00:00In a quiet but powerful move, Canada has redrawn the lines for temporary residents.
00:18As of May 28, 2025, IRCC's new rules on maintained status have triggered alarm across the migrant community.
00:29A single misstep could now lead to an immediate loss of legal status, leaving workers and students exposed.
00:40The full version of this update is available on our website, link mentioned in the description below.
00:59This video explains Canada's latest immigration changes, where incomplete applications are now rejected outright with no second chances.
01:11New rules restrict the use of dual or second applications to extend stay.
01:17And restoration of status is now a risky last option, requiring applicants to stop working or studying immediately if their status lapses.
01:26So watch till the end to learn what temporary residents must do to stay compliant and avoid losing their legal standing in Canada.
01:39Let's begin with no more second chances with incomplete applications.
01:48Submitting a placeholder or dummy application right before your visa expires? That trick won't work anymore.
01:54IRCC will now treat incomplete or ineligible applications as grounds to end your maintained status, even if submitted on time.
02:04Next, we explore new rules on dual or second applications.
02:11Submitting a second application won't save you unless it's done before your original status expires, and only if it's complete.
02:21Submit it even a day late? IRCC will automatically refuse it, leaving you without status.
02:28Moving on to restoration of status. A risky last option.
02:37Lost your status? You have just 90 days to apply for a restoration.
02:42You must stop working or studying immediately and remain in Canada the entire time.
02:47But even then, approval isn't guaranteed.
02:51Then, we examine what temporary residents must do to stay safe.
02:59Plan your extension early. Ensure your documents are complete.
03:03And if you're unsure, get legal advice before your legal status disappears with no warning.
03:10Finally, we wrap up with…
03:13Conclusion
