Is canadian immigration granting any extensions for landing or for preserving your PR status (2 out of 5 years)?

So can I apply for my spouse's PR from Canada while we both are in Canada (spouse on TRV, me on PR) or is the TRV short lived than 12 months?

Hello, can someone please shed some light on spousal PR? I already have a Canadian PR. If I get married outside Canada, 1. If I have to apply for my spouse's PR, how long does the process take? 2. If it takes too long, can my spouse travel with me to Canada without a PR, lets say on another visa...

Is it really that bad? I remember I got my WES report sent by regular post and I received it in 2 weeks.

I am not sure. My status was updated to approved. Also the call center guy said it was mailed out. So I guess yes. Congrats to you too!

Hello, Is it safe to mail PR card overseas using Canada post? I might sound cheap but courier charges of mailing packages to my country are minimum $110 plus taxes which I found too much. As opposed to this regular post charges are around $3. Because of this huge difference I thought of...

I like the way you think :D maybe that is what is happening. I am thinking of slipping in a $100 bill inside the envelope next time I send photos so they won't reject them. ;)

Hi, I had applied for first PR card in January when i landed but soon after i left for my home country and i plan to return to Canada later this year. Now already my photos have been rejected twice by CIC and I dont want to play this photo game with them any more since I have to send the photos...

I am also interested to know what a PRTD is. Is it a piece of paper like CoPR? Also do they stamp our passport again with immigrant visa type?

I think it is recommend to possess one as proof of residency but not required and you can get away by showing other docs like CoPR. But I would suggest having a PR card at some point in time at least when you apply for citizenship ( if at all).

Uh oh! Do you really need the PR card right away? Otherwise look for other travel doc options if you are travelling. Hopefully some day they will start giving out their super secret reason for denial when people start complaining about their lousy process. Till then i will just defer my appln.

Good luck to you too. I am not playing this game any more. I will apply for travel doc later..

Yes it is. What sucks most is that you don't know what's wrong with your photos without which there is no point in sending new photos again n again. That's why I will be applying for travel doc when I decide to travel.
