Some Gnanapragasam and Charter Challenges Follow-up: While it was just posted to the Federal Court website yesterday, and so far is still not showing up at CanII, Justice Henry S. Brown's decision/ruling itself is dated May 2, 2024. It is currently available here...

Another day, another decision in cessation cases. @alexmathew244 -- it appears that you have been especially interested in the the matter of Jude Upali Gnanapragasam and Al. v. Canada (MCI), Court File No.: IMM-8432-22 [Gnanapragasam], which raised Charter based Constitutional challenges to...

Apart from the macabre . . . No need to make much of this, but to be clear I am NOT the source for references to cessation of refugee status as "automatically" terminating PR status. And I otherwise doubt the term "automatic," as used in this context, has much significance, let alone any legal...

Congratulations @Blind Dolphin Meanwhile . . . there appears to be a near steady stream of cessation decisions these days. Another one filed just yesterday: Alvarez v. Canada, 2024 FC 770, https://canlii.ca/t/k4qqb . . . or find here...

In addition to not being an expert, I have been less and less engaged in FAQ related discussions. I am confident there are many others here who are keeping up better with basic how-to-apply questions. (These days I am generally focused on a few more complex issues that tend to involve applying...

There is NO guaranteed approach to avoid non-routine processing, be that Secondary Review or other procedures that can result in additional processing and delays getting a new PR card. No, no buffer is "necessary" to avoid non-routine processing. A PR card application is NOT like making an...

It appears you intend to direct your query to someone else. I was not involved in any of the scenarios discussed. Moreover, this is an old thread, and there are questions asked by multiple members in regards to various situations. Maybe start a new topic and be specific about what question...

For refugees, including refugees with PR status in Canada, travel to the home country poses more than a risk of losing status in Canada. Such travel creates a PRESUMPTION of reavailment of home country protection, and reavailment is grounds for cessation of protected person status. If there is a...

Note: I will refer to "misrepresentation" as constituting any false representation, fraud, or knowingly concealing material circumstances. Obviously, there will be risks involved traveling to somewhere your safety could be in danger. If your concern is specifically about the risk that your...

As I have observed elsewhere, if the applicant is short of meeting the physical presence requirement as of the date the application for citizenship is made, there is no chance (absent someone making a big mistake) that application will lead to citizenship. It must be denied. Unless the...

A qualified Canadian immigration lawyer is a far, far better source of information than this forum. Moreover, a lawyer can offer personal advice, that is advice particular to you and your situation rather than general suggestions. Any personal advice offered here should be approached with much...

Just keeping up . . . . . . Veerasingam v. Canada, 2024 FC 639, https://canlii.ca/t/k499r is another cessation decision published late last month upholding a cessation determination . . . . . . Wang v. Canada, 2024 FC 632, https://canlii.ca/t/k48ft in contrast sets aside the RPD's cessation...

More process-oriented context . . . at the risk of rabbit-hole ruminations . . . oh so weedy . . . As I noted, I intend to further discuss the "business trip" aspect in...

The reference to Steven Meurrens is much appreciated totally apart from the link being a source that concurs in what I have been rather emphatic about in this forum for many years now, that the label "business trip" is not what matters; as I said in this very thread three years ago, above: The...

Wallowing into the weeds . . . "Why are the consent boxes even part of a PR Card renewal?" Without trying to interpret why you ask this question: Why would 'why' matter? Or, How would 'why' matter? Among other variations of asking (humorous gibes included, even slippery ones): does the...

There is nothing new at CanLII re the constitutional challenge . . . and I have not seen any reporting or decision in regards to the hearing scheduled for early April. Remember that in regards to the Gnanapragasam case itself (last published decision in that case is here: Gnanapragasam v...

Of course the first order of business, the first step in doing the homework needed to make a PR TD application relying on H&C relief for a breach of the RO, is the guide for making a PR TD application and the appendix discussing the Residency Obligation, which is here...

"What do you think I should do in my case?" Even if you shared many, many more facts about yourself, your immigration history, details about your work and address history, NO ONE in a forum like this can offer anything close to reliable personal advice about what YOU should do. An immigration...

What @scylla said . . . . . . or, stated somewhat differently: In this case, the Canada v. Sardar, 2024 FC 647, https://canlii.ca/t/k4b1b case, the PR-refugee won the case before the RPD, where the government's application for cessation was denied. That is, this refugee got a NO-cessation...

Update appreciated. What appears to have been a decision to not pursue cessation despite a trip to the home country is a good sign that the Canadian government is approaching the cessation issue deliberatively, looking at the particular circumstances and reasons for the trip in the individual...
