Question: Will my family's Refugee application affect my status?

Hello,

I am a recent PR in Canada. My mom has a valid visitor visa; she applied back when I had a work permit, and my info was provided in her file and I provided the invitation letter.

Now, my brother is also applying to visit me, and I am providing an invitation letter, and they're also requesting my PR copy. In the invitation letter, we state that he will not overstay, etc.

However, my family is actually planning to apply as Refugees once they enter Canada. My question is, will this affect my citizenship application in the future? I am kinda afraid that we provided all my info on their files, I am not sure if this means that I am really responsible. If it will affect it, I would rather not provide assurance that my brother will return, etc

Any insights are appreciated. Thanks!

No impact to your status however you may not be able to successfully invite family members in the future.

I would strongly suggest you meet with a Canadian immigration lawyer about the basis for their claims before submitting them. If their claims are denied visiting you in the future will become extremely difficult so will travel or temporary stays in many countries.

So you’ve provided invitations to everyone knowing they are planning to claim asylum ?

And you posted the same question last year

It is not something that will happen for sure, and that's why I need to understand the effects before something like this happens. My mom has a visit visa based on my invitation, and she visited Canada and left two times. Now they're thinking of coming with my brother and applying for Asylum; they asked for an invitation letter for my brother. I am seeking advice on whether it will affect me or not. If it will, I would either not provide the letter or ask them not to apply and just come to visit.

I am also planning to ask an immigration lawyer about this, but I also wanted to hear from people's experiences.

Which country is sooo bad that they need to flee from?
