    Can outland permanent resident sponsor leave canada for couple of months?

    That is quite risky. IRCC seems to allow something under a month because that would be very generous paid vacation time in Canada. If you are out of Canada for multiple months you are not really establishing your life in Canada.

    Entering Canada on a visitor visa with a ONE-WAY ticket (Family visiting PR spouse/father) CBSA experience?

    The airline would be responsible for the cost of return travel if they are denied entry to Canada. They can also deny boarding for a variety of reasons including concerns about proof of onward travel especially if not by air. Bus companies would laugh at an airline trying to get them to pay...

    Super Visa re-application

    This is not a good plan for a variety of reasons. She needs to be abroad to apply but she also should only apply after she has spent time reestablishing her ties to her home country. A supervisa is not meant to allow parents to move to Canada and parents are expected to return home after their...

    Believe the case is under the citizenship thread.

    Citizenship processing time

    You are unlikely see much movement in your file before September but if you get a test request you can request to do it from abroad. Expect in very rare circumstances you need to be in Canada to take the oath. It shouldn’t be scheduled until you return from your visit abroad so won’t be an issue.

    Overseas spouse and dependents of protected person and convention refugee timeline - Share here

    That is far from guaranteed. There is an influx of families members waiting for PR due to the 1 time initiative and 2026 quota so wait times are increasing and there is a lot of variability depending on the file.

    They are experiencing normal processing which is what they will be told.

    2024 - DR2 Centralized Concurrent Processing Pilot Project - Protected person

    Prearrival letter is purely procedural and has nothing to do with processing timeline. It confuses so many people so I wish IRCC would either change the name or explain this on the document. Medicals are only valid for 12 months and IRCC tries to prevent people from having to do them more than...

    Does full-time AZ truck driving school affect CEC work experience?

    It does if it is full-time in Canada at a licensed DLI and you have not reentered Canada from another country (not the US). There is no need for a study permit for a program under 6 months if you have js entered Canada. You also can’t count Canadian work experience while studying full-time in...

    Inquiry Regarding CEC Immigration and Employment Verification

    The issue is that it isn’t realistic to live in Ontario an commute daily to most of Quebec so there will be concern that you will live in Quebec at least part-time and return as soon as you get PR. It is very rare for people to move out of Quebec/Montreal while continue working at the same job...

    Need advice on PRTD possibility

    An expired COPR is essentially useless except to enter Canada someone can also look up your status. They can’t just apply for a PR card because they don’t meet their RO. The best option if not reported at the border is to wait 2 years and then apply but that also comes with a lot of issues. The...

    Is visitor record required for applying spousal open work permit?

    They said they entered Canada 2 months ago and can stay 6 months so that means they have a visitor record.

    Entering Canada on a visitor visa with a ONE-WAY ticket (Family visiting PR spouse/father) CBSA experience?

    Not sure I would risk being denied entry on an international flight based on a bus ticket these days.

    Entering Canada on a visitor visa with a ONE-WAY ticket (Family visiting PR spouse/father) CBSA experience?

    Your status in Canada, whether you are employed, etc. means very little when it comes to a visitor ability to enter Canada or board a flight. There previous adherence to immigration laws helps when it comes to entry into Canada but not board a flight. There are plenty of people who overstay...

    Applying for TRV via friend's invite before marriage & Spousal PR — Will this cause issues?

    Why risk being caught lying? Apply for a TRV after you have AOR from spousal sponsorship or apply for a TRV with you as the friend. How old is your spouse? Does your spouse have proof of a longterm well paying job with proof of leave from her employer, significant savings, family ties like...
