Surprisingly I cannot find the answer anywhere. Normally, green card holders need an eTA to fly into Canada (My passport is NOT visa-exempt). The Nexus card is tied to the green card. IRCC states that one can use their existing Canadian visa instead of an eTA. However, can I use an existing...

From what you posted, seems like they're saying you did not disclosed some previous visa/entry denials. Is that the case? I do not know what to do though, so hopefully the pros here will give you advice on how to proceed in either case, at least to avoid a 5 year ban.

Happy for those who got the document quickly. It goes to prove that CIC taking 3 months+ to process inland is all pure BS as it can be done on the spot at the border.

This is actually valuable information. Out of curiosity...is there a maximum? (e.g. someone with a permit valid for 2 years but they quit in the first few months...do they still get to stay as visitors for 1.5+ years?) Also: are there any provisions for job switching or finding an alternative...

Canuck_in_uk: Ooooh I see. Yes, I always imagined that adoptions happen when biological parents are dead/absent. Good point, didn't occur to me that this could happen. Canuck78: Good advice. I'll forward it to the person. The only complication is that they live in the US, so they may decide to...

Oh this is hypothetical so far. The Canadian person is considering, to even see if that'll be an option to adopt, instead of actually having biological children of their own. I imagine there'll be no relationship to the child. What's an adoption of convenience? My understanding is that to...

Oh I haven't seen that one! Thank you, Sir! looks very helpful!

Thank you, k.h.p! Yes, that Canadian is Canadian by birth. What are the restrictions in that case? Also any particular maximum age on the child?

Serious question. If a Canadian adopts a child from Africa, can they get citizenship for the kid? Does it matter if: 1- The Canadian is not living in Canada 2- The Canadian is single 3- The Canadian is married to a non-Canadian and they are adopting together Or any combination of (1,2) and...

Thank you!

If you have both a valid TRV and a Green Card. Which one would make it faster and easier to enter Canada? And does it matter if it's by air or land? And Would using the Green Card cancel the TRV? Please share your experience.

Can he start the process when she's not in Canada though?

Just write it directly to the officer. Put your info (including address) and maybe even say he'll stay with you. Also put yourself on the hook by saying you're responsible for his money (essentially give them your info coz they feel they can prosecute you if he overstays -- think medieval...

For Biometrics, if you never gave them since July, they'll send you a letter to take to your local USCIS's ASC service.

From the US, I'd say eliminate the middle step of VAC. IRCC are incredibly slow as it is, no point in adding a middle step that will just forward the mail. Also when you send your passport directly, at least you can track the Fedex ID (I'll be very surprised if VAC tell you when they send...
