That is correct and based on that, you should answer “NO” to the citizenship question.

I am not a professional, but as you can see I have dealt with this “to be or not to be” a removal or departure order. If a CBS or IRCC officer did not reach out to you personally about leaving Canada, then you did not have a removal order nor have you been asked to leave Canada. From what you...

No, there is no stamp.

Well, the lawyer did apply for judicial review, as there are quite a few mistakes that the IRCC officer made. He has high hopes for a settlement. But in the eventuality that everything goes wrong I would still have the 6 moths of visitor status ( if I will be able to get back inside Canada ) in...

My WP restoration application is indeed a complete mess and the I must admit that my WP restoration application is indeed a complete mess and sometimes I am surprised too, but most of it it’s “thanks” to my fantastic consultant. I also must assume that you are referring to the fact that the...

I do have another question: if leaving Canada while on implied status ( work permit restoration in progress ) will my application be automatically refused? Or does it mean that I have lost my status? The 2 lawyers I have reached out to have completely different opinions, so I can’t help but...

Yes, I am aware of the fact that the ETA does not guarantee entry. I have not been in Canada without status, I have always been on a valid work permit or in the process of restoration ( time in which I am allowed to remain inside Canada). Now, my question would be, what would you recommend? If...

Yes, I am aware of that. But at the same the it’s not like I have any other option. Considering the judicial review will take more than 6 months, the only option to avoid getting a departure order is to comply with the voluntary departure, within the 6 months of visitor status. I have not left...

Hello again! I thought I should update the procedure here, maybe someone is going through the same situation and this could help. I did get a second opinion from another immigration lawyer and the conclusions would be as follows: - the voluntary departure is a "grey area". It is considered...

Yes, I know that now. I have learned that the hard way, unfortunately.

I have already checked and read everything related, including the thread you have mentioned. I am currently in this situation because I have trusted completely and blindly my previous consultant. That is why I am now researching everything that I can and will get a second opinion, even a third...

Hopefully the second lawyer will be able to provide more information. Now, a question comes to my mind: if I have 90 days to apply for restoration or change of status, that would also be the time period that I have to “peacefully” comply with the VD, correct? Just an assumption of corse!

Yes, it does matter as I would like to know how much time I have before I must leave Canada “peacefully”. In the last 4 years I have accumulated assets, that of course have to be sold or taken care off. I have my parents that would have to move out and that would have to be taken care off, as...

I am still confused, as the terminology and the form numbers do not match. I wish I could find more specific information about this exact Voluntary departure - confirmation. More precisely, how long does it take before it becomes enforced ( if that would be the case ). It does not have a date or...

Where does it say that I have 30 days to leave Canada if a voluntary departure was issued? It does not mention anything about this on the form or on any other IRCC documents. Doesn’t that apply only for a removal order? My main interest is to understand the difference between a voluntary...

Hello! I have applied and been refused a work permit. The reason given was: You are found inadmissible to Canada under paragraph 41(a) of the IRPA: through an act or omission which contravenes, directly or indirectly, a provision of this Act I have also been issued a Voluntary Departure -...

Thank you!

Yes, a restoration application was also submitted within the 90 days limit. I wanted also to thank you for the time spent in answering my questions and concerns! I am not trying to understand if I would be eligible to apply for PR ( from outside of Canada of course ), but my ranking score is...

An "application to change conditions, extend my stay or remain in Canada as a worker" was submitted on december 12 2022. My previous status in Canada was temporary worker ( valid work permit ). Do you recommend or know a good lawyer in Vancouver area? Or anywhere at this point?

The online application for the work permit restoration was submitted on December 12, so it was still on time for the 90 days.
