    Why is CEC Express Entry Permanent Residency Portal asking for my Non-accompanying Canadian common law partner's information?

    Too many people were declaring their spouse as non-accompanying while they were accompanying. This allows IRCC to determine if actually non-accompanying.

    Has anyone been through a similar situation after receiving a 44(1) report? URGENT ‼️

    The outcome of you 44(1) has to be resolved before determining whether you may get another 1 year card or a 5 year card. Processing is around a year so you should hear somewhat soon. I would not leave Canada until you get a response regarding the 44(1).

    PR Residency Obligation: COPR June 2024, PR Card Jan 2025

    We see this time and time again on this forum. People have a plan that allows them zero flexibility and then life happens and they have to delay their travel to Canada or have to leave for longer than their planned vacation time. Always leave a significant buffer. Anecdotally it appears there...

    Queer from an islamic country

    Would personally worry about documenting your persecution and trying to find a way to enter Canada. Without entering Canada you can’t claim asylum. Asylum if you have no funds is not easy. Many are living in homeless shelters or even on the street due to capacity or just safety. The money the...

    IRPA 28(2)(a)(ii) Calculation: Soft Landing Only + Co-habitation with Citizen Spouse Prior to Divorce

    You had landed in Canada as well as the person you sponsored before getting COPR which could have been the reason more information wasn’t said. That said your spouse may end not being able to count RO for PR having never actually settled in Canada. At least the Canadian citizen is the one who...

    Haven't met RO and want to apply for spousal sponsorship

    Her ability to qualify is mainly based on her profile not your invitation but the invitation should be fine. It may be quite different to get a TRV’

    Haven't met RO and want to apply for spousal sponsorship

    There is always a risk that any interaction with IRCC will trigger review of your RO. We have also seen cases where IRCC doesn’t process family sponsorship until the sponsor meets their RO or they get approved for PR card renewal based on H&C factors.

    2026 PR application timeline

    As already noted there is no need to call in or rush to get your temporary number. Everyone will receive one and doesn’t benefit you in any way. It is just a temporary number for administrative purposes until you receive AOR. It is a waiting game but there is still a large number of applicants...

    2026 PR application timeline

    We have to wait and see what happens but believe the 2026 applicants will see longer processing times than 2024/25 because 1 time policy will have met its quota.

    IRPA 28(2)(a)(ii) Calculation: Soft Landing Only + Co-habitation with Citizen Spouse Prior to Divorce

    Around 5 years ago citizens who were sponsoring family while living abroad started being required to provide proof that they would be moving to Canada because too many were never relocating to Canada. Many family members would do a soft landing and continue living aboard. If you don’t include...
