    Dual Citizenship Issues on Marriage Certificate

    Canada doesn't care if you have another citizenship, and won't be an issue as long as the boilerplate data (name/dob etc) match.

    PRTD application for a new immigrant

    Of course you can. This scenario is not unusual. Read the application and instructions and apply. When you do, you'll see that you are in compliance because you've not been out of Canada more than 1095 days since you (recently) became a PR. Simplest short rephrasing of the residency...

    Can't Find my Citizenship Certificate

    Usually the passport is enough. As in, I don't recall anyone being asked to provide the citizenship certificate if they provided a copy of passport. Also note: if they do ask for the certificate, it's possible a photocopy or scan will be enough. That said: don't be silly, order a certificate...

    Apply to extend your visit. (internet search will get you there).

    Sponsor spouse outside of Canada

    If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen, yes, it's feasible (doesn't need to come back to Canada to apply, either). Will probably be asked to update with info on preps to return (progress since applied) - so keep records of preps. (My suspicion is that IRCC will not think moving from USA is that...

    PR application / PRTD question

    It's relevant because many who apply for PRTDs have to do so because they do not have a PR card and were not in compliance with the residency obligation. No, it won't cause a problem with yours. They'll check to see the reason you had to apply for one, and will see the history.

    PR CARD RENEWAL 2025 August

    You can try to call IRCC to see if you can get the duplicates sorted out. My personal guess - somewhat informed, but a guess - is that it would be better to submit a webform to correct the error in the application that was accepted, rather than try to withdraw it. (My reasoning is that I think...

    Spousal sponsorship

    You were in a relationship and residing together from 2022. You were, therefore, common law from at least sometime in 2023. You became a PR after you were common-law, whether you realised it or not, and you were required to advise IRCC of a partner (married or common law) prior to becoming a PR...

    Spousal sponsorship

    1) It's possible. Dates matter, specifics matter, and you have not clarified when you became a PR and when you started your relationship. Honestly, suggest you speak to a lawyer. I want to emphasize: this is EXTREMELY important. If they decide you were common law before you became a PR, you...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I agree with what you wrote and particularly the frustration (family member has march application in hopper), but just note: you can submit as many webforms, MP questions, calls and follow-ups as you like. You can shout it from the mountaintops, complain to the press, bring it up with your...

    Proof of residency Documents - Queries

    You do not need to cover any particular 'timeline,' nor the entire time you've been in Canada. Just provide two documents - examples from their list - that show you were in Canada some of the time. You were already told two NOAs is good. Do that. Don't overthink it.

    Permanent resident renewal residency obligation requirements

    Just include two docs, whatever you have, and (in your case) a very short letter stating that she is elderly/doesn't work and hence not many other records. That should be enough.

    Citizenship certificate urgent request

    You can apply for a temporary validity passport before receiving the citizenship certificate: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/baby-born-in-india-to-canadian-father.200281/ Obviously minor parts of this may not apply to your case, sure you'll figure it out.

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    Sorry, you're going to have to use your own judgment. I repeat my comment from before that NOAs seems the most logical - as they will show if one has been living and working in Canada (for most applicants anyways). If for some reason you can't submit those - you decide what best demonstrates...

    Recieved PFL - Help!

    I don't have all that much different to add apart from the comments by @Naturgrl - since you've been and are dealing with a registered immigration consultant (this is what you mean by RCIS, yes?) and lawyers, they're your first line of help. Plus they know the details of your case, and no-one...

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    First: read the instructions and do that. And the tip part: when they ask for two pieces of 'proof', they mean some evidence that you have been residing in Canada. You do not need to 'prove' that you've been in Canada for every day in your residency obligation. Do not provide too much - just...
