    September 2024 Citizenship Applications

    That's what they say. I don't know of anyone who's tested it by actually applying before that. Presumably this is just some time for staff to enter the final information in systems and the systems to (reliably) update. It's possible it's faster now than when they first set this up (i.e...

    Biometrics request. Which passport to use (old/new)?

    The biometrics instruction letter will have the necessary information (eg UCI#) for IRCC to link it to your file when submitted. So use either passport. It's usually a good idea to submit info about the new passport and scan of the biopage just for info - but it's not really that critical...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I am not certain precisely what is required in Turkey, although the requirements after a couple minutes of googling seem to me similar to much of Europe/post-soviet space. (Pls no-one take offence at my generalization). "Single certificate" since you are in Turkey - contact the consular section...

    Just wait. All likely fine. YOu'll get the email in due course.

    It's true. It should be a 'corner case', a situation that in practice is quite rare.* And that's why I think that focussing on the 'accompanying spouse' PR rules should be way down the list of probabilities and priorities. In all these scenarios it doesn't apply to those who remain in Canada...

    ATIP Request for ICES Status

    I don't think there's a way to specifically ask if CBSA has fulfilled the ICES request. I suppose you could try. I'd just fill out the form asking for all that CBSA has, including related to immigration/IRCC.

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    Go ahead and apply for the TRV now and then decide when/if it gets approved. If approved and child travels to Canada, you advise of change of address and that the child will be in Canada. Then when approved, you should get information on how to do virtual landing (or if you get PPR instead, you...

    Sponsor Eligibility Issue

    I don't believe so. They can ask you for it. The reason you didn't submit (time of year / no NOA yet) is pretty obvious.

    I'd just write 'travel plans' and not go into details. The reason they ask for a reason? Probably because there's a space in the form for it.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I agree with your advice/conclusion here, may as well split it if they're both abroad. I was mainly underlining the point from above, that no-one knows precisely how IRCC approaches 'accompanying', and it seems to have moved some over the years - and could easily be more strictly applied in...

    You put this far more succinctly than I did. I'll only add for clarity, the 1095 days physical presence 'clock' does stop as of the day you apply.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I think this is over-interpreting and would not at all be reliable - but more importantly it's several degrees of separation from reality, at present. I mean: you could find a lawyer willing to take your money to argue that. But the counter-argument is obvious, from a common law, substantive...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I do not have the answer to this, it's a question of what IRCC chooses to do (historically and going forward), and also court decisions (to extent there are any - and to be careful, I'm not sure that all decisions eg of IRCC tribunals are considered precedent). But the law provides only a...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    We do not know exactly. Some people see final decision immediately after COPR#, others have longer waits. I don't wish to guess. You can look at trackers and posts. Just be skeptical when you hear some say COPR# "means" final approval and just a matter of days - it happens, but is not the only...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    COPR# appearing on the portal does not automatically mean that the PPR comes x number of days after - it's just an internal allocation step. Time for the PPR after that varies quite a bit - although of course it is still a positive step.

    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JULY 2025

    I'm not saying it's perfect - and yes, the tracking system is bad. But a fast system as it seems to be now - and mostly reliable - is (IMO) better than great tracking and long waits. So sure - stress if you want (not that it serves any purpose). Just wait 30 days before you do. 30 days -...
