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

    Very important: why do you think she would have to leave? She is not required to have a current/valid PR card. She's a PR without one. The card is not the status. Just remain in Canada until in compliance, then apply. Yes, if there's some reason to apply before this, she can apply relying upon...

    PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED OCTOBER 2025

    This JSON inspect blah blah blah is completely unreliable. It is proven to give incorrect information. Here's (yet another) case of someone doing so and wasting everyone's time, and their own nerves...

    Question on 3 year of tax filing

    This isn't precisely correct - the requirement is 'to have filed taxes if needed.' See here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/adult-minor/who.html That said, the question of who needs to file is not (IMO) completely straightforward, and...

    Question on 3 year of tax filing

    There's a button for 'required to file'; in theory she can check that as she would have had no tax payable - presumably that is. (The requirement is to file taxes, I believe, when you owe - but also in some other specific circumstances). In my view it would probably be better for her to just do...

    PR Card renewal rejected

    It's not a 'glitch.' You were using an unsupported hack - the console/inspect thing - which is not intended to be used. It provides incorrect information because it is not supposed to be used. Bluntly, the hack is nonsense. Just because you CAN use an unsupported hack does not mean it's useful...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    "It depends." They might respond soon with new date if your trip abroad is relatively short; for those with longer or uncertain departures, they may tell you to advise them after you return (and then it will take longer). No, I can't say precisely how soon, nor what they consider 'short'...

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

    ^^ Strongly agree with this. Far more likely to work this way. @Dreamer889 : be sure to check carefully your arithmetic, as dates from early part of the period may start to 'drop off.' Simplest form: from date of application, count all days outside Canada from the date five years before (also...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    This is a very good point. Not that guarantors/references have to be in Canada or Canadian (suggestion: read the instructions carefully!), but anyone in this situation would be well advised to at least plan in advance how to get the required [everything] for the passport application. It'd be a...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It's actually not necessary to get the passport while in Canada (there is no passport control when departing Canada) - although it might be a lot easier than abroad, depending on circumstances. The important thing to keep in mind is that a Canadian citizen will need a Canadian passport to board...

    Citizenship vs Renew PR Card - Questions on citizenship form

    1. Some people think you must declare visitor statuses; I don't; decide. 2.3. Yes. 4. I would include both of these and if you don't have specifics, write a short letter of explanation that these two periods were while you were a minor and you think it was status of [dependent of a work visa...

    Sponsoring spouse and dependent children

    These cases are rather infrequent but ultimately - you are a PR in compliance, your spouse and one child renounced, as long as you meet other criteria for sponsorship and they to be sponsored, there's no particular issue. (I'm not sure what the LOE is for but presume it makes sense). How long...

    Spousal sponsorship

    2 & 3: It remains an 'outland' application but once the applicant is in Canada, there's no longer many significant differences. 5. "Where it is processed" is wherever IRCC chooses to do it. Neither inland nor outland automatically change that, nor does arriving in Canada change how they process...

    Help with application

    I'd do the LOE, yes, no need to be worried about it though.

    Bringing child born to PRs / RO issues

    1. Yes, can apply for a TRV in advance. Can't tell you if it will be granted. 2. You can't satisfy the RO at this point. To do so, you'll have to stay in Canada for two years straight. (There is a risk of issues upon entry but probably not super-high). 3. You cannot secure your child's PR status...

    Sponsoring spouse and dependent children

    They had previously withdrawn their own application - what type of application? To become PRs? Were they declared on your own application to become a PR? It probably isn't an issue that can just be addressed with a short letter of explanation, but I'm really not clear on circumstances.

    Updating address with NDVO after spouse moves to Canada on visitor visa

    That would seem logical.

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    This is only my opinion, so you'll have to decide for yourself, but: if you are determined to wait until your partner can travel with you, and it's tenable (even if not fun) for you to wait it out another month or so (until a bit after your 12-month period), then I would apply as common law...

    Updating address with NDVO after spouse moves to Canada on visitor visa

    Submit a webform. It will be recorded in the system eventually, but IRCC won't notify you.

    non-routine applicants communication Threads

    I think you should consider mandamus, but order GCMS notes (IRCC and CBSA) first and also call IRCC and ask what situation. If you've already done these (recently), time to look for a mandamus lawyer. (If not recently, update) Citizenship file from Feb 2022 - good candidate for mandamus...

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    I'd suggest a short letter of explanation that this is why you have not been able to be married. Given these circumstances, and well explained (as above), I doubt you will have any troubles with the examination by IRCC of your common law evidence. (I.e. the inferences I suggested are possible...
