    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    This is more or less the situation I was referring to as cases where I don't think providing extra information is really necessary, esp since you had well over 1095. Everyone's welcome to decide for themselves, of course. I just doubt it adds much and (if anything) more work for the officer and...

    I disagree on the part I bolded. This attempt of yours just reiterates - in a different context - the idea that because some countries represent 'more' of the total % of immigrants (or recent immigrants or something), that they therefore represent 'more' (implied some unfair level of 'more') of...

    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    To clarify: I'm talking about what to provide when you apply. Provide what is required in the forms. That's it. Try not to complicate it. There are some circumstances - rare - when it might make sense to provide a bit more information. (My spouse's happened to be one - because we'd checked...

    Appendix A form-Updated Information Chart(passport submission)

    VFS informed they just needed it in a tabular format, and since there were four getting COPRs, it wasn't complicated to do it that way.

    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    The real answer is: are you asked to submit this information? If not, do not submit them. What you ARE required to do is submit your OWN record (true record of course) of your travels. That's it.

    Citizenship application

    I do not understand your question. Someone by law is considered 18 on their 18th birthday. My understanding is that they evaluate this as of the day the application is submitted (if returned as incomplete, will be the date a complete submission is submitted).

    PGP 2025

    I agree with your overall point. I mostly just wanted to underline that it's not so simple on a lot of levels, and would have a tendency to lead to some complicated policies to make it 'work' at a level that many would expect, and potentially have a lot of admin and overhead costs or require...

    PGP 2025

    This assertion that sponsored parents 'often' bring significant resources - how do you know this? Is there any way to check this? It's certainly not a requirement, and the LICO and other factors are low. I have never seen ANY publication that even attempts to show overall that parents sponsored...

    And what is the minimum amount to invest? How to ensure it's all invested domestically, not tax advantaged? Is that money locked in? I mean bluntly - how much does CRA truly control/make sure that all world income / assets properly accounted for? There are filing requirements, but we pretty...

    No, not an issue - they can take it anywhere in the world.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I didn't realize this was about the test. They're not trying to trick you up with the right document - they just need to confirm the person taking the test is the citizenship candidate.

    Outland Spousal sponsorship situation

    In communications with IRCC, I would not emphasize your plans to do a traditional wedding in future. That's your business. You don't want to give the impression that the wedding you're doing now is in any way not 'real.' It's important you show this is your wedding. The main one. Yes, you're...

    Physical presence calculation mistake

    I don't know the fees situation (trust others on that), but you may as well withdraw if you think the 1088 days is correct.

    Lack of Photos

    You really don't need to overdo this. Go through the checklist - carefully. Then do it three times more. Provide EXACTLY what they request. Don't overload them with 15-20 years. Provide a little bit more only if it fills in some blanks. Bluntly, your case sounds dead simple. Couples that are...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I think the key thing here is not the PM03 (that still sounds to me like routine clearance authority), but the LPP 'not started.' Seems to me the meaning here is more clearly that grant review will be ready when the 'prohibitions' part (security related components) is done. I'm assuming -...

    Lack of Photos

    Look at the checklist document (imm5533 if I remember correctly, section 7 - proof of relationship to sponsor). In short, if you live together (and have supporting docs), have children together, first marriage for both, and married two years or more, you don't have to provide additional...

    Spousal sponsorship

    No, applicants (even outland applicants) can be 'landed' virtually in Canada, without requiring travel back to home country.* The process is to inform IRCC of change of address to Canada when the principal applicant arrives in Canada. *IRCC can require personal interview in home country...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Using your visitor visa by travelling to Canada won't 'shift' you onto the inland timeline. Other than that, up to you.

    ECOPR

    If you got eCOPR, you are already a PR. The eCOPR will be a permanent record of when you became a PR - but in practice after getting PR card, you'll probably never use it again. No, don't need to change ecopr or PR card when you get a new passport.
