    Documents to add common-law partner post-application

    For travel history free form should be fine. Even if there is a form and space for history, they usually say to add extra history that doesn't fit on an extra page. Anyways I think IMM5652 is something different...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    For what it's worth, I've been trying this link but wasn't able to successfully create my account until just now. And it's been almost two weeks since I got AOR.

    Residency obligation

    Sometimes if you get approved for a PRTD on H&C, you can safely apply for a PR card too. (Though agree with scylla's caution here.) Hmm. My understanding is if you are short on RO after H&C, you sometimes only get a one-year valid PR card that you then have to renew sooner. Your odds might be...

    PFL - MISREPRESENTATION - NOT MENTIONING COMMON LAW

    I agree with most of your post - especially the bit to lawyer up. (Of course I'm way too late to help OP anyways.) That said, I was in a similar situation. Created an EE profile as single (1), applied after getting ITA still as single (3), and then hit the one year mark to qualify as an...

    ONLINE PR RENEWAL CARD ASKING FOR COMMON-LAW STAT TO UPLOAD?

    Yup, you did so here, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/renewing-pr-card-online-but-its-asking-for-a-common-law-stat.870707/#post-11052125 From what OP posted in that thread, it seems like it's not required, and as such, the app should not be sent back just...

    Renewing PR Card online - but it's asking for a common law stat?

    Agree with this. However, just wanted to add, if it was me, then I probably would choose to go through the extra pain and submit the extra docs and all that. Particularly if those 100 days are all recent. My (low probability) fear would be that something goes awry with the current renewal and...

    Received PFL for PRTD Application - Need assistance

    In this situation, instead of going for a PRTD, it might have been better to fly back to the US and then try the land border first. The other thing that crosses my mind is - if we could go back in time and do this again, would it have been possible for one parent to stay in Canada and the other...

    If PRTD application under H&C considerations is rejected

    Agree with your post. Just wanted to explain on this point a bit. After doing some digging, I realized that my confusion comes from the Matter of T-, 6 I&N Dec. 638 (BIA 1955) - which I can't find a copy of right now but as explained on page 5 of...

    PR Card and Extension with 1.5 years left for RO

    From https://drivetest.ca/licences/expired-licences-renewals/ if has been expired for less than three years, you can renew it without the written test (you do need a vision test if it's been more than 12 months but someone who can't pass that shouldn't be driving anyways). And from the same...

    PR Card and Extension with 1.5 years left for RO

    The other question I'd have is: what do you need a Canadian DL for if you aren't returning to Canada? If you are returning to Canada, then return first and then figure out the DL once safely inside. Otherwise, I don't quite understand why one would need it.

    If PRTD application under H&C considerations is rejected

    Agreed 100%. Folks who aren't wonks or interested in the super wonky details can probably stop reading here. Interesting. I was under the impression that when presenting oneself at a POE, the legal fiction is that one is not yet in the country until actually admitted for entry. But of course...

    If PRTD application under H&C considerations is rejected

    To add to that great response, I suspect the reason that PRTD refusal rates are higher is because it's done by desk officers at IRCC who specialize in looking at this and have an unlimited amount of time to make a decision after considering all factors. When a CBSA officer makes the call at the...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    v Agreed. Think this was just OP's way of agreeing with your statement on not pushing the envelope - as OP won't, OP wants to warn others not to either if it's not too late for them to avoid it. (I.e. they should move to Canada NOW before they fail to meet RO rather than wait and let it fall...

    PR Card and Extension with 1.5 years left for RO

    Agree 100%. Of course if OP does want to return it's best to return ASAP - being six months short of RO is bad, but delaying and letting that get larger isn't going to help. As per the OP's link and https://www.ontario.ca/page/exchange-out-province-drivers-licence all that's needed is the...

    Urgent advice needed - I'm abroad approved PR but not PR card yet PR travel document advice

    Usually you show your passport and proof of PR, like the original or a copy of your CoPR or eCoPR. Since the Italian passport is tied to the PR I'd guess that's what you cross over with? Though perhaps it doesn't really matter - if Canada knows about both passports they are probably linked so...

    PR card recalled and seized?

    You quoted my entire post and don't single out a specific statement .. so I don't know which part you're referring to here. I'm happy to address it but you'd need to be more specific. I'm guessing you mean in the specific context of e.g. a pathway to PR or citizenship. This is true in terms of...

    PR card recalled and seized?

    Well that's my case, more or less. Granted that it'd likely have been shorter if not for covid. No, not a single day. Been a temporary foreign worker the whole time prior to PR since coming to Canada. You don't define a high income earner. For what it's worth I'm currently in the highest tax...

    PR card recalled and seized?

    More accurately, rather than CBSA posting, someone who posted there encountered a CBSA official (but unlike on this thread, we don't know where, just when) and that official gave more details to the individual. Indeed. It's good to hear that someone official supposedly agreed that the...
