Thank you so much for lifting my spirits. Keep up the good work. Cheers!

You're very welcome. I hope so too! I'm still waiting for my DM, it's been almost 17 months so far but there's nothing I can do but wait. I'll update you all if I get any good news. I'm really hoping to hear something at the 1.5 years mark.

You're absolutely right Samy! And congrats on finally getting your appointment!

You’re right it’s quite rare but I also wouldn’t be shocked if they were refugees. I happen to personally know a few Syrian refugees who got their applications processed in 8 months. A lot of factors factor in. Also, which officers handle your case does matter. Please correct me if I’m wrong...

This is indeed a bit of a dilemma. First of, I'm sorry for your loss and may their soul rest in piece. Your wife can indeed apply for a TRV online while in Saudi Arabia, whether she will get approved for one is another story. I believe it might be challenging to get approved for one. The...

It should not affect your PR application process in anyway. All Protected Persons Application for Permanent Residence are processed at the same centre. Make sure to update your new address with IRCC. Cheers!

Hi zoozi77, Congrats on becoming a permanent resident! If your home country passport is still valid then it won't be returned as long as you have your RTD with you, the reason behind that is that you can't have your home country's passport and your RTD both being valid at the same time. Once it...

Hi there! I'm not really sure as I haven't through this circumstance but I'll share with you what I know. I've heard of people who crossed illegally being refused a US visa just for the fact that they crossed illegally. I've also heard of people who crossed illegally and they were still able to...

If I was in your place I would give it a try, worst case scenario is that she'll get a refusal. I've seen a few instances where family members of refugees are able to obtain a visitor or even a study visa. Just try to prove to immigration on your application that she has something to return to...

I think there should be no issue in the withdrawal of your protected person protection as you have landed as a spouse. You should probably contact an attorney to double check on the procedure and to make sure you follow the steps correctly. Cheers!

if they gave you a date on the phone then that's probably your hearing date. Just call them again and double check the date and time with them.

Hi Alberto, The permanent resident travel document is for permanent residents who don't have their permanent cards with them when outside of Canada (either they lost it or forgot it in Canada). So, the Canadian embassy in the country they are at will issue them a permanent resident travel...

I'm not really sure maybe someone who has been through this process can help you more. All I know is that if you have to leave urgently and can't wait anymore, you can get a passport from your embassy and go straight to the airport and leave.

Yes it's standard procedure when your the IRB member (a.k.a the judge on your case) is preparing for your case.

There's a bit of a process you need to go through with CBSA and they'll need to come with you to the airport to make sure you have left. But if you really need to leave urgently right now, then just apply for an urgent passport from you country of citizenship's embassy and leave. If you want you...

Hi there! Ask your friend to be careful when dealing with such things before her citizenship as it might affect her citizenship application if she did something she wasn't supposed to. Firstly, if your friend applied for her permanent residence under the protected person / refugee category then...

Hi Misoup, I hope all is well. To be honest you are very lucky to get to choose where you want to stay (either Canada or the US). Have you already applied for a PR? If yes then when? If it was around the end of 2017, then IRCC are finalizing these application right now. I won't tell you that...

Of course you should include it. Make sure all the information your include is accurate as any discrepancies might delay your application and might lead to a criminal proceeding (misrepresentation) by the federal government in the future. Also, I would advise you to make sure that your wife...

You don't need to apologize for that, thank you for your intervention! You're totally right. It's also because you're still a protected person in Canada, even though you got your PR through another program you're still entitled for a travel document as a protected person. For the sake of making...

It depends on your status in Canada. If you have not been accepted as a "Convention Refugee" or as a "person in need of protection" then there is no way you can get a refugee travel document. But, if you somehow managed to get a PR through some other program and can't apply for a passport from...
