    PR card renewal acknowledgement using Permanent Resident Portal

    Well, hard to say, you might get caught up in the "not enough winter" processing delay clause to ensure you get your share of snow like everyone else.

    PR card renewal acknowledgement using Permanent Resident Portal

    I don't have any direct insight into the process for doing the sorting into routine/fast vs not routine/slow (and I won't even venture to say that there are only two 'buckets' of treatment). That said: cross your fingers, I don't think the PRTD experience definitively means it will take that...

    PR card renewal acknowledgement using Permanent Resident Portal

    A lot of reports here that most 'standard' apps are getting the card in the mail before the tracker even shows anything. Also generally MUCH faster than people were getting AORs before they changed the system. You may think that 'stupid', but I think it's a trade-off most will take.

    Residency obligation

    We do not have perfect knowledge about reasons; there are some things we can infer - imperfectly. Large non-compliance without compelling H&C reasons - much higher chance of being reported. But your statements above that they're not issued at all or only for criminality etc are just wrong.

    PR Card Renewal; Residency days short

    Opinions are opinions, and I don't disagree with you that it is a low bar to meet, and the enforcement seems to be weak, and the test for H&C is - arguably at least - inconsistent / possibly overly generous. That said: your distaste for / opinion of is NOT the relevant point when someone is...

    PR Card Renewal application referred to Program Support

    Interesting. I'll have to check this thread to see about when you did this complaint. But there are two things in your story that are serious surprises to me: first, that they actually HAVE this 'flag removal team'. (It implies to me they've noticed the drag on resources checking old flags and...

    https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/kits/forms/cit0002/01-03-2025/cit0002e.pdf This says specifically in the section 10(b) about the police certificate that: You said "I’m planning to submit my citizenship application this month. I landed in Canada as a PR in April...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    If you get the oath ceremony in person, you may not have a choice. If you do: my personal preference is the paper. It looks nicer - and as best I can tell (eg passport office requirements), the new/recent paper ones have barcodes etc that mean they are equivalent of electronic. I cannot prove...

    It is not allowed to send passport by courier, any other options?

    Your spouse should check local resources as to what solutions are available. My best guess is that there is some local service or arrangement, OR possibly travel to somewhere nearby, courier/post it from there, and return. It may be more useful in this case if you specify which country.

    Check with the airline. They are the ones who will not let you board if you don't have the right docs.

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm only guessing here: likely 'paper file location' was originally used to mean something akin to primary office or first-office holding (after reception), and now that they've changed to electronic applications, they've not changed the names of some of the database names. In other words...

    Residency obligation

    No one can tell you that you are 'good to go.' You're not compliant. It's serious. That said: we can say, from posts here from others, you probably will be let in without too much trouble. In theory, they can write up the 44(1) report that starts process of you losing your PR status. They...

    Just wait a few more days. Yes, you'll get an email, but usually several days after the point where you could log in.

    Residency obligation

    Here's the better way to calculate: from the day you land until the five year anniversary of that day, you are IN COMPLIANCE if you have been OUTSIDE Canada LESS THAN 1095 days. (After that five year anniversary, same calculation, but looking back five years from any day they do the calcs) To...

    Good for you. My adult children liked it. And that may be an issue then - if you're not in a huge rush, I'm sure they do them in NB, I just haven't seen how often. (If it doesn't show up soon - ask your MP! How can they not have regular citizenship ceremonies?)

    Have you asked for an in-person ceremony? I don't think there is any geographic restriction for virtual ceremonies, except possibly time zone.

    I believe the site says - statutory is 30 days, they can advise they need an extra 30 days if jammed up. I don't think they often return them earlier.
