    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    I understand that the safest way is to wait. I was of the same opinion before. But what motivated me is what happened with my sibling. Like me, she too had applied for a study permit application, but it was refused because a PR status was found to be active. We were completely unaware up until...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Yes, this is puzzling. A possible clerical error. I don't know. No, my parents did not receive any such communication.

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Thank you very much for the detailed response. I agree that I have the right to pay domestic fees, and not overpay international fees. But the problem here is, that the fees has already been paid. The course I am currently in is a one-year program and the tuition has been paid for in full. This...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    I would like to clarify a few points here: 1. The PR card I received in 2007 had validity till 2012. Not 2017. I was wrong about the year. This validity is what I am talking about when I stated above that my status is "inactive" 2. The SIN number I have right now is a new one, not the old one...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    I do have all my documents ready. The reason for reaching out on this forum was that I was wondering if now is a good time to file for my renewal, since I have been here already, through 100% legal pathways. If I forgot to mention before, in the statement of interest for my study permit...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Nothing of that sort happened. My passport wasn't stamped with anything out of place and just like other international students, I was provided with a study permit at the border. If required, I do have proof of my living in Canada for the past 8 months. I do not have the benefit of paying...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Thank you for the reply! I am 22 years old, I entered in September 2022 and I have been here for 8 months now. I am ready to complete my 730 days here, but does it really count toward my RO? Since it is beyond my card's expiry date. If it does, I'm happy to just focus on completing my RO.

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Thank you so much for your reply! I am not aware of the 44(1). The way I re-entered Canada was through a study permit. And yes, it is odd. My university immigration lawyer said that this was probably a clerical error on the part of the IRCC. I am prepared to stay here for the next one year to...

    PR expired in 2007- applying for renewal on H&C grounds

    Hello, I was issued a PR card in 2007 when my family immigrated to canada, but we left soon after, without being able to fulfill the residency obligation. In 2022, I applied for a course in Ontario and I was granted a study permit ending 31 December, 2023(for a 1-year masters degree). After...
