    Child born abroad

    "Too long" for what purpose? Do as I suggested above - apply for citizenship certificate, keep a copy, go to consular section in country, and apply for passport. They will issue the passport - if everything in order - on basis the child is presumed a citizen in time for travel. Then travel to...

    Previous visa dates

    I still don't understand. What you need to do is check what is required in the citizenship forms. If they don't ask for your US visa dates (I'm not clear what you mean here either - do you mean the dates of validity of your US visas), you don't need them. And again - as far as I'm aware, they...

    Child born abroad

    Now note - as I stated above, if the intent/need is to get the child a passport, that can be done fairly quickly, depending on urgency. The key steps in most places - the constraint - will be getting the documents (birth certificate etc) needed locally.

    Previous visa dates

    You're posting in the wrong part of the forum - look up, this is the citizenship forum. Ignore my response above, I thought you were asking about citizenship. If you applied/interested in express entry - the name fo the sub-forum is express entry. (Funny how that works)...

    Not more than indicated above.

    Previous visa dates

    I don't know what you're looking for online. You can download the forms and the instruction guide and see whether it asks for these things. Try filling out the actual form, line by line. If it doesn't ask for those - that's the answer. (As far as I'm aware it does not)

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    I understand but this ended up leaving out the concept that dates older than five years 'drop off', as well as other calculation errors (potential). Then just say that - "dates on the PR card are not related to RO."

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    I think this formulation is confusing and misleading - it doesn't work for some period after the five-year anniversary (some days won't count), and it doesn't work before the first five year anniversary, either (days in future do count). So I'll (tiresomely) repeat the simplest accurate...

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    1) If you all stay until you have 730 in the five years prior to the date you apply, should be no issue. Each individual's application and compliance are considered separately. 2) Don't understand. Implication is you get a new card - that's it. I'll let others speak to your customs questions.

    Yes. It's quite common.

    Should be fine.

    There's no manual. Unfortunately.

    I was referring to the delay in your ATIP request for gcms notes.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I personally don't believe the 'not started' flag. I could be wrong. But it seems it's a flag (a 'bit') that is mapped variously to English in IRCC usage. I think more significant is when something changes (the flag being flipped). But just my opinion and I cannot 100% confirm what it means...

    COLOURED OR BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOCOPIES?

    If they don't specify, black and white is fine. If they specify colour - colour. As far as I'm aware, it's usually only when asked to submit copies of all pages of passport that they specify colour - but not certain. Note, since most applications are effectively now electronic - scan the stuff...

    Language skills as a native English speaker?

    You both/all can submit evidence of completing education (university or high school both qualify) in English language. I should think from UK that would just be whatever you have from either, they're going to understand the medium of instruction is English. Or for you the language test...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    There's an ombudsman, I believe, to whom you can complain, and your MP. They're at least supposed to advise you that they're taking an extra 30 days, and that 60 days the limit.

    My understanding is that the trackers for linked minors basically don't get updated - ignore those.

    Residency obligation for renewing PR

    Won't help. They don't do pre-approvals.

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    You can search and do a wee bit of research and find. My tip would be search for something like PM salary ranges, and compare to executive service. In short: PM01 is absolutely junior level (only lower is pm-development, which I guess is training). PM03 is not very high at all, as PM goes up to...
