Proof of Funds for Express Entry to Canada 2025: Key Updates and Requirements
Canada’s Express Entry immigration system has seen an update to its proof of funds requirements. These adjustments are based on 50% of the low-income cut-off totals, and applicants are advised to update their Express Entry profiles by July 28, 2025, to reflect these changes. It’s important to note that updating your profile will not impact your original receipt date or your rank in tie-breaker situations.

Acceptable Proof of Funds
The funds you declare must be readily available both at the time you submit your application and when your permanent resident visa is issued. The Canadian government accepts official letters from banks or financial institutions as proof of funds.
These letters must be:
Printed on the financial institution’s letterhead.
Include contact information (address, telephone number, and email address).
State your name.
List any outstanding debts, such as credit card debts or loans.
Provide details for each of your bank and investment accounts, including:
Account numbers.
Dates each account was opened.
The current balance of each account.
The average balance for the past six months.
It is crucial that the funds are legally accessible to you and are not borrowed from another person or derived from the equity of real property. While funds in a joint account with your spouse can be counted, funds held solely in your spouse’s name may only be considered if you can demonstrate direct access to them.

Why Canada Is Prioritizing Francophone Immigration
Canada has made a firm commitment to grow its Francophone population outside Quebec. To achieve this, the government has created specialized programs and incentives such as:
Dedicated immigration streams for Francophones
Extra points for French-language ability
Priority processing
Supportive settlement services in Francophone communities
Whether you are already abroad or exploring new opportunities, your French skills can open real pathways to permanent residency (PR), citizenship, and long-term success.

What You Need to Know:
TPS may be ending, but your life doesn’t have to be on hold.
French-speaking caregivers, workers, tradespeople, and families are in demand.
Your education, work experience, and French skills can all work in your favour.

Quebec suspends Family Class sponsorship applications after hitting cap
The Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration (MIFI)has officially announced that it has reached the maximum number of family-sponsorship undertakings for spouses, common-law or conjugal partners, and dependent children aged 18 or over. As a consequence, new applications in these categories are being returned unprocessed, with fees refunded. This suspension will remain in effect until June 25, 2026
What’s Behind This Decision?
In June 2024, Quebec imposed a two-year cap of 13,000 total undertakings:
10,400 for spouses, partners, and adult children
2,600 for parents, grandparents, and other relatives
As of July 9, 2025, the 10,400 was reached for spouses and adult children
Who Is Affected and Who Isn’t
Applications currently suspended until mid‑2026:
Spouses
Common‑law and conjugal partners
Dependent children aged 18+
Still accepted:
Dependent children under 18
Adult children with disabilities
Parents, grandparents, and other eligible relatives (remaining cap still available)
Why Only Some Categories?
Quebec sets its own intake quotas as part of its unique two-step selection process:
Federal sponsorship approval via IRCC
Provincial “undertaking” via MIFI, necessary to obtain the CSQ
Suspension Timeline & Re-opening
The suspension began immediately on July 9, 2025
No new undertakings for the affected categories will be accepted until June 25, 2026, at the earliest
MIFI will monitor and announce any further updates before that date
Impacts & Alternatives
Disappointment & delays: Many Quebec residents aiming to sponsor spouses or partners now face at least a year’s delay
Extended processing: Even existing applications face long review times, with Quebec’s spousal sponsorship taking around 36–38 months, compared to roughly 11–13 months in other provinces
Launching Super Visa applications for parents/grandparents — a multi‑year, multiple‑entry visitor visa — as an interim option
What Prospective Sponsors Should Do
Before 2026 re-opening:
Continuously track announcements on MIFI’s official site
Prepare complete documents: proof of status, relationship, financial eligibility (L I C O+ 30% for sponsors)
Be ready for a fast submission once the intake window opens
After suspension lifts:
Submit undertaking applications at the earliest opportunity
Ensure CSQ approval is secured alongside any federal IRCC sponsorship steps
Final Take
Quebec’s decision underscores how the province is reasserting control over immigration intake, particularly family reunification. It’s a reminder for families and sponsors to stay vigilant, be prepared, and explore temporary legal pathways while waiting until June 2026 to reunite permanently.
Permanent residents of Canada are expected to meet certain conditions to keep their status, and one of the key expectations is fulfilling the residency obligation. Life, however, doesn’t always follow a straight line. Whether it’s an unexpected health issue, a demanding job overseas, or a family emergency, many PR holders find themselves falling short of the physical presence requirement. This can lead to serious consequences, including the loss of permanent residence. That’s why understanding how to handle a residency obligation appeal, and more specifically, how to collect the right evidence, becomes so important.
If you’ve received notice that your permanent resident status could be in jeopardy due to time spent outside Canada, don’t panic. There is a process to explain your situation and show the necessity for your absence. The key to a strong appeal lies in how well it’s supported by evidence. Simply stating your reasons isn’t enough. You need documents, records, and personal statements that connect the dots clearly. Let’s walk through what this process involves and how to strengthen your appeal with meaningful proof.
Understanding Residency Obligation Appeals
Canada expects permanent residents to spend at least 730 days in the country over a five-year span. If you don’t, immigration officials may start the process to revoke your PR status. This is where residency obligation appeals come into play. An appeal gives you a chance to explain legitimate reasons for your extended stay outside Canada and request a second look.
The appeal isn’t automatic. You have to submit a formal request and include enough supporting evidence to show why your time outside Canada was either justified or unavoidable. The Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) considers various personal, humanitarian, and compassionate factors. That means they won’t just look at the number of days you were away, but why you were away, how strong your ties are to Canada, and what impact it would have if you lost your PR status.
This process can feel overwhelming, and one of the most challenging parts is figuring out what kind of proof the decision-makers actually want to see. That’s why getting familiar with the core reasons for common appeals can help you frame your own situation more clearly and start pulling together the right documentation.
Common Reasons for Residency Obligation Appeals
A strong appeal usually begins with a clear explanation of why you couldn’t meet the residency requirement. While every case is personal, there are a few common situations that typically lead to these types of appeals:
1. Medical or family emergencies
– Caring for a seriously ill parent or close relative
– Undergoing long-term treatment in another country not available in Canada
– Mental health difficulties that limited ability to relocate
2. Employment-related reasons
– Work assignments abroad with Canadian companies
– Jobs requiring international relocation
– Professional development or training opportunities not available in Canada
3. Other exceptional circumstances
– Personal safety concerns
– Legal or travel restrictions outside your control
– Unforeseen situations like natural disasters or political unrest
For example, someone might have accepted a position in Asia to fulfil a short-term contract for a Canadian employer. That individual could argue the overseas work was a valuable extension of their professional role, especially with documents showing intent to return to Canada and a timeline that supports that.
Not all reasons will carry the same weight. What matters is how well you can show the connection between your absence and the circumstances, and that you maintained an intent to return to Canada. The next step is gathering supporting evidence to reinforce your case.
Gathering Evidence for Your Appeal
The core of your residency obligation appeal hinges on the quality and relevance of the evidence you present. Each piece of documentation plays a pivotal role in painting a full picture of your circumstances. Start with medical records, which can prove important if your absence was due to health issues. If you stayed abroad to care for a family member, provide any hospital records or medical documentation reflecting their condition.
Financial and employment records also serve as helpful evidence, especially if work commitments took you out of Canada. These might include contracts, proof of salary, and correspondence with employers about your job duties and the necessity of working abroad. Bank statements showing transactions that support your claims can reinforce the employment-related context.
Statements from people familiar with your situation are also beneficial. Personal affidavits or letters from professionals like doctors or employers can support your explanation of events. Make sure these documents are clear, genuine, and relevant. A simple statement often carries more weight than one filled with unnecessary complexity. Other possible evidence could include school records, travel itineraries to show intent to return, or any paperwork that shows your steady ties to Canada.
Steps to Prepare Your Appeal
Having the right documents is one thing, but organizing them clearly is just as important. As you gather your evidence, keep everything sorted and properly labelled. This helps immigration officers piece together your story without confusion. Create a checklist based on your situation so you can be sure nothing gets missed.
Next, write a personal statement that’s honest and easy to follow. Use your own words to explain why you were away and how you remained connected to Canada. Be honest and straightforward. Connect your points to the evidence you’re providing. If you mention caring for a relative, include hospital records. If you reference a job contract abroad, include the signed agreement and related communication with your employer.
When it’s time to send in your appeal, double-check everything has been included—forms, documents, personal statement, and any legal paperwork. If something’s missing, it can cause delays. Send your package through a reliable delivery method that includes tracking, to make sure it reaches the proper department.

Getting a refusal on a permanent residence application can be upsetting and confusing. After spending time, effort, and resources on the process, hearing that the application wasn’t approved can feel like a huge setback. But if you’re looking into filing a permanent residence appeal, you still have a chance to make your case. Knowing what to expect from the timeline can help ease some of the pressure and give you a better sense of control over what happens next.
The appeal process comes with several steps, and each one takes time. People often wonder if decisions will come quickly or if they’ll wait months without updates. Understanding the flow and possible delays can help manage your expectations. Whether you’re still deciding if you want to appeal or you’ve already started the process, it’s useful to know what the road ahead might look like.
Initial Steps In Filing A Permanent Residence Appeal
Once you receive a refusal notice, the first thing to know is that there’s a deadline to file an appeal. You usually don’t have a large window, so this step needs to be handled quickly. It’s important not to ignore the letter or wait too long trying to decide what to do. Sitting on it might cost you the right to challenge the decision at all.
These are the key steps to take as soon as you get a refusal letter:
– Read the decision carefully. Understand why your application was refused.
– Write down the date when you received the refusal. This matters because the appeal deadline is based on when the notice was issued.
– Check if your case is something the Immigration Appeal Division (IAD) can actually review. Not every refusal can be appealed.
– Get qualified legal support to review your situation and decide if it’s worth moving forward with an appeal.
– Submit your appeal along with the required forms and proof that you fall within the deadline. Do not delay this.
Even though the appeal process may seem legal and complex (and honestly, it can be), the most important thing at this stage is being on time and providing clear documents. The appeal form asks for basic personal information and details about the refusal. You’ll also need to include a copy of the refusal notice. Keep all papers neat and dated, and make a file for every step forward. This helps avoid problems later.
Phases Of The Appeal Process
After you’ve submitted your appeal, the next part of the journey begins and it usually won’t be quick. Permanent residence appeal cases go through several stages. It’s more like a series of steps, each bringing the case one step closer to being resolved. The process might feel slow, but it helps make sure everything is looked at fairly.
Here’s a breakdown of the typical appeal phases:
1. Acknowledgment Letter
After your appeal is filed, you’ll get a letter from the IAD confirming they received it. This doesn’t mean the decision has changed. It just means your case is now in the system.
2. Document Disclosure
The immigration officer will share the file they used to make the original decision. You’ll have a chance to review it and submit any documents you think were missed or that support your case.
3. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
Some cases are picked for ADR, which is a faster and more informal way to try and fix the issue without a full hearing. If you’re selected for ADR and it’s successful, your case might be resolved sooner.
4. Hearing Phase
If the appeal moves forward, a hearing will be scheduled. This step often takes months to arrive, depending on scheduling, complexity, and location. You’ll get notified in writing about where and when it will happen. It’s your chance to explain your side and show why the decision should be changed.
5. Decision
After the hearing, the member assigned to your case will take time to review everything. In some cases, you get the result quickly. In others, you’ll have to wait for a written decision to show up in the mail.
The full process can take a long time. Often several months or more than a year depending on how smoothly things go, whether extra evidence is needed, and whether your case goes to ADR or a full hearing.
Understanding each of these parts helps take some of the mystery out of the appeal journey. It doesn’t make waiting easier, but it does allow you to prepare and stay focused. Being aware of what’s coming next can help you sort out your documents, arrange your calendar, and lessen surprise delays.
Factors That Can Affect Timelines
Dealing with an appeal means being ready for unexpected delays. Various elements can lengthen or even shorten the time it might take to reach a decision. Understanding these can help keep worries in check and make planning smoother.
– Case Complexity: If your case has unique twists or involves complex legal matters, it might take longer to resolve. The more elements the immigration officials need to examine, the longer they might take.
– Documentation and Evidence: Having solid, complete documents can help. Missing papers or requests for more evidence often push back the timeline. Try to have everything ready and submit additional information as quickly as you can.
– Administrative Load: How many cases the IAD is handling can also impact timing. High volumes often mean longer waiting periods for everyone involved.
– Delays in Scheduling Hearings: Sometimes, there aren’t enough hearing dates available soon, especially if there’s a backlog. Delays can happen here too, but staying prepared and responsive is key.
By keeping these factors in mind, planning becomes more realistic. Always double-check documents for accuracy and have responses ready for any additional requests. This way, you can address issues swiftly.
Realistic Expectations and Planning
Having a clear understanding of how long each phase might take helps you set better expectations. Here’s a rough timeline you can consider:
– Initial Filing to Acknowledgment: This usually takes a few weeks. It’s the confirmation that gets your case into the system.
– Receipt to Document Disclosure: Expect another couple of months for this step, during which the required documentation is gathered and assessed.
– ADR and Hearings: These might be scheduled several months out, depending on case loads. If your appeal qualifies for ADR, it might cut down a lot of time.
– Final Decision: Once the hearing concludes, expect another period that could range from a few weeks to a couple of months for the decision.
Patience is key through this process. While it’s hard not to want everything resolved quickly, a well-prepared and thoroughly thought-out appeal has a much better chance. Stay proactive by checking in on the status, consulting with legal advisors, and always being ready with any needed updates to your case files.
Importance of Staying Informed and Prepared
From your initial appeal to the conclusion, staying informed about your case’s progress is vital. This means actively engaging with your legal team and keeping tabs on any updates.
– Regular Updates: Set up regular check-ins with your legal counsel. They’ll have inside insight into how things might be going and can provide guidance when needed.
– Documentation Maintenance: Keep all related documents organized and handy. Response times matter, so being prepared ahead of time is a major advantage.
– Open Communication: Always speak up if something isn’t clear. Ask questions and get advice when necessary. Your role in this process is active, so staying informed empowers you to make the best decisions.
Being informed not only keeps you from missing important steps but also equips you to handle the appeal process with confidence. Accurate information and prompt responses go a long way in making sure the process moves forward without unnecessary delays.
Facing a permanent residence appeal can feel overwhelming, but with the right guidance, you can navigate the process efficiently. Staying organized and informed is key to reaching a strong outcome.

Understanding the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB)
The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) is Canada’s largest independent administrative tribunal. This means it’s not part of any government department, it operates separately to make fair, legal, and efficient decisions about immigration and refugee matters.
The IRB is made up of four sections called divisions, each with its own role:
Refugee Protection Division (RPD)
The RPD handles refugee protection claims made by people who are already in Canada.
You can make a refugee claim:
When you arrive at a port of entry (like an airport or land border), by speaking to a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer.
If the officer decides your claim is eligible, it will be sent to the RPD. The RPD then hears your case and decides whether you qualify for protection under Canadian law and international agreements like the Geneva Convention.
Refugee Appeal Division (RAD)
If your refugee claim is denied by the RPD, you may be able to appeal to the RAD.
The RAD reviews the RPD’s decision and can:
Agree with the RPD’s decision.
Change the decision.
Send the case back to the RPD to be heard again, with specific instructions.
This gives people a second chance to have their refugee claim considered.
Note: Hearings at the RPD and RAD are private unless an exception applies.
Immigration Division (ID)
The ID holds hearings when the CBSA or IRCC believes someone should not be allowed to stay in Canada. These are called admissibility hearings and apply to foreign nationals or permanent residents who may have broken immigration rules.
The ID also conducts detention reviews for people held in immigration detention by the CBSA. These reviews happen:
Within 48 hours of detention.
Again within 7 days of the first review.
Then at least every 30 days until the person is released or removed from Canada.
Immigration Appeal Division (IAD)
The IAD hears different types of immigration appeals, such as:
Appeals of removal orders against permanent residents, protected persons, or permanent resident visa holders.
Appeals from permanent residents who were told they didn’t meet the residency requirement.
Appeals made by the Minister of Public Safety if the ID decides someone is not inadmissible.
Note: Hearings at the IAD and ID are usually public unless an exception applies.
Final Thoughts
The IRB plays a key role in making fair decisions on immigration and refugee issues in Canada. Whether someone is seeking protection, challenging a refusal, or facing removal, the IRB ensures that everyone has access to a clear, legal process.
If you or someone you know is involved in an immigration or refugee matter, it’s important to understand how the IRB works and to seek legal advice when needed.
Citizenship Through a Grandparent or Great Grandparent – Why NOW Is the Time to Act
Canada is on the verge of a major change in citizenship law, and for many people with Canadian ancestry this could mean an unprecedented opportunity to obtain Canadian citizenship not just through a parent or grandparent, but potentially through a great-grandparent or even earlier generations.
Bill C-3: A Game-Changer for Descendants of Canadians
Bill C-3, which replaces the former Bill C-71, proposes significant amendments to the Citizenship Act, especially concerning the controversial first-generation limit. This rule currently restricts citizenship by descent to only the first generation born abroad to a Canadian parent. But under Bill C-3, that limitation would be lifted potentially extending eligibility to second, third, fourth, and even fifth-generation descendants of Canadian citizens.
While the bill is not yet passed, it is widely expected to become law. The government has until November 2025 to enact remedial legislation following the Bjorkquist et al. court decision.
At Doherty Fultz Immigration, we are advising clients with ancestral ties to Canada, including those with great-grandparents or other earlier Canadian ancestors, to begin the process now.
Submitting an application during this interim period, especially with well-supported urgency or compassionate reasons, puts you in a better position. IRCC is actively processing these cases and issuing invitations to apply for Canadian citizenship, even before the formal changes to the law are finalized.
Discretionary Citizenship Through a Grandparent: What It Means When You’re Invited to Apply
Discretionary citizenship refers to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship’s power under section 5(4) of the Citizenship Act to grant Canadian citizenship in special cases. It’s not automatic, and it’s not guaranteed, but it can be a powerful option when someone has a compelling connection to Canada, such as being the grandchild or great grandchild of a Canadian citizen, and would not otherwise qualify under the regular rules.
Receiving an invitation to apply for discretionary citizenship is a significant milestone. It means Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) has reviewed your case and determined that you may have a strong enough connection to Canada, typically through a Canadian grandparent, to be considered for citizenship outside the regular process. However, this is not a final decision. You must still submit a full application, along with supporting documents and a detailed explanation of your connection to Canada, the hardship or unfairness caused by previous laws, and why you should be granted citizenship as an exception.
Why You Shouldn’t Wait
Once Bill C-3 passes, we anticipate a massive influx of applications. This could overwhelm IRCC and significantly delay processing times. Right now, the government is operating under flexible, discretionary authority. That window may close or become more rigid once the bill becomes law and the volume of applicants explodes.
The key message: Act now.
If you believe you may be eligible for Canadian citizenship through your grandparent, great-grandparent, or even earlier ancestry, this is your opportunity. Start gathering your documents. Speak with a legal representative. Submit your application or prepare to do so under the current interim policy.
What We’re Doing to Help
At Doherty Fultz Immigration, we are actively assisting clients in preparing their files for submission — whether under interim discretionary grounds or in anticipation of Bill C-3. We’re also offering services to help clients obtain the documents they need, including historical Canadian citizenship records.
We believe that generational Canadians abroad deserve a fair path to reclaiming their citizenship. This bill is a step toward that. But timing is critical.
