IRCC REP-2025-0248

Question: What are the potential consequences if someone receives their eCOPR while they are temporarily outside of Canada, if they had already declared their presence in Canada through the PR confirmation portal before leaving?

Answer: For IRCC to confirm a client’s PR status (virtually land) through the PR Portal, the client must be in Canada. Clients whose PR status was confirmed while they were outside of Canada became PRs in error, as these clients were not in Canada at the time that their PR status was confirmed online. As there is no provision in the IRPA or the IRPR authorizing IRCC to revert PR status that was granted through the error of IRCC, these applicants should retain their PR status.

Few areas have felt the blow more deeply than hospitality and tourism education. Tourism Industry Association of Ontario (TIAO) estimates Ontario could see 20K fewer international students in workplaces this year, exacerbating an existing labour shortage.

43 years ago today, the Canadian #Charter of Rights and Freedoms came into force.

The Charter has protected Canadians, and while the conservatives may want to disregard it, we will continue to recognize its importance and the rights and freedoms it enshrines.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%.
While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired.
Let's learn more.

The Government of Canada announced robust countermeasures in response to the unreasonable and unjustified tariffs imposed by the U.S. on Canadian goods. These measures aim to protect Canadian consumers, businesses, and workers.
