    2024 - DR2 Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot Project - Protected person

    That’s great. Would just caution being too excited. Processing and getting to eCOPR and COPR may still take some time. We don’t see many of the pilot programs cases posting about their processing times (especially recently)so it is unclear whether the pilot programs are allocated a portion of...

    Can a refugee invite his/her family to Canada?

    ETAs are genuinely easy to obtain and are not processed manually so unless the applicant has a criminal record or has been removed from Canada they should get an ETA very quickly. Like any other visitor they will be assessed at the border for proof they are a genuine visitor, they have the funds...

    Work permit/study permit transition

    No you will not qualify. You have the ability to keep working under your study permit when you start studying but will have to reduce your work hours to 24 hours a week. As previously indicated you don’t qualify for EI if you can’t work because your WP ends or you change types of permits.

    W1 visa until 2030, can that be used for travel/visit purposes?

    Assume they must have a spouse who has been working in Canada and now has a WP that expires in 5 years and so the spouse has a corresponding SOWP. Yes they can travel to Canada. Whether you can enter is always determined at the border but normally no issue. Have they not been living in Canada...

    CWP/LMIA positive

    Realistically October travel may not be possible. Unless you have your new WP you would be on implied status so if you left Canada you could not return and work.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    Even with French her score may still be too low since many are now learning French to try to secure PR. She needs to go through her application and see if there is any other way of raising her score.

    Student to Lmia based work permit

    I wonder if this has to do with trucking. How does a person have time to get their class 1 driver’s license if you’re a genuine full-time student who likely also has to work.

    Humanitarian and Compassionate Application for my Mother.

    What type of health issue are we talking about? Supervisa may not even be an option.

    Humanitarian and Compassionate Application for my Mother.

    You first have to figure out if your parents are divorced or not. How long have they lived apart? Is hiring help not an option? Access to routine healthcare may be very difficult if not impossible for some specialists. Those with provincial insurance have priority and they are already...

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

    Most people are not hearing about AIP approval/refusal for over 2 years so your timeline is very normal.

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

    The fact that people were able to apply for H&C many times without being removed is a failure of Canada’s immigration system but CBSA is now enforcing removals. You used to be able to put almost all removals on hold during H&C process but many are now being removed if the result of the H&C is...

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

    Decisions pending for what? Restoration or H&C? Was your visitor record denied?

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

    We are seeing more H&C denials and we are going to see more that is just the current reality. It has become more difficult to become a PR in general. It costs a fortune to process H&C applications and processing of years does not benefit Canada and may not benefit the applicant. If reforms do...

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

    As already mentioned order GCMS notes. If I had to guess her age is likely a large factor. Assume she would able to care for herself if she had to return to her home country but will be interested to see the results. If not currently working with a lawyer you should be for your best chances of...

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

    You should be fine during the restoration period. The restoration is likely to be refused but will buy you more time. IRCC is stepping up their removals so if your mother is called to meet CBSA she should go to the meeting and if they do initiate the removal versus just checking in please...

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

    H&C will still be processed from outside of Canada and I have seen H&C cases approved after the people left Canada but I agree that it is not the best option in this scenario. Given the long processing times you could also end up with similar issues being on a supervisa. To strengthen an H&C...

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

    Very unlikely so I would not count on this even though there are groups who lobby for this. Trudeau attempted to do this and it was so unpopular the attempt was put on pause. There are so many people with status who are having difficult securing PR and Canada is trying to reduce the volume of...

    Can a refugee invite his/her family to Canada?

    It is actually. There does seem to be a higher approval rate after the primary applicant in Canada gets PR but still difficult. It could still take years for the family to receive PR as the dependents of a protected person. In general Canada does not want visitors coming to Canada who are not...
