    Need help -Spouse work permit protected person

    Going off-topic but just curious here. Usually LMIAs are sponsored by employers and thus are closed work permits instead of open work permits. So I'm curious as to how someone can have an open work permit directly through an LMIA.

    Oh that's a bit tough. As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/refugee-travel-document-or-certificate-of-identity-after-getting-pr-my-previous-refugee-travel-document-expired.875050/#post-11103735 you actually were not suppose to do that: But someone did...

    Refugee Travel Document - Statutory Declaration In Lieu of Guarantor

    I've not seen this situation before. I'd do two separate ones to be safe.

    travel to india ( using refugee travel document)

    Hmm. I saw that in 2022 you also went to the Open House and at that time, they did your application right then and there. Of course, a lot has happened since then, e.g. https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-india-canada-visa-suspensions/ and...

    Refugee Travel Document 2025 timeline

    Do you know at least if it was sent via Purolator or Canada Post? Canada Post lost one of our passports ... multiple times. And they had a national strike going on when your RTD was dispatched, and the rotating strikes are still ongoing. If you check out the guide/wizard on...

    Refugee Travel Document or Certificate of Identity after getting PR? (My previous Refugee Travel Document expired)

    From my reading of the instructions it seems like the eCoPR might be optional/not needed, the decision of notice is more important. Though, I suppose it doesn't hurt anything to include it anyways (for peace of mind if nothing else) as it's just one extra page.

    Refugee Travel Document or Certificate of Identity after getting PR? (My previous Refugee Travel Document expired)

    I looked at the application form itself, https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/passport/forms/pdf/pptc190.pdf 3 PROOF OF IMMIGRATION STATUS IN CANADA (SEE INSTRUCTIONS, SECTION I) To establish your immigration status in Canada, provide a photocopy of one (1) of the...

    New Budget and PR processing

    I have the same concern. Is this really that hidden from the public though? Like, each spot needs funding and thus has to be part of the budget approved by Parliament, right? I was optimistically hoping that the only distinction that they were trying to make was between permanent targets that...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    Okay... just to confirm, if you were given the choice to return to your home country and wait there, but in return your PR would be ready in eight months and then you could come back to Canada as a full PR - you'd take that deal? So I was trying to demonstrate why no one in this position should...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    So the consultant said, emphasis mine. (Again emphasis mine.) But you did miss quoting part from the link, > Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) is pleased to release details on the 2026-2028 Immigration Levels Plan (Levels Plan). The Levels Plan includes temporary resident...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    So let's assume that the opposite is true - that protection is assumed to not be needed as much as fast processing for PR. Well, in the past, inland applications took longer than outland to process. So, let's kick all these folks back to their home country where they fear for their lives and...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    I've been thinking on this. In truth a protected person/refugee is not just a temporary residence. These folks (assuming they're approved) get to stay in Canada for as long as they want and get a guaranteed path to PR. While still less than actual PR, I suppose this should be considered a...

    Urgent: Sudden Increase in PR Processing Times for Refugees and Protected Persons (Up to 99 Months!)

    Yeah, so, I was looking at alternatives that might work if the direct issue (long PR wait due to quotas) couldn't be addressed. E.g. So I would ask - is this enough? If not, what is specifically missing from the above proposal?

    Yes, it does. Read the post above yours.

    Filing Income Tax Returns after leaving Canada

    My guess is the OP (the thread starter). It seems like this includes calling the CRA to obtain a copy of the T4s, as per https://www.canada.ca/en/revenue-agency/services/tax/individuals/topics/about-your-tax-return/tax-return/completing-a-tax-return/tax-slips/a-copy-your-tax-slips.html To...

    My visa for PR Canada was approved. Can I use this visa to stop over in the United States to fly to Canada?

    I'm a bit late but if OP still can use some help - or for future lurkers who have the same question - I'd recommend asking on https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/143-tourist-visas/ or https://www.immihelp.com/forum/usa-visitors-visa specifically, these seem to have lots of activity and good...

    Seeking Community Support to Escape Deportation by U.S. ICE and Start Anew in Canada

    Agreed - that's why I'm taking the time to add my two cents in here. As a warning to others to not try this idea. Also agreed. Def a scam. I suspect that the plan here would have been to make use of the 14 day rule exception instead. > Once an asylum seeker has entered, they can only file an...

    Open Work Permit for the spouse using AOR received from inland PR application

    Yes, he should be able to work, since he had a valid work permit before applying for the OWP. And since the OWP is an independent one (there's no study permit involved anymore) there's no limit to the hours. Hmm... paper is slow so it might work? I'm not sure. Since this is for someone out of...
