    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JUNE 2025

    The hack is totally useless and gives incorrect information. Unfortunately currently the portal mostly doesn't give any useful information for those who have submitted and less than 30-60 days or so (and I'm not sure about after that). For those in compliance with the RO, they seem to get the...

    Queries related to Form IMM5444 for PR renewal card

    You already received an answer - from @Ponga - with which I happen to agree. You didn't like it. So do what you like.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I am only going by what is on the IRCC website for locations. And unfortunately, I've no idea what the practice was pre-covid.

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It's more than 60 days, unusual to not get at least AOR. Obviously should check spam email boxes etc as well. While not common, it's not unheard of for email addresses to be an issue. But I'd call to check on it.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    A good example. They only list (commonly) four municipalities in Ontario for in-person, two in GTA, Ottawa, and Kitchener. Kitchener does typically have them on mondays, so that would make sense. But I don't know if they invite people from Guelph to Kitchener ceremonies - easy enough by car, a...

    PR Card Issue Time - First card after COPR landing

    You'll have to look for reports from others. Basically 'normal' is ~30-60 days, some do get it sooner. Hope you have someone who can receive it. If so, they can send it to you - for some countries sending an official doc may not be accepted by courier companies. Or you can return via USA, or...

    You could try calling IRCC. Is your son a minor or applying as an adult?

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Where are you ? I think your hunch may be correct particularly if in a location that doesn't have a lot of in-person ceremonies.

    Crossing into Canada by Land with Newborn (No Passport or Birth Certificate Yet)

    There are different issues at play here - including what we don't know, which is why you have this plan at all. (Can you explain why?) -in Canada, are you already here and residing and compliant with the residency obligation? -US administration seems to be very actively against non-citizens...

    Decision made not seen directly, I think everyone just infers that date when they put in the spreadsheet.

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Apparently for minors the updates (or lack of them) doesn't mean that much, just pay attention to what's happening for the parents.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Note, he may want to contact IRCC in advance if he does not have PR card - one of the parts of the citizenship ceremony is submitting one's PR card (if in person) or cutting it up (online). I'm sure they have procedures for those without PR cards (you're not required to have one to apply for...

    Is a foreign retirement pension taxed by CRA?

    Yes, I missed that. Still would suggest speaking to a professional. As I recall, SOME dual-tax agreements have special treatment for certain special accounts. Granted, probably not in this instance.

    Is a foreign retirement pension taxed by CRA?

    While I agree with the comments by others that your pension will be taxable income, worth noting that if you are paying tax on the pension payments in Brazil, you MAY be able to deduct the taxes paid at source from your taxes payable in Canada. Usually this depends on whether there is a...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    In both cases your spouse should enter HER name (the person taking legal responsibility for 'signing' for the minor's name must be entered, not the minor's). Do you have the PR card to include? yes, you can use the previous receipt.

    So in sum - the answer to this flurry of messages is "just wait a day or two before freaking", right?

    Spousal sponsorship

    No, but the application biometrics fee will need to be paid at some point for the child (if bios are required - they/re not taken for children under 14, I believe). [Note: I corrected my typo above just now, sorry if any confusion. Only biometrics fee would need to be paid for a...
