#220 - Inside IRCC: Answers to Representatives’ Emails #2

We break down several IRCC e-mail responses to representatives that answer questions by immigration lawyers and consultants.

Questions include:

Can foreign remote work performed while living in Canada count toward Express Entry?

Does someone who applies for a new work permit before their Post-Graduation Work Permit expires have maintained status?

In Start-Up Visa applications, do all essential applicants have to pass the R10 completeness check?

What happens if an applicant dies while their immigration application is still being processed?

We also analyze one of the biggest immigration stories of the FIFA World Cup: Canada's refusal to admit a Ghana national team player. We discuss why the visa was refused, the role of alleged misrepresentation and criminal inadmissibility, Temporary Resident Permits, and why the Federal Court refused to grant an emergency injunction allowing the player to enter Canada.

Finally, we answer questions from our live audience, including:

Has Canada quietly delayed its target for reducing the temporary resident population?

Are Iranian security screening delays likely to improve?

What's happening with the Caregiver Program?

Should applicants challenge Express Entry refusals involving concurrent foreign work experience?

Why are so many immigration files experiencing lengthy processing delays?
