    Spousal sponsorship

    You really should read the instructions more carefully, notably here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp Select Mexico and you get this: So I read this to mean that what you have already is what you need. I don't mean the instructions comment to beat you up...

    How to choose / find a certified Translator company ?

    I agree that it can be done anywhere, but if you/partner will be settling in Quebec, it might be more convenient in future to have copies done by a Quebec based translator in French (if ever needed with provincial authorities). A very minor point. But the feds accept either, no issues.

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you received the AOR, it means they will not send it back to you. They may follow up foranything missing. Your suggested approach is the right way to proceed.

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    -You could try with what you have - if it's a short version of a first or middle name (or omission of patronymic?) they may accept as is. As far as I'm aware it is Canadian govt practice to allow dropping eg Russian patronymics - or indeed any 'middle name', which in Canadian legal terms is just...

    Transit via USA while travelling between India and Canada as a Canadian citizen

    Note that US customs/immigration may be done in the departing airport from Canada - depends on the airport.

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Not a meaningful discussion unless you are specific and clear about when you began living together, when you applied, when you became a PR, and when your relationship started (as a proper relationship). Saying you were 'not presenting yourselves publicly as a couple' makes it sound like you...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    These 'not started' things aren't reliable (or just as likely mean something else to IRCC, like when they have sent the invite). Nothing to stress about , it will show up in due course and you'll get the invitation emails, etc.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    I wasn't accusing you of that - just noting that the approach mentioned earlier in this thread isn't relevant.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    It's unfortunately not straightforward - and it may depend on which country/countries the marriages were in, and where you intend to marry. You can't simply rely upon the fact that IRCC won't know about it (as was suggested above, and I'm not saying that was good advice either) - because you...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Bluntly, read the instructions. Yes, people receive AOR when submitting without a PCC - IF they meet the criteria for not needing one.

    I was a fair bit more cautious in my statement about the likelihood, and I haven't gone through and re-read all the bits you've shared - so please don't over-interpret, nor think that I have special knowledge. I was not saying it is likely to get rejected, only that it is not obvious that the...

    sponsorship Withdrawal

    My view: you've already done what you can, now just wait. Blasting the forum with the same question in lots of different threads isn't necessary. Post once and just wait a bit.

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

    Your questions are very general. I'd recommend downloading the application package, read te instructions, and start filling it out. As for the specific info you gave: not enough info. The single biggest determinant that drives how the rest will be looked at, really, is whether you have been...

    I think you are overthinking this, if you don't mind me saying so. If you are applying under H&C, usually the only type of visa they would issue is RC-1. And as we've said above, if you get the visa coded RC-1 there is basically no issue. (If it comes back with some other code, then can ask)...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes, it's possible. Personally I'm increasingly skeptical the 'office' designations that they make have any specific meaning except some sub-specialization in certain steps (which may change any time) and for things physically located (eg in-person oath ceremonies). We got oath invites from...

    Citizenship application

    No, won't affect anything. Fairly common. 1125 days as PR good as means you qualify without the visitor days (not that there's anything wrong with that). Check carefully whether police clearance needed in your case. If you're not certain and it's not hard for you to get, won't hurt to include.

    Error in Physical Absence.

    WIthdrawing and resubmitting won't save any time and may make it worse when re-applying. Apparently those that have done this are pulled out of 'normal' checks and more carefully vetted. It may take longer because of your error, or perhaps not. You could submit a webform with corrections. I...
