I have a Canadian PR (first landing done), but we haven’t been able to move yet as we had a baby recently. Does anyone know if I could request for extension due to change in family situation?

Short answer is No. You can try an application on humanitarian and compassionate grounds but that usually only works if you genuinely made an attempt to establish residence and a situation arose after such as prolonged illness of a family member abroad, etc. Reality is, the day you landed your clock started ticking and you made a commitment to permanently reside in Canada. The fact you decided to land and leave is a matter of convenience. You could have had your child in Canada. Not trying to paint a negative picture but just giving you honest perspective.

M1. Well you have sometime. Dont listen to ey1. He is negative pos. You will not get extension but you can try to get your new one PR.

If the OP has time to move, then there is no need to request an extension. The fact OP is asking about extending PR is indicative of them being on the cusp of not being able to meet residency requirements. Like I said, there is the option of requesting an extension. I am just providing a realistic and grounded view. And no need for that kind of language; unbecoming of a "Manager".

Help!! My bestfriend is doing two months abroad and was trying to fly into turkey when they told her she couldn't because her passport expired within three months.

She went to the US Embassay in Athens knowing she had a month left of traveling, and gave her an emergency passport and punched holes in her exsisting one. Now no country will let her in with her emergency passport.

Can her mom get her a passport in the US and ship it to her? Is there anyway around this?

Thank you!!

I recently accepted a position with a new org. One of the benefits I asked about with offer was the parental leave policy and was told (in writing by HR) 16 weeks paid after 1 year, which is as good as you can hope for in US. Now I’ve been sent the employee handbook to review/sign and it says only 12 weeks, which is less than the org I’m leaving. What might my recourses be to negotiate 16 weeks when the time comes? Also, should I be viewing this is a red flag?
