    Illegitimate child

    I agree with what @scylla said but would state MUCH more strongly: the fact that the child lives in Canada (even when a citizen) does NOT mean that the mother will be able to come and live with him. The mother should not do this on that basis or understanding - she needs to understand that it...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    ^^This. If it has the code for secondary inspection, you WILL be sent to secondary. If not, probably not, but still could be.

    Residency Obligation 730 days

    Assuming you mean you've been in India already for a while (eg since before March-April 2025) and you remain until 2028 (more than 1095 days total looking back from day you arrive), you'll be out of compliance and risking PR status for the whole family. You may want to consider looking at other...

    Illegitimate child

    That timing difference - you already having become PR when the child was born - is the type of substantive difference I was referring to. Of course you didn't include an unborn child in your app, so that basically means no issue. Yes, IRCC will likely require DNA certificate and other...

    Question about Representative

    Not required if what she's doing is basically just checking and whatnot. You can include her as representative if you wish. You might do that if she's doing everything or if you want her to be able to communicate with IRCC on your behalf. More common is to have the sponsor be representative of...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    PM-01 is very much entry level, PM goes up to PM-07. So 'more senior than the lowest possible', sure. My guess is that PM-01 direct approval you refer to are ones that are cleared with zero issues/minimal review (even automatic). I wouldn't think PM3's are at all rare but is possible would mean...

    Return to Canada - PR

    Nothing wrong with that approach. Note that OWP app is after AOR and the applicant has arrived in Canada.

    Spousal sponsorship

    If it's an arranged marriage, don't apply until after completion of all the ceremonies.

    Return to Canada - PR

    Then she may have better chance of getting a TRV (assuming she's not from a visa waiver country). Otherwise all still basically the same.

    Return to Canada - PR

    As a PR, you cannot apply to sponsor your spouse abroad, you must physically be in Canada. You really only have one choice in near term: whether spouse applies for visa now or not. That has no significant impact if refused. If spouse gets visa, you can travel together and apply to sponsor...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I must have misunderstood your question. Yes, you may see other updates on tracker related to the oath ceremony (like the form notification you got), and those may duplicate emails you received. After the ceremony itself I think there are few updates.

    GCMS notes are IRCC's internal notes on the file; you have the right to order/access them under access to information policy: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

    Yes, during that period.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm not 100% certain but IIRC basically after the oath is scheduled, you won't see anything until 'complete' - and that may be some time after you do the oath and get citizenship and the certificate and all (not high priority to update for them - and you already have everything).

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Return at that point basically off the table - that's what the AOR means.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Potentially. We don't know. You should order gcms notes.

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    Completely meaningless and quite common. If you want to worry about nothing, this is one you can focus on.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Could be yes or no, not a given either way.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Nothing too significant, just a level of seniority for sign-off. PM03 is not terribly senior, but not a clerk or junior officer. Not meaningful in itself IMO.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I can't speak to your experiences, and every country is different - and one's situation in any given country can matter more (eg if relatively privileged). My point overall - from experience - is as I referred to above, one's expectations may not match local - not necessarily because one is...
