Allow me to answer that question.
Indeed, it is always difficult to prove an applicant's intention to come to Canada. In the absence of a clear procedure or instructions given to immigration officers, we fear the return of the old way of doing things, meaning refusing visa applications made by people who have an application for permanent residence under consideration.
At this time, it's almost impossible for a refugee protection claimant's family to visit them in Canada. Of course, the applicant can't return to their country of origin while their application for permanent residence is being processed. I've never seen a refugee protection claimant being able to welcome their children while their application is being processed. As I mentioned earlier, this can take years.
So we think there should be a positive presumption against the claimants. Unless there's a barrier or admissibility problem, factors related to the application for temporary residence should be positively considered.
