    Parents Visa ending, Can’t go back due to war, No Flights allowed into the country.

    Would apply for the visitor record closer to the end of her 6 month visit if she was awarded an up to 6 month visit or right before her scheduled flight. You should include any information you are being given by the airline about the status of flights going into Iran and what is the airline’s...

    Left Canada when a minor

    There has been significant changes since around 2020 when you could easily return with minimal time spent in Canada as a minor up to age 25. As more people were using this method to retain PR for their children it was inevitable that IRCC would begin to be stricter about who really had genuine...

    Withdraw sponsorship of spouse

    Think that lawyers from some community groups are more sensitive to other issues surrounding sponsorship applications and may be privy to arrangements that have been made to secure a marriage. They often also don’t want to be known as an ineffective lawyer in the community friends since...

    Confused!!

    The other big issue is the timeframe. It is extremely unusual to live with a partner as soon as you start dating. Was her marriage in Canada? Did they ever live together in Canada? There could be concern that the 1st marriage and SOWP were obtained solely for immigration purposes. Is the ex...

    PR CARD Renewal rejection based on new passport name change format

    A bit of a late reply but if your father was in India when you helped him apply for a PR card that is the bigger issue. He must be in Canada to apply.

    PR (Permanent Resident) applied from Quebec in April 2023 as a Refugee (Protected Person) and now it’s 2026

    The one caveat is you need to actually settle outside of Quebec now.

    Withdraw sponsorship of spouse

    It would actually be misrepresentation not to inform IRCC that you are no longer in a relationship. As soon as you separated you should gave informed IRCC but since you haven’t you should do so it asap. I have read some cases where lawyers sadly considered the sponsored spouse’s interest (which...

    TRV Question - Spouse

    Would suggest waiting until you have completed the religious ceremony unless you have a long history of in person dating. Once you have AOR from the sponsorship apply for the TRV.

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    Did someone advise you to drop your studies and apply for asylum instead? Bill c-2 or maybe it was already c-12 at that time made applying for asylum a much more risky prospect than studying and working for 3 years with the goal to secure PR.

    PR living in US (H1B) – Issues with US Plates and Residency Scrutiny at Border

    Only one can be your primary residence.

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

    That makes no sense. IRCC sees that processing is decades for these programs that is why they may be culled and reformed not because they read someone posting about it on the internet. They did a similar thing around 15 years ago for an economic immigration program so this isn’t something new.

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    When did your PGWP expire and when did you apply for asylum? Many are applying when they run out of options to remain and not as soon as there is a major country condition change that may make getting asylum possible.

    Case ineligible due to bill C-12

    H&C not a great option. Processing is many decades at the moment, doesn’t prevent removal and is one of the programs that is at high risk for major chances since it is no longer functional.

    MPNP Nominee moved to Ontario right after landing—will this affect Citizenship?

    Would likely come up either by provinces auditing their MPNP system or during your citizenship application. Surprised it didn’t come up with your PR card if it was delivered to Ontario not Manitoba.

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

    That would justify higher asylum claims. Many H&C applicants have no pathway to PR and that is why they applied for H&C.

    Applying Together: Student Visa and Spouse Work Permit Canada.

    Would add that if they want to study thinking this is a pathway to PR when they are a between 62-66 depending on their length of study this is not a great plan even if they are miraculously get a SP. Canada heavily favours young people for economic immigration.

    Accidental unauthorized work (12 days) between graduation and PGWP application. Applying for PR now. Advice needed: do I need an LOE?

    Would check with a lawyer given how strict IRCC has become but in the past being transparent, explaining you didn’t understand the rules, that you have always followed the rules when it comes to working in Canada and be extremely apologetic worked. Don’t count the time towards work history in...

    Super Visa NOA

    Yes. You need to show you have the savings to pay for the costs of daily life of your parents and any emergencies that may come up.

    fake lgbt refugee claim

    Although sexuality is fluid if you were adamant you were gay and needed protection it would be extremely unusual for sexuality to change soon after gaining more permanent status. As an adult living in a country where it is not safe to be gay many often try to be in heteronormative relationships...
