    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...

    So a bunch of questions.... How short of RO are your parents? (The Iran war has only been going on about 4 months) Are your parents planning to leave Canada agin in the near future? If not, why do they feel the need to renew?

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

    Why wouldn't you choose NUS (Singapore, top 10 worldwide) rather than U of W (ranked between 800-1200 worldwide) for essentially the same cost? 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...

    spouse visa as 2nd wife

    Just so everyone who is contemplating attempting to bring their second or third or 11th spouse, in addition to their first in hopes of reuniting their family arrangements, "Bigamy" (having more than one spouse) is a criminal offence in Canada, punishable by up to 5years imprisonment. Doesn't...

    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...

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

    So, personal experience of sponsoring during that time....sponsored spouse from Indonesia, the only proof of intent to reside in Canada was a note about staying with my sister temporarily. No job search, no job application, nada. Arrived in Canada (she was on a TRV) a month before the COPR, got...

    Multiple Entry Visa Re-entry

    Just apply for an extension of 12 months. That will get her about 10 months of implied status before you get an answer.

    ETA withdrawal

    Since they seem to have started processing, it will be at IRCCs discretion whether they decide to let you withdraw the application. You may end up with a refusal anyway. With a request for additional information, you shouldn't expect a response until after the date they gave you for submitting them.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    That's correct. They are allowed in that decision. But during the appeal, days are suspended until the decision is made.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    The most responsible answer I can give to that is: it depends on the CBSA officer you encounter. There seems to be a lot of latitude in their discretion. A lot will depend on how far out of compliance you are and whether you have H&C reasons for not meeting RO. Despite what many here will tell...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    You have 30 days to appeal. Beyond that, with the current state of IRCC, it's hard to predict an actual timeline. You can remain in Canada (and it's strongly recommended you do) until a final determination is made. Keep in mind, accumulated days in Canada are paused until the final determination...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Only if there is some form of "serious" criminality. The risk is being reported, not being allowed to enter.
