    COPR/ Place of birth last letter missing

    Because it's not an important field and one letter off is either just a typo or space limitation. (Lots of people end up with different places of birth between different docs because names change and municipalities are often combined, etc)

    Language proficiency proof for citizenship

    I'm not aware of any specific public/private distinction, but it would be generally understood that the institution should have some formal accreditation as a degree-granting institution. (I can't say about 'diplomas', I don't know if that's a regulated term). I see/know ILAC has some type of...

    Common Law Sponsorship

    If you are common law (have been residing together >12 months and can document it), yes. You should file as common law. You would be well served to include information about the divorce process and be specific about when that relationship ended (best if specific dates eg when you stopped living...

    Has IRCC specifically requested this form?

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    This thread was started by someone else with a completely separate set of questions and issues, with important discussion about that. Since you're new to the internet: this is called thread hijacking and it's generally considered rude, because a distraction. Find a thread that's on-topic to...

    Invitation for Pre-Arrival services

    Because the online portal sucks.

    Editing my submitted application?

    I understand the forms to ask to list all full time employment. Occasional and short part time really secondary. Employment and 'what you're doing' is included here basically for two reasons: most importantly as some form of backup for physical presence (can be checked against other things for...

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    Okay. You'll want to be very clear with lawyer about exact timeline of all these things, including when you lived together, and what you communicated to IRCC.

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    Yes. Speak to a lawyer. One more question: when you said you 'mentioned' her - what did you mean?

    I wouldn't worry about it.

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    When they asked if you had a spouse and you had a partner with whom you had a kid - and perhaps living together? - you really should have checked.

    COPR/ Place of birth last letter missing

    I think completely irrelevant.

    Spousal sponsorship

    As sponsor, you can move at any time. For visitor visa: your spouse will need to apply, doesn't matter where you are. She'll include the AOR (or refer to it, I don't know exactly how that application procedure works) to show this is a family reunification (so-called).

    Spousal sponsorship

    Agree with the other poster, you can start now by applying outland (citizen abroad sponsoring). You will need to show some documentation of your 'intent to return' when applying. Since you already plan to go 'first', best is to advise IRCC as soon as you return to Canada (they will often follow...

    Can I get new passport while waiting for Sponsorship application ?

    Just apply. Lots of people have to renew or replace their passports during sponsorship. It's no big deal.

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    This is not your only problem. This is potentially a real problem. If you did not declare your wife, eg as unaccompanying, they could determine she was undeclared and then you would never be able to sponsor her. (You say 'mentioned' but don't know what that means) If you're not clear on this...

    Proof of living together while PA is a visitor

    You're correct, you can do other. Your reasoning to apply outland is correct. And yes, outland applicants now eligible for OWP. I don't see any problem at all with declaring that she is living with you if you apply when she is in Canada with you. That's what most do. If that's the plan, that...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Agree that your depiction of this as a statutory right is correct - not a charter right, but a statutory one. Mea culpa for misphrasing. There are, I believe, multiple definitions of privilege. Including rights granted (eg right to vote); an exemption from a burden or requirement (e.g...

    Apply to Ouland process for common-law sponsorpship while living in canada?

    Short form: go ahead and apply outland. It's by no means a guarantee of it being faster, but won't hurt either way. [Many here think those estimated time differences between inland/outland are a sort of statistical mistake. But we don't know for sure.]
