持牌移民法律顧問 (RCIC)回應 HONG KONG FREE PRESS 有關於IRCC對救生艇計劃申請人可於境外等待永久居民結果的報導

鑑於《香港自由新聞》近日關於IRCC對救生艇計劃申請人可於境外等待永久居民結果的報導，加拿大持牌移民顧問（RCIC）Venus – 有以下分析與建議給予申請者：

1. 消息來源需透明化： 媒體應公開是哪位IRCC發言人作出該回應，讓香港人能追溯訊息來源，保障資訊的準確與可信性。
   
2. 應公開官方書面回覆： 建議新聞媒體同時公開IRCC的完整書面回應，讓申請人在日後如遇任何問題，可有書面證據可供引用與追查。
   
3. 法律與實務風險： 從移民角度分析，若申請人在申請處理期間離開加拿大、返回香港等待結果，可能會引起IRCC對申請人是否真正有意定居加拿大的質疑。此舉可能被視為已經切斷與加拿大的聯繫，對申請結果造成潛在影響。

Venus 建議： 請審慎考慮，作出任何決定前，建議先諮詢專業意見，以免影響申請。

In light of the recent article by Hong Kong Free Press regarding IRCC’s position on Lifeboat Scheme applicants being allowed to wait for their permanent residence outcome outside Canada, Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC) – Venus Ng has the following observations and suggestions to applicants:

1. Transparency of Source: It is important for Hong Kong Free Press to disclose who the IRCC spokesperson is. Hongkongers deserve to know who made this statement, for accountability and clarity.
   
2. Official Documentation: The media should also publish the full official written response from IRCC. Having a black-and-white document ensures that applicants can refer back to it if any issues arise with their PR applications.
   
3. Legal and Practical Risk: From an immigration standpoint, if applicants choose to leave Canada and await their PR decision in Hong Kong, it could raise questions about their genuine intention to reside in Canada—a key requirement under Canadian immigration law. Cutting ties with Canada may potentially impact the integrity of your application.

Venus’s advice: Be cautious, and seek professional guidance before making decisions that could affect your immigration status.
