    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Canada doesn't care if you renew it now, or later, or never. It won't have any bearing on your citizenship app. You won't (obviously) be able to travel until you get your Canadian passport though. And you may need your home country passport to visit there (most countries require you to enter on...

    Quebec pausing new family sponsorship application until June 2026

    Yes, biometrics and medical checks can be done anywhere in the world, including from within Canada. (There may be a policy about not requesting medicals for those within Canada, idk). Police checks: whether these can be ordered remotely is not dependent on Canada, but the country from which the...

    Change of family situation

    It very much depends on context. If you were already a PR before the change in family situation, and didn't apply / sponsor anyone in the interim, you're not required to inform them at all (at least the scenarios I can think of).

    Canadian Citizen with Incorrect Last Name on Immigration Records

    I can't answer this question generically - there is no one single system in Canada for official names. (Apparently even within IRCC) What I'm telling you that matters in this instance: if you were issued a passport in your correct name, and have any supporting ID in the same name, you will be...

    Residency Obligation not met

    I do not understand your posts. Try to keep your posts split into short, clear sentences. Now, the important part: do you have a valid PR card and will the PR card still be valid when you travel to Canada? If so: I understand your concern is that you will not be in compliance when you return...

    Quebec pausing new family sponsorship application until June 2026

    I don't know the answer to your main question, but truth is they won't ask for new biometrics or police clearance once submitted (they can but don't that I'm aware of), and for medicals - they routinely extend for those in Canada and often for those abroad.* So at this stage, all we can say is...

    Explanation of Address History Dates.. Urgent !!

    I repeat: they do not care about your arrival elsewhere. You're only showing the dates you departed Canada/arrived in Canada and where you've travelled to - NOT your arrival date elsewhere. If that's not clear, suggest you hire a lawyer.

    Well, I disagree on that, but I admit I was referring to background + prohibitions as they're related.

    Explanation of Address History Dates.. Urgent !!

    Any day you were physically in Canada is the day you departed/left. They do not care where hyou were in between. In your case above: June 29 was in Canada. Other days - you weren't.

    Children OVER 21 years of age / i.e. 22 or more as of date of application (so-called lock-in date) are not eligible.* So as I stated: children OVER 21 are not eligible, children who ARE 21 years of age remain eligible - until they are OVER 21 years of age. *Applications returned due to...

    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JULY 2025

    You only need two pieces of evidence. Two NOAs would count. So would a paystub plus an NOA. Or one of those plus a copy of one of your leases. Don't overthink this.
