    PR card renewal obligations

    No. They ask for two pieces of evidence - provide two pieces of evidence. Don't provide a thick book - provide what they ask for. The idea is NOT to provide accounting for as many days as possible - the idea is to provide truthful, credible information in the form, and some basic evidence of...

    PR Sponsored Spouse wants to Separate

    She is not required to renounce her PR and indeed, whether she renounces it or not, that has no bearing on whether you will have any ties. What will determine any (legal) ties you two will have is whether your marriage is dissolved legally (e.g. by divorce). That's it.* As far as I'm aware...

    Different name on passport and PR

    Will you have a document of any kind that says something like "legal change of name"? What document will there be?

    PR Card Renewal – Urgent Processing Submitted Sept 23, Travel Oct 20 — Advice & Reassurance Needed

    The bolded bits above contradict each other. There is no-one for whom a 250-page PDF makes it 'easy to review.' But what's done is done. 1. If you had checked the forum here entitled 'permanent residency obligations', you'd have seen that many have their applications go through quite quickly...

    1 & 2. - Just simple explanations, you do not have documents and do not know exact DOBs and other dates. 3. Yes.

    Question about updating marital status in my PR application

    I don't know your situation with the H&C application - so take these points with caution and speak to a lawyer (esp if you already have one) if you are uncertain. Important question: when you say you 'entered into a common-law relationship', do you mean you began living with each other...

    Getting married after AOR – How to add spouse to PR application?

    Suggest better to post in the forum which has her application type (EE?) as well. 1. Yes. 2. She will need to update all docs submitted (eg IMM0008) in revised form, including you. You will need to provide the docs you would have provided had you been included in the beginning (yes...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    If that 183 day period was prior to moving to Canada and becoming a PR, no, you don't need one.

    Clarification on open work permit for spousal application

    It covers outland as well. It used to be only inland. It was changed.

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    I agree that some info will say this, and some others will contradict. I'm working from intuition/experience with other institutions: what I'd call a cascading approval hierarchy, but I'm sure there are other names for it. Lending and investment companies (banks etc) use similar hierarchies...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't think the risk is that high in this case, you're already ahead of others in that hyou thought about it.

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Well it looks legitimate overall, in that the email does appear to be an official one and you can find info on internet suggesting a person with that name works for govt (I'd suggest NOT clicking on the link or just replying but typing in the email, because there are ways to spoof that). But...

    PR commuting to the US for work while sponsoring spouse for inland PR

    What is your status in Canada and do you need some new/continuing type of status (i.e. based on the spousal sponsorship)? Or do you have a status that is good for the expected processing time (e.g. 12 months or so)? Because two possibilities (not the only ones): 1) Apply as...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    My understanding - based both on where this note was found (IRCC website, not a HoC committee site) and familiarity with the form: this "if pressed" makes clear this is a briefing note for 'an official' - i.e. the Minister, a deputy minister, or other senior- in this case testifying (or...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    One small point to add to this: I feel at least somewhat confident in saying that - while not a formal H&C 'reason' - IRCC officers are quite aware that a PR who is married to a Canadian can (and likely will) be sponsored again, and likely approved (eventually). In other words, revoking PR...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    To recall, just for clarity, @Maple66 wrote this: Overall I am going from the gut that they are not attempting to play 'gotcha' in this suggestion. I could be wrong - so why I support the suggestion about speaking to a lawyer. One VERY important point: it appears that @Maple66 is in Canada and...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I do not 'know.' My reading is simplistic: it seems to mean a grant interview needed, and it should be in-person. No idea more than that.

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    It's up to you. They use the tax history primarily to confirm physical presence. If physical presence confirmed otherwise, a few days won't likely be relevant. If the casual employment was irrelevant to the PR application (which would usually be the case, I believe) there should be no...

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    No. Don't believe entirely necessary to mention these very short term casual jobs for citizenship application, though. Your decision.
