    Non-accompanying dependent (non custody)

    How old are the children? Over 18? Is there any chance that those children will sign a letter of some sort themselves simply saying they do not wish to submit and understnad this means they can never be sponsored? Anyway - responded also in other thread. I think you're doing everything you...

    PFL for Non-accompanying dependents (ages 19&20)

    I think this interpretation is wrong - there are of course H&C applications (the ones right now that are getting overloaded), but H&C relief (or leniency) is a general concept/process used all over in IRCC, including for non-compliance with the RO, etc - many are somewhat routine. This is the...

    I cannot find the Annex A anywhere...someone please help!

    It's just height and eye colour. Create a table - free format - where each applicant (eg principal applicant plus all children included in app) by name, date of birth, passport#, height, eye colour. Yes, Annex A is just a table, it is possible but difficult to find, and not worth the effort -...

    ALL Names in Native Language - IMM5406

    I was guessing likely Vietnamese. You'll have to use your judgment. My guess - not knowing the language - is that this is not that big a deal. If there are no common versions of names with different diacritics, or they're not considered 'different' names, it won't ultimately matter much -...

    ALL Names in Native Language - IMM5406

    I do not know which part you're referring to, exactly. International passports - in the 'English' machine-readable parts - generally exclude tone marks, diacriticals, and other (so-called) non-standard marks (it's an international standard). That's what I'd use for the 5406 'English' part for...

    Proving cohabitation without joint lease/bills for a same-sex couple outside Canada

    I can't say whether that will be enough or not. It's a good start - continue to prep etc. Other things would include preps that cover you, physical moving preparations (info gathering / correspondence), etc.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Our posts crossed. As you can see (above), I think the talk about where one is from and which office is complete and utter nonsense. (Caveat: one possible exception is applicants applying from abroad, and I don't see a clear trend on that, either) Another "this can't be just a coincidence"...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ah. Remember, everyone applies (basically) through the same office - online, wherever they route that. A few (several?) months ago there was constant obsessions with 'what office is processing your file', and esp complaints that Vancouver is exceptionally slow. I think that question is now...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I am actually curious what you meant. To me it would be like asking about the applicant's height, shouldn't have any effect on the various steps.

    Short courtship before marriage

    Go through the form and see what types of proof are needed. If it's a genuine relationship and you're living together, shouldn't generally be a problem, just put together a good app.

    ALL Names in Native Language - IMM5406

    If you can fit it in the name field, do that eg Bob Smith (Боб Смит) - parentheses perhaps not needed if symbols or a dash or slash between or whatever. If not, do it on a separate piece of paper as an LOE. I have no view on how critical this is / for all people mentioned.

    ADR - IMM5406 Requested Again?

    There always seems to be inconsistent decisions and application about this. Not much to do about it except return signed.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It will definitely delay things somewhat. How much is hard to guess, but longer if in a location with fewer in-person ceremonies (e.g. there are a lot in Toronto area, fewer in some areas). Up to you - if you're not in a rush, it is a nice ceremony. A family member did this in GTA earlier this...

    Changing address after eCoPR

    Call IRCC as soon as possible. Also would advise if at all possible monitoring old address as it could show up there.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Truth is, no-one knows. Those that are delayed beyond 12 months or so enter the twilight zone.
