Professional Fairness Letter
Professional Fairness Letter
Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) does have a commitment to procedural fairness. When they identify potential issues with an application, they are obligated to give applicants a chance to respond and provide further information or clarification. This final opportunity can be crucial for applicants to address any concerns and avoid a refusal. If you ever find yourself in this situation, it's important to respond promptly and thoroughly to any requests from IRCC to ensure your application is as strong as possible.
It’s crucial for applicants to understand how important it is to address these letters properly. Here’s a quick summary to reiterate the key points:
Notification of Concern: The PFL informs you of specific issues with your application.
Opportunity for Response: You get a fair chance to respond to these concerns.
Details of Concerns: The letter outlines exactly what the problems are.
Time Frame for Response: You must reply within a specified deadline.
Potential Outcomes: A strong response can save your application; a weak or no response can lead to refusal.
Legal Implications: Seeking legal advice is often a wise move.
It's wise to take every precaution when responding to a Procedural Fairness Letter (PFL). The insights and expertise of a legal professional can make a significant difference in how effectively you address any concerns raised by the IRCC. Ensuring you're well-prepared and fully informed can enhance your chances of a positive outcome.
If you or anyone you know needs assistance with this process, don't hesitate to seek professional advice.
If you need any more information on this topic or have other questions, we are happy to assist you.

you paid the old fee
the application was complete and
you mailed it before the fee change
IRCC will tell you how to pay the difference between the new and old fees.
If you applied without paying the right of permanent residence fee, you must pay the new amount. This applies even if you already paid the processing fee and applied before the fee change.

Citizenship by Descent Delayed
Citizenship by Descent
Policy changes in 2009 amended the Citizenship Act to add a first-generation limit to citizenship by descent, that is a Canadian citizen parent can pass on citizenship to a child born outside Canada if they were either born in Canada or naturalized before the birth of the child.
Hence Canadian citizens who were born outside Canada cannot pass on citizenship to their child born outside Canada, and cannot apply for a direct grant of citizenship for a child born outside Canada and adopted.
In May 2024, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, introduced legislation that would extend citizenship by descent beyond the first generation in a way that is inclusive and protects the value of Canadian citizenship.
The delay is as a result of Parliament being prorogued until March 24, 2025, resulting the amendments to the Citizenship Act cannot be enacted before the March 19th deadline.
