FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Processing times vary greatly depending on the complexity of your case and the current backlog at the IRCC. While some applications may be processed within a year, others could take longer.
While meeting the outlined criteria is essential, approval is not guaranteed. The IRCC reviews all applications on a case-by-case basis, considering the unique details and evidence provided.
Several factors may influence the IRCC’s decision, including:
- Family ties in Canada
- The best interests of a child: Particular attention is given to any child directly affected by the application.
- Health considerations: A serious medical condition impacting the applicant or their dependents may strengthen a case.
- Hardship: Applicants must demonstrate how the denial of their request would lead to significant hardship.
