    Marriage with just two witnesses

    Spending time with a boyfriend of girlfriend means very little unless you live together especially right before you get married. Proof that you have spent 15 days together for months to years while dating would be proof of a longterm dating relationship for IRCC. Unless there was very clear...

    Virtual Landing Timeline - Jan 2026 - Spousal Sponsorship - NDVO

    Probably but if not just apply to extend visitor status. This is why updating address as soon as possible is important and also why it doesn’t always make sense to visit Canada if very far along in the sponsorship process.

    Marriage with just two witnesses

    Agree that you should make sure you include very good proof that this is a longterm dating relationship (unclear when you actually started dating), why your family is opposed to the marriage, why you didn’t even have friends attend the wedding and not even a small celebration, why you only got...

    Marriage with just two witnesses

    That is an incredibly different situation. You had family support and a very good reason why your wedding may not be able to be public since you are still in the closet.

    My COPR expires in July 2025, my application is stuck since March 2025.

    There is no guaranteed processing time so not sure how you are determining that it is “overdue”. As long as your processing time is similar to others with your NOC and you have done everything legally then your only option is to wait.

    2025 PR Application Timeline (Protected Person)

    There is no exact timeline for AOR but yes 6 months is more realistic than a few months. The whole process will be extremely slow so there is no point trying to determine when you may hear from IRCC and pass various stages. You may not hear from them for over a year at some stages. That is the...

    Work Visa or Spousal Visa?

    Have you ever lived together for one continuous year? Was this declared on any immigration paperwork your gf submitted? What type of permit is your GF on? What NOCdoes she work in and if a WP when does it expire?

    URGENT : IRCC asking for evident of legal authority over a child to travel to canada for PR

    This is really primarily a custody issue and you should be speaking to your lawyer about this. The children have the option to attempt to travel as visitors if you legally have visitation in Canada. Also doesn’t sound like IRCC may have been aware of the result of your custody agreement when...
