    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.

    Parents & Grandparents Program(PGP) 2025

    There isn’t a consistent timeline. Some may get it earlier than 30 weeks while others will wait longer. IRCC is trying to reduce the annual PR quota for PGP applicants and there was already a backlog. What happens to PGP in the next few years will also have an impact on current processing times...

    Refused PRTD and appeal

    If you feel comforting sharing more information it would be really interesting to know the whole story. Those of us who volunteer on this forum often don’t get to hear about the outcomes or these types of cases even if we hear about the initial phases.

    Sorry forget that not everyone may be familiar with the acronyms. GI would be gastroenterologist. A gastroenterologist treats conditions of the digestive track but that is a fairly broad term so the doctor who you may have seen to treat hepatitis could have referred to him or herself a...

    Need help to understand EE draw system

    They all technically get invited at the same time but the candidates who get selected aren’t random they are the ones who have the highest scores. It isn’t a random draw for 2000 applicants between 520-600 points. The applicant who has 600 points will get selected before a candidate who has 599...

    Did she apply to renew her PR card last time she was in Canada? If using a land border she can cross without a valid PR card.

    Need help to understand EE draw system

    Would be surprised to see such a large draw. Using your scenario the 2000 candidates who have the highest scores will be the ones who will receive invitations. If the lowest score to qualify is 525 for example then the tie break rule will apply to applicants who have a score of 525.

    Clinical Trial Visa?

    How do you not know? Your MD is typically the one who would suggest the clinical trial as an option and typically would have done an initial screening to determine whether you are a potential candidate for the clinical trial based on the listed parameters. When did you lose your status in...

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

    That doesn’t make a lot of sense especially since others have reported that IRCC has communicated that they may not start rolling out their 1 time initiative until late 2026 if not later. Until there is a concrete plan on how IRCC plans on running their 1 time initiative (and whether they...

    irb toronto office hearing timelines

    Although getting a hearing is somewhat chronological you really need to compare to similar cases to get an idea of when you may get a hearing. Members tend to hear cases from the same regions because they are experts on issues affecting that area, know about cultural norms, etc. Within claims...

    Clinical Trial Visa?

    There typically is complementary care needed to be part of the trial and the potential for hospitalizations which often is billed provincially if no hospitalizations are part of the trial. It often becomes a shared expense in the case of complications or complications that may trigger other...

    PPR to Visa stamping - Super Visa Application India timeline

    Do not book tickets close to the 30 days. Would personally wait until you actually have the passport back but you can’t count on processing times and sometimes there are unexpected problems.
