    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    I personally think the non-routine distinction is useless. But I don't know. I did not know about the CBSA correction process, but if I did, I would be as skeptical as I am now about the utility of it. In the specific case, there were two entries in a row, meaning (obviously) an exit was...

    translation of documents

    This information is incorrect - ignore this person, has no idea what they're talking about. Authentication is NOT a required step for all countries (indeed I'd say most). It MAY be required for some countries - but far from all.

    Indicate 1 or 2 years as common law

    If you are answering the question above, then ... answer the question above. The plain language is clear. IMO.

    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    Did not attempt to fix it. It did not specifically come up in the interview.

    Spousal sponsorship

    YOu've asked this in several threads. Just post in one and wait. Or better: read the instructions and checklist carefully while you wait.

    Spousal Sponsorship – Court / Civil Marriage Without Parents Present: Is This Okay?

    It's not about being 'Indian origin' but whether (primarily) it's an arranged marriage and to a lesser degree cultural expectations. I can't say for sure but from your explanation sounds like it shouldn't be a huge problem. That said: I can't recall whether it specifically asks for letters of...

    PROOF OF CONTACT

    It is in the checklist, the section for relationship proof. Section B, subsection 7, if you read down there is a part 'check here if you answered yes to all four questions.' In the sections above that there are other options of what to provide - just read this section carefully.

    Need Advice For A Unique Situation

    Personally I think this would be the simplest and cleanest, if they are not in a particular rush. Consider renouncing plus applying anew might take up to ~12 months in most cases - some possibly 18 months. Assuming no significant security or other issues. I'm not sure other approaches would...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I doubt it will be a problem if your citizenship certificate has it. Again, YMMV. BUT: it's your responsibility to insist on the name you consider you own. If you use some other name, consistently, common law basically will take over under simple principal 'the name you use is your name.'*...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Generally passport office is totally fine with dropping middle neames, esp if you have other docs without them. Just ask. YMMV of course but I had no trouble with this ages ago and renewing etc.

    I refer to the website as Xitter (choose your own pronunciation), so I propose "Xarted" in place of tweeted.

    Outland - Canadian Citizen + Aussie sponsorship

    I'd add only: if you do decide to get married, it does make sense to do it before applying - only because it makes the officer's job easier (common law requires a bit of judgment/subjective analysis). That said, not a big difference. And shouldn't make any difference to speak of in your case...

    Or it could be that all or most offices are 'processed' by Vancouver at the background/security stage, and so it's not "Vancouver" that is prone to delays, but the background/security clearances. See here...

    Is your application being processed by an office outside Canada? (required)

    What are you asking exactly? You have a communication that specifically states which office. Are you not clear whether that office is in Canada? The kumbaya maxim is that no question is stupid. But this seems to be testing the limits of that.

    SINP Residency and University outside of SK

    Sounds like you're looking for a different answer than the one's you've got. So to state it expiclitly: I've nothing to add, and no major disagreement. If you don't want to settle in SK, don't do PR through their provincial program.

    I don't think that's true - although applicants from ETA countries may not get separate visas. But even if it is true - why does it matter?
