    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    These 'not started' things aren't reliable (or just as likely mean something else to IRCC, like when they have sent the invite). Nothing to stress about , it will show up in due course and you'll get the invitation emails, etc.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    I wasn't accusing you of that - just noting that the approach mentioned earlier in this thread isn't relevant.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    It's unfortunately not straightforward - and it may depend on which country/countries the marriages were in, and where you intend to marry. You can't simply rely upon the fact that IRCC won't know about it (as was suggested above, and I'm not saying that was good advice either) - because you...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Bluntly, read the instructions. Yes, people receive AOR when submitting without a PCC - IF they meet the criteria for not needing one.

    I was a fair bit more cautious in my statement about the likelihood, and I haven't gone through and re-read all the bits you've shared - so please don't over-interpret, nor think that I have special knowledge. I was not saying it is likely to get rejected, only that it is not obvious that the...

    sponsorship Withdrawal

    My view: you've already done what you can, now just wait. Blasting the forum with the same question in lots of different threads isn't necessary. Post once and just wait a bit.

    Seeking Advice for Spousal Sponsorship with Less Than 2 Years in a Relationship

    Your questions are very general. I'd recommend downloading the application package, read te instructions, and start filling it out. As for the specific info you gave: not enough info. The single biggest determinant that drives how the rest will be looked at, really, is whether you have been...

    Citizenship application

    I think you're over-worrying, it's not an issue.

    I think you are overthinking this, if you don't mind me saying so. If you are applying under H&C, usually the only type of visa they would issue is RC-1. And as we've said above, if you get the visa coded RC-1 there is basically no issue. (If it comes back with some other code, then can ask)...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes, it's possible. Personally I'm increasingly skeptical the 'office' designations that they make have any specific meaning except some sub-specialization in certain steps (which may change any time) and for things physically located (eg in-person oath ceremonies). We got oath invites from...

    Citizenship application

    No, won't affect anything. Fairly common. 1125 days as PR good as means you qualify without the visitor days (not that there's anything wrong with that). Check carefully whether police clearance needed in your case. If you're not certain and it's not hard for you to get, won't hurt to include.

    Error in Physical Absence.

    WIthdrawing and resubmitting won't save any time and may make it worse when re-applying. Apparently those that have done this are pulled out of 'normal' checks and more carefully vetted. It may take longer because of your error, or perhaps not. You could submit a webform with corrections. I...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    All govt emails from accounts like this are bilingual - and as you can see it has English too. Not specific to Quebec at all.

    Family and Friends know relationship

    Use your judgment. There's lots you can include to reduce necessity of all this other stuff. Yes, for those married with kids for years - eg photo of an anniversary party with family and cousins etc may do it. (Why get letters if they obviously are all at your family events?) Also: read the...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Screenshots somehow compiled on a single page for space, from one spouse okay - obviously assuming the other was responding.

    Online vs Paper applications

    Probably. Seems now that almost all applicants have moved to online, so we may not even have enough info to get reliable guesses.

    Online passport renewal

    I don't know about the extra $45. When renewing abroad, they typically let you keep/use your existing passport until the new one arrives, because they know most countries require a foreigner in the country to have a valid passport (and visa if needed). And also emergency travel, I guess. I...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm not really worried whether anyone wants to dsclose in more detail than I think is necessary. It is just my opinion. But as for the misrepresentation aspect: there is a basic background concept here of materiality. I'm not going to try to write an academic law textbook chapter on this, so...
