As long as you can convince immigration officers in Canada that you do not intend to use your visitor visa to try and remain in Canada and obtain permanent resident status, you should have a reasonable chance. It depends on the quality of the documentation you submit. A blank passport is not as...

As mentioned, read the guide first.

On the page you link above the instructions are quite clear. Scroll down to where it says How to apply for an open work permit, click yes to the question Do you have valid temporary resident status and keep reading the instructions. There are links to the guide (5553) as well and a link here...

I'm afraid the Minimum income levels are a hard and fast (as we say in Canada) rule. Since your average income over those years is fairly close to the MNI, you may get a favorable final decision though this is far from certain. If you do appeal, you might consider getting a letter from your...

Your link only gives instructions for applying for a study permit within Canada. This is not a secure path for you. Is your consultant located in India?

IRCC doesn't give much information on this problem. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1420&top=19 Where did you give biometrics? In the US? I would go back to the collection point (the centre) and inquire.

They've recently updated the Permanent Residence Portal, so that may be causing some of these problems. Here's a link that might give you some answers. https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1648&top=23

You can be "self-employed" according to this IRCC page. So, the answer would seem to be yes, as long as you are studying at a DLI and meet the conditions outlined on the page I've linked for you.

It would help if you mentioned from what country your current university is. You might get more replies from people who have done the same as you.

It's a little more complicated than that Samuel. Go here to do some research about immigrating to Canada: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada.html

Again, you should probably best wait for your spouse to get approved and then go together. You can try going before but you may very well be rejected.

You're right, advice from a qualified and experienced immigration lawyer is what you need. I would advise you, however, that given the uniqueness of your case, looking for a quick solution to get to Canada might be a mistake. Again, you need to talk to a lawyer. Good luck!

There could be any number of reasons why you haven't heard back from immigration officials, so it's hard to say what's happening in your case.

There isn't really any specific document that proves this. It's more a case of convincing Canadian immigration officials that your intent is to settle in and live in Canada.

You have to be born to a Canadian parent, so citizenship by descent wouldn't seem to apply, as your father became a Canadian presumably years after you were born.
