    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    That may be easier but up to you. I see no harm in trying if you can present reasonable documentation that you use your 'new' name, such as revised IDs. But no guarantees.

    Expired PR, Residency obligations not met

    Reasonable points. Agree with your bolded point - very hard to know if this will substantively delay PR card (because already rather varied experiences).

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/first-passport-with-new-legal-name-but-old-name-on-ids.870645/ Not every case is identical. Generally if you have new Canadian-issued ID (esp photo ID) in a 'new' name, you can get IRCC to accept it. Not always. This is...

    Question to people with in-person Oath Ceremony

    My answer depends on what is in the instructions. Read them carefully. Then do that.

    Search for change of name. That's what you're doing.

    Question to people with in-person Oath Ceremony

    "Somewhere online" = bullshit. Go by instructions.

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Just bump that one. No need to wait a month, no need to spam multiple threads. And while you're waiting: read other threads and research. This has been answered dozens of times. Figure it out.

    Inland spousal sponsorship

    On that I agree, I did read yours to mean applying only after moving to Newfoundland (and it seems we agree perhaps not necessary although could be beneficial - we still have very little info on how much IRCC is 'checking' on this issue).

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Just post your question once and wait a bit. No need to spam multiple threads with it.

    PR Obligation | PNP | Moving out of province

    "Some thread" / "I heard it on facebook" are notoriously suspect sources. In other words: I don't think it's a rule, and indeed think it's bullshit.

    Expired PR, Residency obligations not met

    Really any of the docs you have will support your case - at border, they may glance at them, but probably won't examine in detail. Yes, PRTD application will be required if flying. The advantage of the PRTD application is that it will amount to a sort of pre-approval of the basis for your...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Honest question, why only the paid version here? I've done the other one recently, no issues, got it in thirty days.

    Inland spousal sponsorship

    I do not know.

    Expired PR, Residency obligations not met

    Then your time together in USA should count towards the residency obligation.* You can return together, explain at border now returning, and apply for PR card upon arrival. You will see a section where you include time together abroad. One caveat, it may take some time to get the PR card, and...

    Inland spousal sponsorship

    If you apply before you are living together - outland. @canuck78 suggests only applying after spouse moves to Newfoundland. I do not know whether that is best (or not) - but would suggest he move as soon as feasible (whether or not applying before) and advise them as soon as move is complete...

    Spousal sponsorship-divorced

    It's very common and nothing to worry about. Main thing is that the divorces are finalized and documented properly, and the current relationship can be shown to be genuine.

    PR card Renewal

    The card is not your status, and the card does not attest to you being in compliance with the residency obligation. The obligation does not 'end' or begin in five year chunks. In my view the best way to udnerstand and look at it is this: at any date, looking back five years, if you have been...

    Inland application would like to travel out of Canada.

    You'll have to contact IRCC to know how to proceed. This is new. I'm fairly confident that you'll not have to pay again but haven't heard the mechanics of what exactly happens yet./

    Remarriage after divorce

    Assuming eligible in all other respects (are you married? getting married?), the previous relationship won't have any bearing other than checking that the new relationship is genuine.

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    There have been several reports I've seen here, most quite positive. Caveats: it's a pilot, so if you're going to be very concerned about your passport timing and/or freak if the trackers don't provide perfect info, don't do it. It's a pilot. It may not work well for everyone. The online...
