    Citizenship application

    I think you're over-worrying, it's not an issue.

    I think you are overthinking this, if you don't mind me saying so. If you are applying under H&C, usually the only type of visa they would issue is RC-1. And as we've said above, if you get the visa coded RC-1 there is basically no issue. (If it comes back with some other code, then can ask)...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes, it's possible. Personally I'm increasingly skeptical the 'office' designations that they make have any specific meaning except some sub-specialization in certain steps (which may change any time) and for things physically located (eg in-person oath ceremonies). We got oath invites from...

    Citizenship application

    No, won't affect anything. Fairly common. 1125 days as PR good as means you qualify without the visitor days (not that there's anything wrong with that). Check carefully whether police clearance needed in your case. If you're not certain and it's not hard for you to get, won't hurt to include.

    Error in Physical Absence.

    WIthdrawing and resubmitting won't save any time and may make it worse when re-applying. Apparently those that have done this are pulled out of 'normal' checks and more carefully vetted. It may take longer because of your error, or perhaps not. You could submit a webform with corrections. I...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    All govt emails from accounts like this are bilingual - and as you can see it has English too. Not specific to Quebec at all.

    Family and Friends know relationship

    Use your judgment. There's lots you can include to reduce necessity of all this other stuff. Yes, for those married with kids for years - eg photo of an anniversary party with family and cousins etc may do it. (Why get letters if they obviously are all at your family events?) Also: read the...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Screenshots somehow compiled on a single page for space, from one spouse okay - obviously assuming the other was responding.

    Yes.

    Online vs Paper applications

    Probably. Seems now that almost all applicants have moved to online, so we may not even have enough info to get reliable guesses.

    Online passport renewal

    I don't know about the extra $45. When renewing abroad, they typically let you keep/use your existing passport until the new one arrives, because they know most countries require a foreigner in the country to have a valid passport (and visa if needed). And also emergency travel, I guess. I...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm not really worried whether anyone wants to dsclose in more detail than I think is necessary. It is just my opinion. But as for the misrepresentation aspect: there is a basic background concept here of materiality. I'm not going to try to write an academic law textbook chapter on this, so...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Often it's the opposite order. No-one will know the exact timeframe. But it should be fairly quick (week or so?).

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Sometimes communications from IRCC come in different order than expected. Wait a few days, maybe a few more since weekend - the oath in tracker and invitation are likely coming soon enough.

    Online passport renewal

    I believe it's best to leave it blank.

    Online passport renewal

    Check carefully. I believe the online renewal is only for those physically in Canada. There are also other eligibility requirements. 2. Don't know. 3. I think parents are entered separately? 4. Of course not.

    I have not been in this situation myself.

    PR Card renewal time line March 2025 - delay in printing/mailing the card

    It seems for many that are applying with sufficient days in Canada / in compliance, they get their card back before the system even gets updated. I'd say wait until one month after you applied.

    Fair point. If you get a PRTD with the RC-1 code, you can apply for a PR card without serious concern that there will be a problem.

    Expired PR card crossing borders and CBSA asked to contact IRCC

    I am not the person. I think if you read above you will see some updates.
