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

    Bill c-12 will impact more than H&C applicants. Legault had been premier 7 years which is a long time for Quebec. This is just a normal political cycle although he did himself no extra favours in the past 2-3 years. Very normal for an unpopular leader to leave within a year of an election to...

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

    It is purely data and history. Also pretty high consensus between the immigration lawyers and consultants I interact with. When immigration programs in the past (as recently as last year) became no longer functional the government decided to cull the program and start all over again. If IRCC was...

    Withdrawl of approved protected person status and moving to home country permanently

    You need to contact CBSA and say you are a protected person and want to leave Canada and are prepared to purchase your own ticket. Does CBSA have your passport?

    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    Processing is only one consideration. If employed can she find employment outside Quebec and the cost of living is often higher in places like Ontario so can she afford a higher cost of living.

    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    Pre arrival just means sponsor eligibility has passed and has nothing to do with being close to final decision. IRCC should really change the name.

    proof of funds on first landing

    Should be in cash because the funds are supposed to be accessible to use for settlement.

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

    They would never tell you and they may be unaware of what IRCC is planning. Most MPs have only a basic knowledge of immigration. A program no longer being functional and having a processing time of up to decades is exceptional. We’ll see what happens but would not trust any government official...

    CEC and proof of common-law scrutiny.

    So you were common law before study permit was approved or you landed in Canada? Based on my interpretation of your posts you haven’t been living together since 2023 right?

    Visitor to work permit

    So you applied for a visitor record around 3-4months ago after your WP was refused? What did your work permit refusal say in terms of your status? Your attempts to keep extending your time in Canada could be problematic. Would help if you were doing an advanced degree at a reputable university.

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

    It was much easier to get approved even 1+ years ago. Doesn’t mean approvals were close to 100%. Government also allowed people to keep applying multiple times without removal. We see examples of many parents who got approved a few years ago and similar cases getting denied now. We also see...

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

    No insider info. If you ask any immigration lawyer or consultant who doesn’t just want your money they have a similar consensus that something drastic will happen to general H&C and the most obvious answer is to cull the whole program and start from scratch with much stricter criteria. I have...

    Help, what fees am I paying for OWP?

    Ok then you can apply for OWP. There is a good chance you will get PR first. No you shouldn’t need to restore your status first.

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

    Realistically none of these numbers matter until we hear what IRCC is going to do with H&C and that is likely only going to happen after bill c-12 passes.

    Applying for Student Permit extension then PR

    Given the extremely long processing times I would not be counting on getting PR through the HK program. I would be doing anything possible to qualify via other pathways. You should certainly still apply but would be learning French for example, working in a field in high demand in Canada...

    Visitor visa

    They have Canadian immigration history of returning home which is good but retiring creates less ties to their home country. If they weren’t retired not sure how they could visit for 6 months. If you qualify you should consider a supervisa since that is more dependent on your profile than a...

    Visit visa for dying sister

    Realistically it may be difficult depending on her profile but you should definitely try. Be very clear you want to be considered for compassionate reasons and keep the visit relatively short (a few weeks maximum) for a higher chance of approval. Good luck!

    Need help with parents visitor visa

    In what time period were the 4 applications? Are you a PR? Does your NOA meet LICO? With your spouse? You should have considered a supervisa after the first or 2nd refusal.

    Help, what fees am I paying for OWP?

    You won’t qualify for an OWP until AIP if out of status. If it has been less than 90 days since you lost your status apply to restore your status.
