    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I would be worried that you might have a similar experience to Lovmena (two posts above yours) where everything looks good but the gov't basically sits on the application for a few years before having to be pushed to finish it... Good luck! Hope that situation doesn't come to light, and you get...

    Unlink Joint Applicaiton - Citizenship Application Delay

    To be fair, we might well have made the same decision over here. (This despite having a slightly less smooth experience with PR than you seem to have had.) The main reason we didn't is because my wife decided not to pursue citizenship at all. In fact, recently we had one person report having...

    Unlink Joint Applicaiton - Citizenship Application Delay

    Ah, yes, this makes sense. Personally, I'm of the kind that would like the excuse to celebrate twice, but I can see for others how this can be well worth the wait (presuming that the extra delay is reasonable and not surprising). Agreed, that bit I knew. Isn't that a bit different though? I...

    I want to apply for asylum in transit

    Canada's kinda far from most countries and not really connected geographically, aside from the US. So I'm hard pressed to even think of a scenario where Canada would be a valid transit place for someone traveling from Africa to elsewhere. Mostly where would makes sense is transiting from the...

    New proposed asylum rules

    Not sure what the big deal is. As per https://www.capradio.org/news/npr/story?storyid=1248787453 the turnout is very low even when it's allowed. From the sounds of it (and also see...

    Unlink Joint Applicaiton - Citizenship Application Delay

    OP, please keep us posted on how it goes! I don't understand the benefit of linking citizenship applications together. It seems like it has some negatives to it (such as OP's wife's case getting delayed due to being linked), but I can't think of any positives.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Just FYI it's on page three of this thread, or for a more direct link, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/april-2025-citizenship-applications.869454/page-3#post-11047599

    PR Card Renewal - Guidance

    The portal can be quite glitchy so, as long as you're confident that you submitted those details when you applied, I wouldn't worry. Probably some issue with some software update on their end. If details really are missing, hopefully they'll be reaching out to you. If you aren't sure if you...

    Name Order Mismatch Between Passport and Other Documents – Visa Concern

    I don't think there's an issue here. Chinese and Korean names are written natively with the surname first, so for example the famous cellist Yo-Yo Ma's name is written as 馬友友 which is Ma Yo Yo. As long as you don't have a document that disagrees - and explicitly says Bilal is the surname - I...

    Incorrect name on POE received

    He can still travel, but make sure he brings all the documentation with him. Perhaps a printout of IRCC's response about being unable to re-issue or make the correction would also help. At the POE they'll want to see the proof of his old surname and when/why it changed. Once they're convinced...

    please help with question about PR Travel document.

    So I'm not sure why you ignored the earlier post from OP where OP does exactly this. I'll reproduce it for you again, While it's true that the OP did have some responsibility here, I think the complaint is still justified. OP ended up in the same situation as Helen Bobat...

    please help with question about PR Travel document.

    Which is mostly harmless if it's just a reminder, agreed. They'll probably still get the email reminder. If they're unlucky enough to both lose the postal reminder (as a consequence of the strike) and the email (to spam folder or something) then hopefully their calendar app reminds them. Alas...

    please help with question about PR Travel document.

    Hence the postal mail suggestion as well. Why not both? Calendar app is not perfect, sometimes phones break. Or phones are turned off and the alert is missed. Maybe even someone switches from Android to iPhone and manually moves over events and misses a couple. The point is, if all of the...

    please help with question about PR Travel document.

    Yeah, understandable. How did this go? I do think that there are things that the gov't could do better here, like emailing and (postal) mailing reminders from Service Canada to remind folks when their PR cards will expire in a few months (we're required to keep our address up to date with IRCC...

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

    how did this relationship end in PR portal

    Could one upload various LOEs and documents showing that divorce proceedings are in process (or about to be started) along with supporting documents of separation like the aforementioned separation agreements and proof of living separately? Surely the portal isn't smart enough to recognize that...

    Expiry date of extended status in Citizenship application.

    Yep, but just to be extra clear - yes a short LOE in this case. My general understanding is that, as long as you add the LOE anything that gets past the computer is fine. A human will review and see you were truthful on the LOE, so there's no problem. You can justify it either way. Yes to...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    This is really interesting. When looking into Lorne Waldman I was reminded of your earlier post on this thread, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/refugee-status-cessation-and-prs-applying-for-citizenship.333455/post-10836543 That lead me to...
