    Family entering Canada with 2 month short on RO

    There is no distinction between a minor or major shortfall under the requirements. 1 day short or 100 days short are shortfalls. What enters into the discussion is the discretion to, for lack of better words, overlook the shortfall. And that falls to CBSA. So to answer your question 3, with...

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

    I don't think it does mean that IRCC can't extend processing times. Reviewing the actual judgement, it clearly states the minister can set processing times and priorities for application types. The issue in this case was a second Ministers Insteuction was issued that didn't provide transparency...

    PGP paused for 2026

    There's gonna be some seriously angry people! Especially over the the fact that of the 60K in Que, they only plan on accepting 30K over the next 2 years. How long do you think it will be before someone pulls out the "Unconstitutional" card?

    Spouse sponsorship refusal

    So what other immigration applications did you or your spouse apply for before prior to 2024 that you declared yourself as single? It looks like they may have overlooked any potential misrepresentation because they were refusing it for other grounds. That said, no gaurantee that won't come up in...

    Spouse sponsorship refusal

    I'll start with : hire a really good immigration lawyer in Canada, because I believe you're going to have a lot of hoops to jump through at this point. So, I think the issue you are going to encounter with a new application is that IRCC won't recognize the marriage, even though he has finalized...

    Reapplying after a refusal ( applying for bachelor's study permit from Pakistan )

They'd also have significantly more insight into the regional application of a BBA to improve your outcomes iver a 3rd rate university in the middle of...

    IRPA 28(2)(a)(ii) Calculation: Soft Landing Only + Co-habitation with Citizen Spouse Prior to Divorce

    Agreed that our circumstance and that of the OP are not related, other than the intent to settle. The OP has far more complexity to deal with. It was more to highlight lived experience vs anicdotal statements about settlement obligations. The timing is slightly farther out than the 5 years...

    IRPA 28(2)(a)(ii) Calculation: Soft Landing Only + Co-habitation with Citizen Spouse Prior to Divorce

    The point was to get her PR and settle in Canada. But shit happens. As far as renewal, not an issue since she's now a citizen. The point of the post was to highlight that anicdotal statements don't represent the fact that IRCC, by its own admissions, didn't really follow its own policies...
