    PR Obligation | PNP | Moving out of province

    It is OK to take a job in another province . . . and resettle there . . . or even (since you have citizenship) in another country. OK for you. OK for anyone who supported or sponsored you. No expertise or knowledge of the MPNP rules in particular necessary, it is safe to say that if you...

    GCMS notes say 'I do not appear to meet physical presence requirement'. Referred to PS for review/decision. What to do now?

    xx @Seym states the gist of it. Except to say the outcome could be uncertain; you could wait and submit whatever is requested, attend hearings, and in a year or two, perhaps even longer, have the application rejected. The risk of rejection depends on the extent to which the record of...

    Residency Obligation not met

    Whether to come to Canada in your situation is a very personal decision. What is the better decision depends on many factors specific to you and your family. This is a decision for you and your spouse to make based on your best judgment, based on your personal circumstances. And yeah, not an...

    Residency Obligation not met

    I do not know how much weight it will carry but if the PR explains that part of the reason for not returning to Canada sooner was the parents' health situation, heart valve replacement or knee replacement or whatever, it MUST be considered in the H&C analysis. The question is not whether it is a...

    Residency Obligation not met

    For @rajesh0608 in particular . . . Is there a risk you will not be allowed to enter Canada when you arrive? No. A PR will be allowed to enter Canada. Question is whether you will be allowed to stay. That's more complicated. I address the procedure in observations below, but the gist of it...

    Residency Obligation not met

    Regarding inquiry by @rajesh0608 who has been (according to posts here) a PR of Canada for nearly three years, since early October 2022, who will be in breach of the Residency Obligation by the time they can return to Canada: Not sure why or what about posts by @rajesh0608 you have difficulty...

    Explanation of Address History Dates.. Urgent !!

    Generally a person's residential address continues until they establish a different address. There are exceptions, of course, including situations in which the person definitively no longer maintains their previous address and they do not establish a new residence. So unless the transient...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    As I noted before This is especially so in regards to cessation since the whole scheme connecting PR status to cessation is riddled with inconsistencies, many rooted in the underlying incongruity of linking what is intended to be permanent status (with the purpose of facilitating the...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    For those oriented to binary categorizing, and especially those oriented to a one side or the other perspective (such as IRCC is incompetent or inefficient versus asserting it is efficient and not incompetent), and particularly those who are not interested in figuring out whether in addition to...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    For those 2023 applicants not seeing any progress in the processing of their citizenship application, apprehending they are the subject of a security related investigatory referral (whether to CSIS or NSSD), but who are certain there is no cause, no real security issue, no basis for a...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    To be clear, I spend so much time addressing actual cases, citing actual facts, referencing and applying actual law, because some, including you, repeat falsehoods about the process, whereas for many it is important to deal with reality, particularly for those who come to this forum for...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Further observations in regards to the untrue claim: For clarity, and in anticipation of the BS (not a lot of BS, since soundbite BS is more likely) here are some additional references (just a sampling) to an extensive amount of transparency in what IRCC does when they receive an application...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    As noted, the following is not true: There are problems with the extent to which certain aspects of processing citizenship applications are confidential, as well as some in regards to instances or circumstances in which a person has limited access to personal information affecting their...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    FWIW . . . I have not tried to ascertain, let alone analyze or discuss the what or why in your particular case. Generally, in regards to what's happening in a particular case, I don't go there beyond what is more or less obvious, and particularly not into matters best sorted out in private, in...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Even though there are no apparent significantly off statements in the CityNews article titled "Immigration lawyers say rising number of CSIS security screenings causing delays," there is little useful information in the article; it illuminates rather little beyond the headline, and for those who...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Mea Culpa. Sorry, meant to cite and link the Federal Court of Appeal Bermudez decision (not the Federal Court): Bermudez v. Canada, 2016 FCA 131, https://canlii.ca/t/gr714 Too often I make mistakes (many far worse than grabbing the wrong citation from a collection of sources), so I very much...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Best guess: That alone, but depending some on just what service is involved, is not likely to trigger a cessation investigation or be a factor that makes much of a difference if the PR-refugee is being investigated for cessation based on other actions. But beyond that it can get complicated...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    The account of your experience is appreciated. I hope this goes well. Given some anecdotal reports from PR-refugees who have taken the oath despite a trip to their home country (seemingly credible accounts), and considering you made just one home country trip and it has been more than five...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Hopeful congratulations. Please let us know how it goes from here. If you are uncomfortable sharing details about your history related to the cessation investigation, I fully understand, for sure. But if you are willing to share more that would be appreciated, to share some details that would...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Your post is not true. @Ali.arshady is correct. For clarity: (In case there is any real interest in understanding how things work in a way that might actually help navigating the process, rather than spouting erroneous rhetoric.) There is NO right to citizenship as such in the Canadian...
