    You'll need to declare the overstay in your application to Canada. Ideally you would remain in your home country for s while and reestablish ties before applying to Canada. Just make sure you declare the overstay. You don't want to end up with a ban from Canada. Good luck.

    Time line for Permanent Residence application for Refugees

    Not really true. We have a number of individuals on this forum who have successfully pursued mandamus to force IRCC to make a decision in their case where their case has taken an unreasonably long period of time. Immigration is not above a writ of mandamus. Of course it's a personal decision...
