    Withdraw and reapply?

    That is your choice but I believe the test for mandamus is excessively delayed or similar concept. Ten months - barely current estimated processing time. Mandamus timelines - think two-three or more standard deviations, not "more than average." This is to have chance of succeeding in...

    Remains up to you. I don't think anythng anyone here tells you is going to convince you either way.

    Withdraw and reapply?

    it is up to you. But you are assuming that the issue is your physical presence days, when you do not actual know. Timelines have gotten longer, ti seems, in recent months. And if you reapply - there are comments here that withdraw-and-reapply get pulled out of the regular stream and take longer...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    Can only suggest speak to a lawyer. If they recently got PR without declaring that kid as a dependant, would say chances are slim - they immigrated without claiming that the child is a dependant. (As it is - the base assumption in law is that children over 21 are not dependants) Not to mention...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    If the other parent cooperates with the medicals aspect, should all be smooth. (Biometrics possibly? Depends on age, IIRC). There will be a cost for the medicals. I won't guarantee 'no extra paperwork' but it shouldn't be onerous. I don't recall what else is needed, I think primarily birth...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    Declare the child. Seriously, declare the child. You will declare the child as unaccompanying - this means the child is not being sponsored now, but could be in future. If declared as unaccompanying, no need to demonstrate custody. The child will need to have a medical check - part of the...

    Should Principal Applicant include all children who are not dependent in form IMM 5406

    All children should be listed on the family information form. All children under 22 who are not already Canadian prs or citizens should be listed on the main application form as either accompanying or unaccompanying. Those over 22 who are not dependents (all over 21 except rare cases of eg...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Up to you but a switch is likely to take 3+ weeks, with not much clarity on when (it could well take much more than 3 weeks). So again: up to you.

    Parents don't have a marriage certificate For PGP 2025 Application

    Just write a short letter of explanation you don't have it. Doesn't matter much at this point since all you need (substantively) is proof your mother is your mother (birth certificate). (Other part of explanation is your parents would likely be fine under common law as well, but since your...

    Verification Of Status (Before Returning To Canada)

    I'm not personally so concerned about the domestic tuition rates thing, at least in cases where those that benefit from the tuition difference end up staying in Canada (lifelong, paying taxes, etc). The difference is a drop in the bucket. Sponsoring the parents later? Well, I think you know...

    Verification Of Status (Before Returning To Canada)

    Overall this is such a mess that it's a case where having a competent immigration lawyer would be worth it. And note: a mess that's almost entirely the fault of all concerned in the family. If the OP had simply submitted a PRTD application immediately on becoming 18 years old, when argument...

    First landing in Canada - question about list of 'accompanying goods'

    No, only for things that will remain. If asked, just say this is stuff you're keeping with you while you travel. You can actually file the goods to follow information when you actually arrive to reside in Canada, not just the so-called short landing. (Becoming a PR - administrative 'landing' -...
