    It does appear that there were potential issues with your application and that you have a criminal record so that could potentially lead to many questions requiring follow-up. That could take some time. Your lawyer is the one who could provide better insight regarding this issue.

    2023 Refugee Claims – Still Waiting? Gather Here

    This is getting more common. There is a backlog of ~300k applicants and IRB can’t process 100k cases/year so processing time make sense. The fact that all files need a hearing these day is yet another reason processing times will increase. Processing times were often 3 years in 2026 and...

    PR Renewal after entering Canada with multiple entry PRTD granted under H&C grounds (RC-1 code)

    I would use a similar tactic by working on proving that you are a permanent resident (as already mentioned through via verification of status) and then getting another copy of your SIN number documentation if you are unable to find the number.

    MPNP Application - Previous Stays in Canada section

    You typically have to provide a copy of your passport pages but that is a general requirement. What and if you need proof depends on stay and the reason. For example given you are applying for MPNP you may need proof that you have lived in Manitoba. Is that why you are asking?

    NLPNP pathways

    As long as you hadn’t started the application when you applied then you are fine. No having a study permit for the course when you needs one is an issue. If you worked more than 24 hours when you were doing the course is also an issue. You don’t need a study permit for a program that is less...

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

    Thought reforms would have already happened but hard to say what the timeline will be. This summer I have seen more examples of the courts being fed up with backlogs and processing times being used as an excuse. The courts are also being overwhelmed with both JRs and mandamus applications. In...

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

    Saw another petition on almost the same day that is very similar to this but by Ukrainians waiting for PR.

    Can i apply for a visitor record while in canada on maintained status?

    Why would you apply for the visitor record if you applied for a WP? When did your previous WP expire? Will you be withdrawing your WP application? The new WP application is what has given you implied status so if you withdraw it you would have been out of status since the expiry date of your WP.

    Adding another option: he could apply for outland sponsorship from the UK which would continue being processed while in Canada. He could apply for an SOWP faster because he should receive AOR faster if he applies for sponsorship a bit earlier. He would need to be in Canada before he applied for...

    Papillary Carcinoma (Thyroid Cancer) - SWOP Applicant

    Unlikely. Thyroid hormone replacement drugs are inexpensive. Monitoring would likely be the bigger expense.
