Should the claimant decide to move provinces while they are waiting to have their claim heard by the IRB (for example, they claim refugee status in Quebec then move to Ontario), they would need to inform the IRB, IRCC and the CBSA of this move, and provide their new address.

The right to move freely throughout Canada and choose where you want to live. Note that you might be required to report to the governmental institutions periodically, which sometimes has to be done before you are allowed to move. If these reporting obligations apply to you, make sure you review them carefully and notify the proper authorities of any change of address and phone number. This is to make sure they can contact you if there are any changes or information they need while processing your asylum claim. Please speak to your lawyer before you move to a different province if you have not had your refugee hearing at the Immigration Refugee Board. Please also note that an asylum-seeker cannot (temporarily) leave Canada during the processing of their asylum application.

To give you a guideline rent increase, your landlord must follow these rules:
12 months apart: After you move in, your landlord must wait at least 12 months before raising your rent. And any increases after that also must be at least 12 months apart.
90 days' written notice: Your landlord must give you a written notice at least 90 days before your rent goes up. For example, if your landlord wants to raise your rent on June 1, they must give you a written Notice of Rent Increase no later than March 2.

If you are protected by the rent guideline and your landlord asks you to agree to a higher increase, you can say no. You don't have to agree or sign anything.


If you don't agree, your landlord can apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) for permission to raise the rent by more than the guideline.


If you do agree to a rent increase above the guideline, the agreement must say what you are getting in return. The agreement must also follow certain rules.

Pre-arrival services are free online or in-person programs for people who have been approved to immigrate to Canada.

Pre-arrival services offer information to better understand life in Canada, how to find a job, and how to access other free settlement services when you arrive in Canada. Some programs offer specific information according to your profession or destination, such as language training and essential skills training in the workplace.

If a person with a tourist visa with minors has put in for asylum but is yet to be granted or heard in court but has confirmation of application, can the children go to school in ontario with that document?

Hello. My family is in the process for PR. I have a daughter from my first marriage. I have a court verdict where her father is completely deprived of parental rights, which I have attached with the documentation. Now they are asking me for his consent so that she can get PR. I am confused and worried because I don't know where he has been for the last 16 years. She is 17.

Our members are workers in precarious jobs. We are recent immigrants, workers of colour, women, men, and youth. Most of us don’t belong to unions because we work in small workplaces, are temporary workers, on contract, independent contractors or unemployed. This month we may be juggling 2 or 3 jobs, but next month we might not have any work or income. When we are able to find full-time work, there is still little protection against unfair working conditions or employers who don’t pay us what we should be paid.
