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

    Demand where? In front of whom? local MPs are supposedly our contact to government. But Immigration is a federal matter. IRCC can easily dismiss my case stating there is nothing stopping my mother to go back, and apply for another super visa. The reviewing officer can reject the 2nd super visa...

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

    Hi @Kate_20 @canuck78 I appreciate your responses. I am emotionally with you that my tax dollars should rather benefit my family than family reunification of refugees elsewhere. However, I really don't have a say in public policy barring election or standing in one with my own manifesto. Sure...

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

    Thanks @canuck78 for your objective outlook. I agree that PR isn't guaranteed and Canada has Supervisa and PGP in place for family reunification. However, PGP hasn't opened since 2020. I still blame myself for not entering the pool when it was open in 2020 (I was eligible, but I made an error...

    August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    I got my certificate in 1 week. I had emailed the oath undertaking (whatever it's called) the very minute we were off camera to the SCR office on Friday. By next Friday we had the certificate in our mailbox. So even though they say 2-4 weeks sometimes it can come early as well
