Do you need help moving to Canada? If you want to bring your family members to Canada, apply for refugee status, or a visa denial, you need to know the rules and process for immigration to Canada. This complete guide will shed light on your concerns and immigration law FAQs.
Can I sponsor my siblings to Canada?
According to Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada’s (IRCC) yearly immigration levels plan, family sponsorship is one of the main ways people come to Canada.
As per the new immigration rules, you can’t bring your siblings to Canada. Other family sponsorship schemes are also available, like sponsoring a spouse, common-law partner, or dependent children.
Can I sponsor my husband if his visitor visa expires and he’s still currently in Canada?
If your husband’s visitor visa has expired and he is currently in Canada, you can sponsor your husband to Canada. It means that you are allowed to stay in Canada until and unless your husband’s sponsorship application is processed, even if his visitor visa has expired, provided he meets the eligibility criteria for sponsorship.
How long does it take for applications to process?
The application process may depend on the type of application and the current workload of immigration authorities. You can also check the estimated processing times on the Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website for specific categories.
Can I sponsor my fiancé?
Through the Family Class sponsorship program, you can sponsor your fiancé for immigration to Canada. However, to be eligible, you must fulfill specific standards and present evidence that you are in a genuine relationship.
My student visa is rejected, can I appeal it?
If you find that the decision to reject your student visa needs to be corrected, you can appeal the student visa rejection. You must carefully review the rejection letter you received from the immigration authorities, as it contains information on the appeals process. Get legal assistance from an immigration lawyer who is experienced in visa appeals. It can be beneficial for you to make the process smooth and increase your chance of success.

Can I judicial review my negative PRRA application?
If you have applied to a pre-removal risk assessment and the results are negative, you can seek judicial review through the Federal Court of Canada. The decision will be reviewed by a court to determine whether or not there was an error. It is possible to review the decision-making process to identify any legal flaws through judicial review.
I got a negative decision for my refugee case, what do I do now?
If your refugee status claim is rejected, you must apply for a judicial review within fifteen days of receiving the notice of decision. If this procedure is complex, you should hire a lawyer because only one can represent you at the Federal Court of Canada.
I have refugee status in France, can I still apply for refugee status in Canada?
You will no longer be able to submit an application for refugee status in Canada if you have been granted citizenship in another country as a refugee because having refugee status in another country may impact your eligibility and the evaluation of your claim by the Canadian government.
My family is in Afghanistan, can I sponsor them privately through the group of five?
Through the Group of Five sponsorship program, you can privately sponsor family members in Afghanistan if you meet the requirements and have the backing of other Canadian citizens or permanent residents. A group of five programs comprises at least five Canadian citizens or permanent residents who have agreed to help a refugee outside Canada. To make the funding process go smoothly, it’s best to get help from an immigration lawyer.
