    Expiry date of extended status in Citizenship application.

    My own guess is that no, I do not think so. But: you haven't clarified whether you are using any days from your pre-PR time in Canada. That might be relevant, and if so, perhaps a short LOE (just say you applied for the extension/work permit/whatever but PR was approved and received before the...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Do you really need to ask the exact same question in four different threads within a few minutes of each other? Just wait a bit.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I am not convinced that 'primary processing office' means what is implied by your text. It seems to me that 'primary' is not a fixed office based on location but what part of file is most 'active' (what part is 'primary' now). In your case: it could be the prohibitions part that is held up, not...

    Special authorisation under 24 hours??

    I have not had to do this but have seen people here report them getting approved quick enough. That of course does not guarantee that it will be done in time. Important: you have applied for this to return to Canada, right?

    Expiry date of extended status in Citizenship application.

    Personally I'd put 'no' as you did not complete the extension of your work permit. I don't think there's anything problematic about this at all.

    PGP COPR

    Unless something has changed, they should have got COPR - contact the visa office.

    Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Then document what you can. For the rest, emphasize as much as possible time physically together. And note, far better not to say that you met for the first time when you got married. Write out a timeline for yourselves so that it's clear.

    Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Do you mean you went to high school together, at the same time? You'd have high school records, friends, acquaintances, family contacts. That will help. If not, it's a quite different situation, i.e. that you only met this year and married on first meeting.

    Travelling outside of Canada while waiting for first PR card

    You do have a point there.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Sorry - to clarify one bit. It's clearly not quite as simple as this, but in a way that boils down to (in my opinion, reading between lines) BG/prohibitions main decision point likely being done by same team (related tasks). Speculation follows: it's fairly clear they have some kind of...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    As responded on another, I presume BG and prohibitions run out of same team; don't know. I believe language and physical presence can be other offices.

    Personally I assume the BG and prohibitions are kept in same workgroup. Not sure though.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Someone got info from IRCC that Vancouver processes all BG checks for files. So in most cases, it's more likely that the background check is slow/stuck, rather than that 'Vancouver' (as in the regional office working on / allocated local files) is slow or stuck. Put differently: think of...

    Travelling outside of Canada while waiting for first PR card

    That visa will no longer be valid. You can either wait for the PR card (hpefully before you depart), have it couriered to you by someone in Canada, or apply for a PRTD as soon as you arrive in Europe. (Actually you can do all of these, not mutually exclusive). No, i can't guarantee those will...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Go here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/fees/pay.asp Select permanent residence, and then 'no' to the question that appears, "Are you paying the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF) for an application you’ve already submitted?" Then select the appropriate application type and fees.

    CSIS and CBSA notes for Background Check

    Given the reference to p1-p2, presume it's not actually a citizenship app.

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    I think that's you imagining things, bluntly. Wherever I have seen them put this, they describe them as estimates - not caps, not quotas, etc. Where they describe the other numbers as targets, they put these as estimates. Repeat, estimates. I see no verifiable evidence they are intentionally...

    Inland PR Holder parent doing sponsorship for child

    You haven't answered the question. Here's the math: if you became a PR in the last five years and have been OUTSIDE canada less than 1095 days since the day you became a PR, you are in compliance with the residency obligation. (If you became a PR more than five years ago, same but outside Canada...

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    Again: they do not have quotas or caps for rest of Canada. There's only an estimate.
