On October 18, 2021, the government of Canada exempted Afghanistan nationals from the 12-month bar due to the worsening conditions in Afghanistan that put individuals at risk.
Afghan applicants whose previous pre-removal risk assessment (PRRA) decision was made between October 19th, 2020 and October 18th, 2021,
and whose refugee claim or previous application for a PRRA is rejected or withdrawn, or dismissed by the Federal Court, can apply for a PRRA.
Those whose decisions were made after October 18th, 2021, will still be subjected to the 12-month bar.

The latest issue of Lexbase disclosed that an internal immigration department document emphasized if people residing in Canada want to officially land in Canada after obtaining permanent residence, they must have a legal TR (temporary resident) status.
This internal document dated November 3, 2020, states that in order to complete landing procedures in Canada, the applicant must hold a valid temporary residence visa in order to prove they are in the country legally.
This is a general basic requirement for all permanent resident applications.
If the person overstayed their residency, but is still within the 90-day period to apply to restore their status, they need to first apply to restore their legal residence status and wait until the documents are approved before completing the permanent residency approval.
