    Laughton Creatves_SEO Author: Laughton Creatves_SEO Date:

    Being allowed to leave Canada doesn’t mean you can simply hop on a plane and go. There’s often a lot more paperwork involved, especially when your immigration status is still being reviewed or if you’ve left under specific conditions.

    Receiving a procedural fairness letter (PFL) can be intimidating. It’s a serious notice from Canadian immigration authorities that flags concerns in your application and gives you the chance to respond. If you’ve received more than one, things can start to feel overwhelming fast. Each letter might highlight a different issue or raise similar points multiple times, which can create confusion about how to respond clearly and effectively. Multiple PFLs don’t necessarily mean the worst-case scenario, but they do require careful…

    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.
