    Clinical Trial Visa?

    When it comes to trials that will need very specific medical information to initially screen patients they typically do. There are self-referring clinical studies but trialing a new treatment for a chronic condition is rarely self-referring because it isn’t a good way to recruit participants.

    security and background checks stage for 2025 asylum claimnants

    You should avoid leaving Canada if you are not a protected person for any reason unless you’d be happy abandoning your asylum claim. Realistically there’s a huge backlog so processing may take a year or two even for less complex cases.
