    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    You applied slightly over two months ago. At this point, you're getting yourself wound up about nothing.

    Ha! Mea culpa. Indeed, Wednesday.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Most get it before but it does happen that some get it after the ceremony (I have no idea why). Given it's Thursday I'd just give it until Monday.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    My comment is: don't do this. It's misrepresentation. I disagree that this is zero risk. Up to you. I think it's a bad idea, and claims that there is no way to prove are ... stupid.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    I had assumed it was due to the new round of PGP invitations - which I gather are going out now. And that's why I think there's a deadline in October to submit.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    You're avoiding recognizing the part of your statement before: "A friend of mine told me that I can rent even a small room on Ottawa or something and change my driving license to be in Ontario." Which clearly meant a fake move. You shouldn't need to have all of these things done at the point...

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    Again, my point is only that you should completely move and not fart about with 'renting a room' and that as your 'friend' had suggested. Any games you play run risks for you. Not worth it - IMO. The rest is up to you.

    Up to you to decide. However you can order it direct from the govt for less money and not worry.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    If you are factually/substantively living in Quebec, then you will have to continue paying the 'additional' taxes (adjust) in Quebec. Which will be admitting that you reside there. And if you don't - you're not paying the taxes due in Quebec. And Quebec won't get the adjustment taxes they are...

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    I would NOT suggest playing games with this. If you move, move. Amongst other things, because it would change your tax residence and health insurance, etc., you would become liable for potential penalties on those points. And if IRCC checked, they would likely kick you back to the quebec queue...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    The reports on here so far have been quite positive - much easier, can do from home (except for getting photograph done), submission easy (online), and I think those who did it got passports 7-15 days after. And they don't require a guarantor. I don't know if that's a guarantee for delivery...

    If you were to do this, you'd need to change your address and some IDs and utilities for example to submit.

    September 2024 Citizenship Applications

    That's what they say. I don't know of anyone who's tested it by actually applying before that. Presumably this is just some time for staff to enter the final information in systems and the systems to (reliably) update. It's possible it's faster now than when they first set this up (i.e...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I am not certain precisely what is required in Turkey, although the requirements after a couple minutes of googling seem to me similar to much of Europe/post-soviet space. (Pls no-one take offence at my generalization). "Single certificate" since you are in Turkey - contact the consular section...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    It's true. It should be a 'corner case', a situation that in practice is quite rare.* And that's why I think that focussing on the 'accompanying spouse' PR rules should be way down the list of probabilities and priorities. In all these scenarios it doesn't apply to those who remain in Canada...

    ATIP Request for ICES Status

    I don't think there's a way to specifically ask if CBSA has fulfilled the ICES request. I suppose you could try. I'd just fill out the form asking for all that CBSA has, including related to immigration/IRCC.
