    What to say at the Border

    Getting married would be MUCH easier and quicker in your circumstance (all your previous time together, insufficient for common law because not continuous, would serve as strong relationship proof). You would have to wait for the marriage certificate (not the marriage license nor the thing that...

    Can one sponsor a spouse with a casual job

    Sure. You'd emphasize your savings, your plan to work (presumably the internship is for future employment), and your spouse's ability/plans to work. There's no formal specific requirement for financial capacity, they just want to see plans make basic sense.

    Pre Arrival Letter - What is its purpose?

    When you say your medical exam was 'reissued' - meaning you did a new medical exam? Was there a validity assigned to that? Has a COPR # been issued (in the electronic systems)? I'm at a bit of a loss - if the medical exam was redone at their request, usually that indicates that they thought...

    What to say at the Border

    You won't qualify as common law without the 12 months, continuous, residing together. They won't care about your lease if you've had multiple gaps like this. (You could have extended your stay by application to IRCC, but too late now). If you care to apply soon, you'll need to get married...

    PR Renewal H&C Grounds - 730 days not completed - Paper Application Decision Made Status

    I interpreted the comment by OP ("I will be outside of Canada 997 days until December 15 2023") to mean total days until 15 december (which day count seems to work), i.e. that OP plans to leave on December 15 (because why else is December 15 relevant?). But the sentence is a bit fractured so...

    PR Renewal H&C Grounds - 730 days not completed - Paper Application Decision Made Status

    You CAN apply nine months before it expires, which should mean you can apply as of December 24, and as of today, you are still in compliance (because you have not yet been outside Canada more than 1095 days). 1095 days is the question they ask on the PR card renewal form, and the reason why is...

    Family class spouse sponsorship - Biometrics and Medical in canada?

    Up to you. Note my understanding is that you can't apply for the OWP until your spouse physically arrives in Canada.

    Family member

    Shouldn't be any reason for it to be a problem, if you've told the whole story.

    Family class spouse sponsorship - Biometrics and Medical in canada?

    Yes, it's ok, no, she would not have to go back for those. It's possible she would have to go back for an interview but it's a small percentage of applicants that have interviews (and many or most of those now done online). It's up to you and no-one can say for sure. It seems right now that...

    PR Renewal H&C Grounds - 730 days not completed - Paper Application Decision Made Status

    PRTD with expired PR card?

    Perhaps it would help if you made it clear, which can be done easily by stating: 'these are not things IRCC looks at for the PRTD application but you should keep in mind.' Or something similar. The things that 'need to be done' in general are not the things that need to be done to retain PR...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Note though that OWP can only be applied for with AOR AND TRV/already in Canada.

    Spousal sponsorship

    You must become a PR, which means landing in Canada (physically). You also need to sponsor your spouse from within Canada. You do not, however, need the PR card - the stamped COPR from landing will be enough. Note - you also have to remain in Canada as sponsor, short trips abroad are ok. She...
