    2025 PR Application Timeline

    I don’t think this means IRCC will finish all 115,000 cases first and then start processing newer applications. The 115,000 is an extra one-time initiative to reduce the older backlog. IRCC is still processing newer applications at the same time. Their current processing-time tool even shows...

    US B1/B2 Visa Questions

    I applied after the travel ban took effect. I had held U.S. visas for many years and traveled to the U.S. several times before. The interview was very simple, but the officer seemed unsure how the ban applied to my Canadian RTD, consulted other officers, and eventually put my case under 221(g)...

    US B1/B2 Visa Questions

    I’m in almost exactly the same situation. I’m from one of the nationalities affected by the travel ban, have a Canadian RTD, and no PR yet. I previously had several U.S. visas, but after my interview at the embassy, my application was placed under 221(g) administrative processing. It has been...

    RPD hearing next week received disclosure of documents prior to proceeding yesterday

    My advice to you, from experience and from the training I received from my lawyer, whether about this matter or any other matter, is: Don't offer information voluntarily unless you're asked for it. In case you are asked about it, tell the truth

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    The 2,900 decrease in 2024 may already include the ~400 from 2023 and even older applications, since the queue number is combined and not separated by application year. So this does not mean that 2,900 applicants from 2024 got PR as you wrote.

    US B1/B2 Visa Questions

    Hello everyone, Has anyone made a mistake in a child’s name on the U.S. visa appointment profile after paying the MRV fee? The DS-160 information is correct, but I accidentally reversed the first and last name in the appointment system. After correcting it, the system is asking for a new...

    I have experience with a country that recognizes the Apostille stamp (India also accepts it). If you're in Ontario, you can get this stamp from select Service Ontario locations (check their website) but you need to notarize it first and translate it if it is not in English or French , and then...

    Work permit renewal for Convention refugee

    I wouldn’t recommend applying too early. I suspect the delay happened because I submitted my application five months before the expiration date. In my opinion, the ideal time to apply is about one month before it expires. Just to clarify, this is based on my own experience and is just a...
