    Queries related to Form IMM5444 for PR renewal card

    3.5 - You answered your own question. 4.1 - Because these are addressed where you resided as your primary residence, you do NOT list places where you were staying whilst visiting someone. You capture that information in the Travel History section, showing the cities/countries you were visiting.

    PR Holder - Could I face any issues with PR renewal, or citizenship or in general?

    CBSA definitely knows that you are NOT in Canada.

    What exactly is "Eligibility"?

    The applicant becomes eligible (to have applied for spousal sponsorship) once the sponsor has been approved. Without an approved sponsor, the applicant would not be eligible for sponsorship...obviously. Reaching the all important AIP stage for the applicant is very good indeed. It usually means...

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    Yes, but it's the issue of whether or not the PGWP holder can continue to work under Maintained Status (Inland or Outland).

    Implied Status with OWP Under Family Class (Outland) Spousal Sponsorship?

    Maintained Status (formerly known as Implied Status) pertains to anyone that applies to extend their [current, legal] status before it expires. Since most PGWP's cannot be extended, it sometimes `muddies the water' since the PGWP may have to stop working if they do not receive their OWP (or PR)...

    Do we have enough proof to back our common law?

    Firstly, if you are applying as common-law...he is NOT your boyfriend! ;) 1. Not sure, but would suspect it's not a huge issue. Wait for others to offer comment. 2. No issue, because you are correct. 3. You do have to show how you will support him (for up to 3 years), since that's what you...

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship for Out of Status Applicant

    You're overthinking part of this. While it is true that you have to prove that you are living together in Canada...If you were trying to prove that you were living together as common-law, THEN you would have a burden. The fact that you are married, makes that burden much smaller. Just provide...

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship for Out of Status Applicant

    Keep this in mind: A consultant (or lawyer) will not be of any [real] value in terms of the overstay. The Public Policy works for those that have representation...and those that do this themselves. Many successful applicants had overstayed for MANY years. Get the application submitted ASAP. A...

    Lost PR status but still have PR Card validity

    Isn't the OP already (technically) in breach of the R.O.? As of today they only have ~ 11 months accrued. Still don't understand if PR was granted in June 2020, how the PR Card is valid until Aug 2026.

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship for Out of Status Applicant

    There have been discussions about this, since the Public Policy language does not clearly detail if more than one can be applied. My guess is that it is NOT limited to just one.

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship for Out of Status Applicant

    If the only `red flag' is that your husband overstayed and is now without status...you can do this yourselves and save a lot of money! The Inland application waives the requirement for having legal status. He will have to disclose that he overstayed, but will not be penalized for his mistake...

    Is this an AOR letter from IRCC?

    Unless things have changed (always possible)...It actually is AIP. AOR is simply the acknowledgement that the `package' has been received by IRCC. Nothing was opened and zero checks have been made to asses the information contained in the package...

    Is this an AOR letter from IRCC?

    No, it is AIP.

    For the renewal, when does PR card's 5 year cycle starts? from landing date or PR card issuance date?"

    It is the latter. The rolling 5-year window in meeting the Residency Obligation starts on the day that you became a PR. The date on your PR Card is irrelevant.

    Residency Obligations - Bank statements

    Unless things have changed, you only need to provide 2 pieces of evidence, so ONE (month) bank statement and ONE NOA will suffice. Ideally, these should be from different times within the 5 year assessment period.

    Letter of support or proof of relationship section for letters/affidavits from family and friends?

    Well...since your question indicates these are affidavits/letters from family and friends supporting our marriage...I think you've answered your own question. :)

    CANADA BORDER INTERVIEW

    I am curious about this in your 4th post in this thread: "...my husband has suffered mental health problems to the point he had to stopped to work before meeting me so I pray they will consider that,..." Since you stated (in a different post) that your asylum claim was denied, which led to you...
