!)

    You can certainly try but not sure that is an acceptable answer. Same as saying you didn’t include your spouse because it would have reduced your points. Your spouse should have been learning French if she was with you in Quebec and knew you were applying for PR. If she hasn’t learned French she...

    Could take up to 2-3 years to get a hearing unless you expedited processing which is around 1 year. There are huge backlogs.

    Can my wife apply for the BOWP as an accompanying spouse in a PR application? (PLEASE HELP!)

    So how are you going to argue she is non-accompanying and your file shouldn’t be reassessed with her accompanying if sent a PFL?

    Can my wife apply for the BOWP as an accompanying spouse in a PR application? (PLEASE HELP!)

    There is a bigger issue. If IRCC and/or Quebec sends you a PFL saying they don’t believe she is non-accompanying and requires her to be added to your application as accompanying. How long has she been in Canada? Is she a visitor or has she had other status?

    Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot

    1. No impact. It may not be approved because he is not a genuine visitor but no harm trying. Depending on what province you live in he may not qualify for healthcare or free public schooling so would do your research and make arrangement if you need to purchase emergency health insurance for...
