    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Our posts crossed. As you can see (above), I think the talk about where one is from and which office is complete and utter nonsense. (Caveat: one possible exception is applicants applying from abroad, and I don't see a clear trend on that, either) Another "this can't be just a coincidence"...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ah. Remember, everyone applies (basically) through the same office - online, wherever they route that. A few (several?) months ago there was constant obsessions with 'what office is processing your file', and esp complaints that Vancouver is exceptionally slow. I think that question is now...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I am actually curious what you meant. To me it would be like asking about the applicant's height, shouldn't have any effect on the various steps.

    Short courtship before marriage

    Go through the form and see what types of proof are needed. If it's a genuine relationship and you're living together, shouldn't generally be a problem, just put together a good app.

    ALL Names in Native Language - IMM5406

    If you can fit it in the name field, do that eg Bob Smith (Боб Смит) - parentheses perhaps not needed if symbols or a dash or slash between or whatever. If not, do it on a separate piece of paper as an LOE. I have no view on how critical this is / for all people mentioned.

    What difference would that make? Canada.

    ADR - IMM5406 Requested Again?

    There always seems to be inconsistent decisions and application about this. Not much to do about it except return signed.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It will definitely delay things somewhat. How much is hard to guess, but longer if in a location with fewer in-person ceremonies (e.g. there are a lot in Toronto area, fewer in some areas). Up to you - if you're not in a rush, it is a nice ceremony. A family member did this in GTA earlier this...

    Calculating physical presence

    It's a difference of ~ a week. Wait until back in Canada.

    Changing address after eCoPR

    Call IRCC as soon as possible. Also would advise if at all possible monitoring old address as it could show up there.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Truth is, no-one knows. Those that are delayed beyond 12 months or so enter the twilight zone.

    PRTD Timelines

    This is not really a PRTD processing issue - it's passport submission and return. My understanding is that it's generally ballpark two weeks but quite a bit of variance (mostly between offices/geographical). Suggest you look for specific threads about how long this takes in India/Delhi office -...

    PR renewal for Spouse who hasn't met residency obligations

    I do overall agree that you should consider your options carefully. And getting a legal consultation may be useful, at least for some guidance. That said: I still largely think that the renounce-and-reapply (R&R for brevity) may be better, with some caveats such as when you and your spouse...

    PR renewal for Spouse who hasn't met residency obligations

    As a side note, you want to get started on this right away. I believe you'll have to renounce first AND wait to get confirmation it's been completed (perhaps a couple of months?). Then of course apply for spousal sponsorship, say 6-14 months (if not going to Quebec). Mind, she can apply for a...

    Proving cohabitation without joint lease/bills for a same-sex couple outside Canada

    I think you'll be fine - your approach is well-organized and if anything you probably have more than needed (but not excessive). Since you are married it's not that critical to demonstrate you are living together. I presume you have info from the relationship (photos etc) and a bit from the...

    PR renewal for Spouse who hasn't met residency obligations

    You could try to somehow renew the old, but if there is sufficient time, I think may be 'cleaner' and easier for her to renounce PR and then for you to sponsor.

    Living with Canadian Citizen abroad - Definition of accompanying

    That confirms most of what I've said - with one big BUT: the expiry date of the PR card is mostly relevant as ... date of expiry of the PR card. That's it. Obviously easier to travel with a PR card so not unimportant. But it is NOT your status and it does not represent your RO compliance...

    PR Card renewal- 25 days short for RO 730 days case

    I do not understand your case and I'm not going to go chasing all over the board to try to understand it. Youv'e posted randomly in other people's threads and I don't know who's who. Start a thread with your specific info, post there, and only there. To extent I do recall: my suggestion is...
