    The Government of Canada introduces citizenship by descent legislation for Canadians

    The US has specific rules about not only how much time the parent must have spent living in the US but also I believe it has to be after a certain age, like 15 or 16 or something. So if the time in the US was all as a toddler, citizenship won't be passed down. Not sure I would agree that...

    2023 PR Applications Timeline (Protected Persons & Refugees)

    You can definitely try. I would personally try anything if I was located in Quebec. Do the petition through the official Quebec National Assembly site. Don't do change.org or other similar petitions. Find an MPP or two who are willing to back your petition. These would normally be opposition...

    Residency Obligation & Long Absence from Canada Before and During the 5-Year Period.

    Ultimately your absences are what they are. Report your residency days correctly and there shouldn't be an issue. Make sure you apply with a buffer. Don't apply with just 1095 days. That's a sure fire way to end up in secondary review.

    CBSA entry/exit record has missing entry - Possible because of using NEXUS card

    RQ means IRCC questions your residency days and you have to submit a ton of extra evidence to prove it. I don't believe my husband uploaded his nexus card. I don't think you need an explanation letter. You just need to state your travel records accurately.
