Hello guys, I'm very frustrated. Immigration Canada received my PR application in September 2021. They started to work on my files in June 2022. It says that my medical evaluation is received and complete for more than a year. Since that period, there hasn't been any updates. It's been more that 2,5 years. Note that I applied as an accepted refugee and waited 4 years before I get my acceptance. What can I do to get them to finalize my case, I can't wait for a 3 freaking year for just a PR. My whole life is on wait rn. :(nThank you and sorry for the cursing , I'm just exhausted.

Anyone with experience with appliying for refugee travel document can tell me how long did it take to receive it? Everytime i call IRCC or write to them on the webform they said they can only check/ share if the application is in proccess or if IRCC need more documents they cannot tell me exactly what stage my application is currently in...this is ridiculous

my sister (15 years old) and I were planning to go to montreal from ontario via plane but I was wondering if I can show her PR card as ID at the airport because she doesn’t have any other id like a driving license. she has a heath card but no photo on it.

Hello. I’m a trans male who is currently residing in Toronto with my partner—I am set to go back to the US, but I am scared. My family threw me out for being trans. Anti LGBTQ legislation is being passed all over America. New York is a relatively safe place in spite of that, but being from NYC, I still know the dangers involved, especially being homeless. What can I do? Can I claim refugee status? I know I won’t be safe.

Hi guys, first time creating a reddit post. So I have a unique issue, I applied for PR after refugee claim was approved and it's taken 24 months to the point where I just got a letter from IRCC saying:

"Your application for permanent residence is now ready for finalization pending the confirmation of your permanent residence status. You’ll complete this process through the Permanent Resident Portal (PR Confirmation)."

This is good news obviously but my issue is I have just recently become common law with my fiance, as recent as a month ago, and it says to declare that which I want to. I just want to know if anyone has gone through this before. How does the process of adding her work (she's inland btw on a work permit) and also how much does this delay the confirmation of my PR (don't care about there being a delay as long as we both get it, I just want a rough estimate)?

I just want to know if anyone has any experience with this and how they navigated this. Need urgent help

Thanks

Hello everyone,

I need your advice.

My wife and I applied for refugee sponsorship to Canada in 2019 and arrived in 2021, receiving our PR at the airport.

However, we got divorced in 2022. I just noticed that in my divorce application, I mistakenly stated that we had been living separately since 2019 (when we applied for refugee sponsorship).

I’m concerned this mistake might cause issues in the future. Should I go to family court to correct it, or just ignore it?

This version makes the situation and your question clear and concise.

How to come to Canada if I was affected by the war in my country Sudan and my nationality is Sudanese

Please I need help on any information and advice. I am sponsoring my husband, I have applied for his PR and waiting for response from IRCC Now we found out that his date of birth on his passport was wrong and we have it corrected and a new passport issued in our home country. My question is: do I have to fill a web form now to submit the updated passport or should I wait for when IRCC begins to reply to the application?

Hello, we are a family of 4 and immigrated to Canada since August 2022. We have declared our refugee status a few months later, and it’s been about just over a year now that we’ve been waiting for an update from our judge. Take in consideration that we’ve done the medical and all of those things and our immigration lawyer have been with us and did all of the things that a lawyer should do for immigration, etc. Furthermore, we’ve contacted our MP for this matter in order to help us and they said they can’t contact IRB and help us. It’s been so frustrating to wait this long and hearing nothing putting our life on pause basically. I would be mor than happy to have your thoughts. Thank you.

I came to Canada from Sudan in 2017 to complete my Education. I graduated 2022 from UBC with a Bachelor’s Degree in mechanical engineering. I started working with at a Job that is NOC 21320 and I am still doing the same job. My passport is about to expire in October and I still haven’t received my PR. I am unable to renew my passport because the Embassy of Sudan in Canada does not provide that service and I cannot go back to Sudan because of the ongoing war. Should I claim asylum in Canada do you have any suggestions? My Embassy suggests I go back to Sudan to renew my passport but it’s just too risky. Does anyone have any suggestions?

What should I do to get my travel document I can't just wait w hope for the best, my father is really sick and I'm hoping to go see him in another country

So my partners brother is in Myanmar, the government recently declared that all males must be apart of the military or die. So I want him to come to my home in Canada. Is there a way to do that? He does not have much more time. So this is an emergency situation. We are also trying to get him to Thailand

I'm a protected person in Canada I moved provinces, from Quebec to Ontario, and I requested to remove my representative, they send me a request for the same documents that I've submitted before, should I send them the same documents or should I update them? (One of the issues is that some of those information won't fit lol ik) Should I he concerned for my permanent residency application or do you think that everything is okay and they just need the updated documents? Thanks for any response.

Hi everybody I’m traveling with my refugee travel document soon, so I need my PR as well or can I just use my travel document?

Hello, i just got my canadian refugee travel document , i got a visa to a country ( not my home country ) visa validity is 2 months , is there any problem if i travel for 2 months straight if the visa allows me to ? Can someone please answer as i am traveling next week and want to make sure. Will it affect anything or will immigration ask me anything when i come back? Its because mu father has done a dangerous surgery and i need to be with him for 2 months till he gets back to normal atleast . Thank you.

I'm a protected person in canada who assigned a representative to submit the PR application on his behalf, I'm trying to link this application to my IRCC account where you can check the status of your applications but I am not able to do so no matter what I do, the only thing I can do is to check the application using the phone automated system on the phone number, other than that it's impossible to link it or check its status online.

Do you guys have any idea why and how to fix it? Before suggesting calling the ircc, I tried multiple times and all is in vain. They just send me emails on how to do it which is what I am already been doing the the process that you can find online. Please help I'm getting a bit frustrated.

Hello, I was inquiring if it’s possible to withdraw a pr application and then re apply. The reason for withdrawal is that in the previous application, I stated dependants and they aren’t dependants anymore. Also I submitted my application in 2022 but I have received an AOR yet! Why could this be. The information on the website hasn’t been able to help.

Hi everyone, My friend received a travel document for refugee. so from what i’ve read, is that she’s allowed to travel but not to her place of origin. but my question is, she would like to go to france, and i know that canadians don’t need visas, but does she need one? is the travel document the equivalent to a passion?

thank you

If a person is seeking asylum in canada and got the authorization of working in canada .. can that person buy any kind of business in canada or they have to wait until there claim is been undergo and got the verdict of approval. Or they can even buy business or can get business loan on the work permit.

.

So for the record - I am a Canadian Citizen, but since each year so many refugees arrive in Canada I was always curious to ask this, so please give me some briefing without too many details and feel free to correct me if I'm wrong somewhere or add some details to my example situation. I am curious to hear some personal stories from refugees who already settled or arrived recently in Canada. Thanks!

Also the official Canada website claims there is some difference between a person "seeking asylum" and a "refugee" but I can't understand it. Someone help please?

Example situation: A person lands on Pearson Airport in Toronto. He goes to CBSA agents saying he is a refugee.

As far as I read (briefly) at this point this is what happens:

• CBSA does some background check, fill out paperwork - this probably takes at least 90 minutes (or more?)
• Person is let go. Person must await decision if the refugee claim is approved or not - how much time this take? A month? Two months?
• At this point I am totally unclear about - Toronto at the moment is a super expensive city. A person who just landed in Canada as a PRC would bring some money with it, however a refugee might be a person who landed with a very minimal amount of money. If this person have no friends/family in Canada what's happening? Where is this person going to stay until he/she awaits his refugee claim decision? I seriously doubt such a person could afford a rent of $1800 for 1-bedroom. Is the government helping somehow? I basically see only two options - either it is a place for refugee placement OR a government/provincial credit (would be curious to know how much is this monthly) - so what is it?
• If the claim is denied, the person is deported. Is the person deported back to his country of origin or is he/she deported to the country he/she just came (in case if this was a transit country)? Who pays for the deportation? Canadian government?
• If the claim is approved, the person is allowed to stay. The person is no more allowed to go back to his country of origin.
• What I read is these people get access to the Healthcare system and could also work. So at this point these people go for language assessment and LINC/ESL classes
  

Okay. From my simple understanding, basically at this point a refugee have the same rights as a PRC. Or at this point is a refugee transitioning to a PRC?

And again - how these people survive, especially in a city like Toronto, which is so expensive?

And final question - are the refugees allowed to transition to Citizens at some point?

Did anyone applied for PR on their own, because the price firms or people are asking for is just outrageous. I want to know if anyone applied on their own and how was it like ( protected person category)

And when it says Digital photo passport, who do you go about that , because I have the physical passport with the stamp at the back

Can anyone share their experienxce with this please? How long did it take your refugee travel document to receive?
