    If they provided instructions, do that. If not, webform.

    Didn’t list short part-time jobs in PR, should I add them in Citizenship application?

    Personally I don't think you need to include them, and don't think CRA records will be a concern. The information provided is primarily to demonstrate that you have the physical presence days in Canada, and very short-term jobs are mostly not relevant for this. You'll have to decide though.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Just respond (however indicated) by providing clearly your factual place of residence (and mailing address if different) and your spouse's. If you must use a separate mailing address for either, specify clearly.

    Citizenship application - Hire a lawyer vs Apply on my own

    Entirely up to you. But having responded to your PR card thread: you are definitely overthinking it for that. The 'proof' you have to submit is just some evidence of having resided here (or put differently, 'proof' can just mean evidence). Two pieces, that's it. They can and almost certainly...

    Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

    Good point. We can do them through mail, even if it's a bit slow, but I guess that doesn't work easily for Russia now.

    Citizenship application - Hire a lawyer vs Apply on my own

    Reasonable points. Poster had referred to concern about "due to failure to verify physical presence", which prompted my text. So it may be concern about something else, or it may be (misplaced) concern about how to prove physical presence - unless there's something specifically about physical...

    Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

    Enjoy. Georgia is wonderful. Understood, of course. I'm a bit surprised getting apostille done not possible through consulate, but I've not had to do anything like that (or at least not in a long time).

    Citizenship application - Hire a lawyer vs Apply on my own

    Vast majority of applicants prepare without a lawyer or assistance of any kind. Should you need later, you can hire a lawyer. As long as your physical presence is sufficient to meet residency obligation (730 days instead of 1095), it won't threaten your PR status (note that you have to remain...

    Child born abroad

    https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html IRCC says five months, but could be longer if outside Canada/USA. In practice, IRCC usually posts a timeline that covers about 80% of apps, and most of those are processed somewhat...

    Spouse Sponsorship Outland( Quebec)

    Quebec has stated their quota is full and are not even accepting new applications. You may want to search for the news announcement on that and see if it gives info about those announcements already being processed.

    Russia! As far as I'm aware other countries of former Soviet Union don't - but have not personally tried them all. Actually also Canada (provinces I'm aware of, anyway), but that doesn't help you. But now i do see that much of Europe requires birth certificates (and lots don't do marriages...

    Citizenship vs Renew PR Card - Questions on citizenship form

    No, I meant if you do not have a current passport (some don't). See may answer above - I don't see any need to explain that your hair has changed between different docs. You're not the first person to shave a beard/grow one. Correct, a PR card is not a travel document. No, you don't need a...

    Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

    That's rough. I would say I think in all cases that if it's possible to get married, it is the better way to go with spousal. Conjugal really was/is meant for those that cannot get married, for external reasons (ones not under their control).. I can say - having checked the docs - if you get...

    Be that as it may, I repeat my suggestion and comment that you need an immigration lawyer and not a consultant - IMO. Your call, of course.

    You can get to the full set of notes / table of contents here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/committees/secu-september-19-2024.html These are notes prepared - I presume from the text - for an appearance before the SECU by some departmental...

    Citizenship vs Renew PR Card - Questions on citizenship form

    2. Basically travel document is just passports for most applicants. (Some other docs like refugee travel docs but not your case, as I understand) 6. No need for explanations generally - if you didn't have a current passport may wish to explain that ("I haven't renewed it because not travelling"...

    Unemployed - Zero income NOA for residency proof

    My understanding is that each NOA can count as one piece of evidence. If you wish, you could submit one of any of the other types of evidence you suggest, really. Don't try to overdo it: it simply states pieces of evidence. Most common perhaps after NOAs is record of lease/ownership or...

    Same sex conjugal partner PR application refused - 2nd time

    I repeat the points I made above that there is NO justifiable reason for IRCC to contend that a sponsor should leave Canada in order to establish common law - it's an outrageous situation. If that goes further in this case, I would raise hell with my MP and get lawyers involved. Good luck. Is...
