I remember reading FC case that involved misrep due to forgery of the entry stamps hand written dates.

Following the logic of the passport stamping requirement, do WP-holders require stamps as well then? What about inland WP extensions where CBSA is not involved at all? I recall the distinction between a visa and a status document and the purpose of either one. So VR is not a status document all of a sudden? More questions than answers.

Hello Steven, i think you guys should do a 2025 Express entry prediction, potential change of the government what does that mean…

People like to talk to hear themselves. There will never be an annexation of Canada unless it is far into the future and we no longer recognize borders, possibly a hundred years or more (??) Americans still have a better life than most of the free world. I wouldn't move anywhere that the leader is so far left. Living costs, taxes, and social limitations would stop most rational people. If they want that, then moving to California may be better.

These people helped kill Canada by supporting mass immigration from dissimilar cultures.

Douglas Judson is an absolute cancer to society. He abuses the system to get what he wants and discriminates against anyone who doesn’t believe in his views. He literally threatened to take peoples houses, cars, toys and money away for simply not supporting LGBTQ. What he’s doing to the town of Emo is only hurting the LQBTQ community. He’s only causing the public to resent them even more and support them less. I called him out on Facebook a couple days ago for abusing the system and he responded with “CALL A WAAAMBULANCE”. What an unprofessional POS

Where’s #135?

Laughable

Great interview, I learned a lot

I love the podcast. You should promote it more in CAPIC and all CPD providers.

Such a great information. Thank you for making this 🌟

One thing you didn't talk about is the public opinion on Immigration. Since last year a large majority of Canadians want fewer immigrants, the government just realized this and are pulling back. They are now just focusing on industries they think need more workers. If the public opinion doesn't change, we will see even more cuts.

The problem with dropping STEM is that it didn't just include Tech. It also included engineers, architects and such that we need for construction. They could have just dropped the NOC codes that weren't in high demand and fine tuned it but that requires then to not to be incompetent. It's the same with healthcare. There's a bunch of NOC codes in there are susceptible to fraud (like pharmacy assistants that don't require a pharmacy background, "miscellaneous duties" kind of NOC codes). They need to be dropped.

The francophone targets don't even make sense. What's the point of bringing in people who can't even clear 450 in the CRS system or sometimes even 400 (i.e., 50+ points someone eligible CEC) ? It's purely poilitical and doesn't seerve anyone any good. What's someone who has intermediate level french and no canadian connection (no work exp, degree etc) supposed to be doing in Vancouver or Calgary? They will eventually just be forced to do low skilled work (probably drive an Uber) and then eventually make their way to get Quebec to get a decent job. It would have made more sense if they considered bilingualism which is an actual skill and requires some effort, and would at least set them up to get some kind of job in anglo-canada.

I agree about everything except your rant about Francophone draws. Also Deana said you need clb 5 to qualify which is wrong its clb 7.

Has Mark Miller ever thought about a mass flood of immigrants coming to the canadian border after Trump starts to round up the flood that came to USA. Has Mark Miller even dared to think of that?? Or is he asleep on the job?

At the time I didn't agree with your stance on Immigration, but boy were you right. You had probably the best run immigration system in Canada, ever. Thank you so much for your service to this country.

also there is a missing point about immigrants that its a longterm investment that pays off after 3-5+ years in terms of income basis of immigrants vs citizens

I dont agree with that gdp per capita is indicative of anything , take Ireland for example.

Very insightful episode! Thank you, Deanna and Steven

Hi Steven/Team, 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗲𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗱 𝗜𝗧𝗔 𝗶𝗻 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰 (𝗔𝗢𝗥 - 𝗔𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗹 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰), 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗯𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗣𝗥 𝗶𝗻 𝗦𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟰. Since January 2024, I’ve been living with my partner (dating since September 2023) but didn’t declare this in my PR application as we hadn’t reached the 1-year cohabitation/common-law mark. We are still unmarried. 𝐐𝟏. Was not declaring the relationship an issue, given we weren’t legally common-law at the time of the application? What should have been done? 𝐐𝟐. If I receive a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL), what’s the best course of action? Thank you!

Hi Steven, love the podcast and I have been following your Twitter for quite some time. Your podcast left me with some questions. About 10 years ago, when I was a minor, I was given a 221(g) and approved a few days later with the requested documents. Since then, my understanding was always that I was approved. So for all my applications with IRCC, I answered "No" and was approved for all of them. I have submitted my PR application for a few months now. For this application, I also answered "No" and disclosed in my LOE that this happened but my belief was that it's not a refusal. In this case, should I raise a CSE to change my question to "Yes" and disclose it again through the webform? If you can give me some pointers, that would be great. If not, still love the podcast and it has given me a lot of valuable information along the way.

Amazing episode. Thank you Steven, Siavash, amd Deanna.

Miss you Amanda, long time no see

I read the Abdool decision (2024 FC 1172) as well as your discussion here and the discussion on Will Tao’s twitter thread. From my perspective, the judge’s decision turns on the line Abdool at para 39 “In the case before me, the Applicant’s evidence suggests that the misrepresentation was not innocent. The transcript of the questioning indicates that the Applicant knew he could not voluntarily remain in the US and that US customs officials found him inadmissible for misrepresentations. “ The online discussion is silent on this aspect of the case. To Deanna’s point that a US refusal is already available to IRCC and would not alter the process, the US questioning transcript may not be available unless it is requested for a specific reason. Had US customs not accused Abdool of misrepresentation or had the questioning transcript not been available I believe this case could have turned out differently

Great interview! I've sent this link out many times. Any idea if there is a litigator in Manitoba who does this type of work?

What a great episode! I loved the victimhood vs. empowerment comparison when it comes to these applications. I loved this episode and hearing the thoughts of these great advocates for TFWs in Canada (me being one myself). Thank you!

Is there any template for applicants' records available?

Excellent interview.

Hi Thank you for your useful and perfect video. I have one question. Now what is the best way for getting visa in Canada? Tourist visa or study visa when your first relative lives in CANADA. Thanks a lot.

Love these

Promo-SM 💯

Such a great discussion raising so many issues. It's hard to know where to start with what is most urgent. In many ways the decision is shocking and most worrying. Chilling as Deanna mentions. As Steven says it's like Minority Report in real life!

Very interesting! This is quite different from your usual discussions. BTW - Deanna's question at 25:00 was amazing. So detailed and clear! This area of law seems to be quite interesting (but I'll stay away from it. LOL)

Excellent conversation! I first heard this as a podcast and then came here to see the video. I will say that it's easier to take it in as a video as you can see the faces and easily see who is speaking.
