    So let's say you entered Canada for the first time in 2018, then later again in 2021; the 2021 date counts.

    Bill C-12's Nearing Royal Assent and Refugee Claim Eligibility

    The entries before June 24, 2020 don't count towards the 1 year bar, but the earliest entry after that date does.

    Bill C-12's Nearing Royal Assent and Refugee Claim Eligibility

    https://t.co/CMtVJDjVuZ Suggests that, anyone who is affected by the new ineligibility rules will be offered a PRRA. So you won't be immediately rejected, rather will be pulled from the IRB/RPD process and moved to a PRRA process.

    Mistake on BOC Question 3

    Hi, I made my refugee claim in April 2025, and so far my claim has been deemed less complex with no possible exclusions. I can't get a lawyer, and can't get legal aid; so I ended up self-representing myself. In my Basis of Claim form, on question 3 "List the country or countries where you...

    question.. departure order.....urgent

    Start collecting documents if you haven't already. If you're able to prove what you're saying and answer any questions the minister's delegate may ask, you can get accepted.

    As far as I know, no. You will likely be offered a PRRA without waiting.

    There's nothing you can do about it, except for being prepared for your hearing.

    Refugee PR application: asked for supple documents again even though GCMS says it was received?

    Maybe you could call IRCC to confirm it. Otherwise your idea of resubmitting them with a short letter makes sense to me.

    Bill C-12's Nearing Royal Assent and Refugee Claim Eligibility

    Unfortunately, no. The Senate did not adopt any amendments to Bill C-12 that would allow refugee claimants who filed after 3 June 2025 to remain eligible if they had already been in Canada for more than one year before making their claim. The bill maintains the new ineligibility provisions added...

    Is FESS and Security Screening in the IRCC Portal the Same Thing?

    I didn't succeed in doing so, I don't think it's possible.

    Is FESS and Security Screening in the IRCC Portal the Same Thing?

    Hello everyone, I noticed that my Background Check was completed in the IRCC Portal. I wanted to ask if this meant that the Front-End Security Screening was also complete and transmitted to the IRB. Thank you for any responses.

    LOA - asked by IrCC 4 my kids study permit extension. How to get first LOA inside Canada studying in elementary school last 2.5years protected person

    Then get LOAs from their schools and submit them. Also explicitly specify that you need the “may accept employment” or “may work” conditions on the SPs. Try to get SINs again and explain the situation (maybe bring the IRCC letter with you), if ServiceCanada rejects it, you could apply for work...

    LOA - asked by IrCC 4 my kids study permit extension. How to get first LOA inside Canada studying in elementary school last 2.5years protected person

    ServiceCanada will not issue a SIN to kids unless their study permits will explicitly state “may accept employment” or “may work”; which it won't given that they're not post-secondary students. Your best chance is to apply for new work permits for them. Even though there's a belief that there's...
