    PR Application

    You mentioned not hearing back yet from Service Ontario… have you been calling them and asking for updates? Seven weeks is awhile and I’d personally be hassling them instead of thinking of submitting the PR application with a set of documents that IRCC may or may not accept. This smells to me of...

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    Did you actually meet the common law definition on the ircc website when you applied for your pr or when you landed? From what you’ve said it’s not clear to me if you did or not. For example if you and your then girlfriend had a child together but didn’t not have 12 months of continuous...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It sounds like maybe they didn’t upload the fee receipt correctly which I think would make the application incomplete, in which case yes, I think they’d have to pay more because the application date would then be after the fee change.

    I believe if the price changes after you’ve submitted your application they don’t ask you to pay more. Just like your application is “locked in” in terms of days in Canada etc, you pay whatever was applicable at the time of submission

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I’m wondering if there’s a typo in your dates? May 7 isn’t two months ago? We have a very similar timeline except my year was marked complete April 7 - no updates to LPP or oath since

    Outland - US common-law Spouse

    It should be very very clear in the forms if the form is about the sponsor or the principal applicant. If you haven’t started filling the forms out, start doing so and I think a lot of your confusion will go away as you start filling them out. If it’s not, read it again very carefully...

    Sponsor retired and main income is his pensions. - Spousal Sponsorship - Outland

    Are you/will you be in a position to work? Or currently working? (Not clear if you’re currently in Canada.) Showing you have plans to work (looking into how to transfer accreditation, improving English or French skills, researching job postings you’re qualified for etc) could potentially...

    Seeking Advice for Spousal Sponsorship with Less Than 2 Years in a Relationship

    Earlier I had posted and mentioned that I was sponsored just shy of our 2nd anniversary and it was a very smooth and quick process. But now reading more details about your timeline I want to make sure it is clear that we were just shy of two years of MARRIAGE and had been a couple for 3 years...

    Citizen obligations | PR- PNP | Moving out of province.

    PRs have mobility rights, so you can move. If I’m reading correctly it sounds like you’ve lived for awhile in your PNP province anyway, so you really don’t have anything to worry about. There’s some concern that if you move right away (ie never work or live there or stay there for far less than...

    Seeking Advice for Spousal Sponsorship with Less Than 2 Years in a Relationship

    W We will have to agree to disagree on if it’s a corner case or standard practice for **practicing** Catholics to need a church wedding. In my experience with many, many Catholics, the practicing ones absolutely have church weddings. I thought I was pretty clear in my previous post that it...

    Spouse sponsorship

    Leaving out a previous marriage is pretty serious. Did you get a ban for misrepresentation or just a refusal?

    Seeking Advice for Spousal Sponsorship with Less Than 2 Years in a Relationship

    I think it’s a bit nuanced here. If you’re nominally Catholic and aren’t really practicing then having just a civil wedding is fine. But if you’re practicing Catholics and your relationship history somehow reflects that (met at church or on a catholic dating website, didn’t live together before...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    You mean your job started more than two years ago? Put the real start date not a fake start date of exactly two years ago. They know that people have jobs or schooling etc that aren’t exactly two years from now.
