Recommendation for Appeal for PRTD

[skumar100]

My in-laws applied for PR TD under compassionate and humanitarian grounds in India. Their applications were rejected and they would like to appeal in Vancouver (BC being their last province where they lived).

Do you recommend engaging a lawyer or ICCRC (Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council) member for the appeal process? Or if I can represent them? If not, could you suggest their contact details?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe share what reasons were given for the rejection for anyone to make any recommendation

You/they can file the appeal. It will take a while for them to set a review date. You can decide if you want to employ a lawyer during that time. If they haven’t been in Canada in the previous 365 days, they are not entitled to a PRTD to return for the appeal, so they will need some sort of representation.

Based on your previous posts, your parents have been outside of Canada since 2013. If that's the case, then as explained above, they won't be granted a PRTD to attend the hearing and will have to appeal from outside of Canada and wait for the results of the appeal from outside of Canada. Recommend they hire a lawyer to represent them given they won't be able to attend in person.

There is no chance of appeal in my opinion. Your parents basically wouldn't live in Canada because their children were working elsewhere. That was personal choice. Best bet would be to relinquish PR and try to sponsor them again. Have either of the sibling been in Canada for the past 3-4 years and make LICO in Canadian dollars for that period of time.

Wanted to also mention that things like longterm care will require that you pay out of pocket because your parents don't receive a Canadian pension. People seem unaware that they will have to factor in that cost if their parents get too sick and can no longer live at home.
