    CANADA BORDER INTERVIEW

    You don't need to bring, or provide, any additional evidence to your lawyer! IRCC will ask for more if they are doubting your relationship with the sponsor. Your lawyer needs to guide you on how to deal with CBSA right now, not IRCC. Good luck!

    Residency obligation

    Thinks like, banking records (only need one statement, not 5 years worth), membership to a local gym, lease or rental agreement; basically anything that shows you have resided in Canada in the 5 year window, looking back from the day you submit the application.

    OWP, illegal work and public policy protection

    You're going to elevate the angst by posting the same question in multiple places!

It's possible...that the PR will be approved...
