🎉We are overjoyed for our client whose appeal of the loss of PR status for not meeting the PR residency obligation was allowed!
📌The appellant had been away from Canada for a number of years due to family circumstances, and at the time of his PR Travel Document application on Humanitarian and Compassionate Grounds, he had spent 0 days in Canada during the relevant period.
📌His PRTD application was refused, and we appealed the decision. If he did not appeal, his PR status would have been lost and he would be unable to return to Canada, possibly forever.
📌In our appeal we addressed the factors to be considered on humanitarian and compassionate grounds, including
✔️ The best interest of a child impacted by the decision, including the appellant's children both inside and outside Canada
✔️ The hardship that would be faced by the Canadians impacted by the decision
✔️ The hardship to the appellant himself if he lost PR
✔️ The country conditions in the appellant's home country
✔️Factors preventing the appellant from returning to Canada which were beyond his control
📚This case is a powerful reminder that overcoming immigration challenges is possible with the right strategy while presenting the details with honesty.
💯The right legal strategy can make all the difference, and appeal hearings should not be DIY to have the best chance of approval.
📩 If you have received a refusal, contact us to discuss your options.
