[Missfy]

Does anyone know what questions CBSA normally ask when you are invited for an interview based on a decision made on your PRRA? And also were you sent a form to fill before attending your interview?

Please people that have had this experience can you respond. Thank you

Not sure how this is relevant. Not a new issue but has gotten worse and applies to the most skilled immigrants which is a different pool of applicants versus H&C.

H&C applicants pool contain all type of applicants including skilled workers. It does not only contain parents or grand parents.

This isn’t referring to in Canada H&C applicants.

Didn’t say there were no skilled workers in the H&C pool. The skilled professionals leaving Canada tend to be the highly educated & high earners. They do not make-up a large percentage of the H&C pool because most would have had other pathways to PR or have other opportunities abroad if they can’t secure PR. Also you still need H&C reasons to secure PR and the inability to secure PR via other streams and even establishment in Canada these days are not considered H&C reasons. Have attached a recent JR for an H&C refusal.

The case you referred above was clearly a fake case lol. IRCC officer did good job (my opinion only, and I do have right to be wrong lol). Even with such fake arguments and case, its almost 8 years since they are in Canada and still not clear how many years IRCC needs to deport them. They will find another way to stay, I assume.

Likely a fake case of asylum but genuine H&C. These cases would have had a very good chance of securing H&C just a few years ago. Also a lot of very similar cases have applied for H&C. What other way to secure PR is left? They are also out of status. It is going to make it much harder to remain in Canada now and Canada has stepped up removals. For their child’s sake it makes much sense to return home. Remaining would close a lot of opportunities for their child longterm.
