    Do My Wife and I Need Separate PR portal Accounts for PR Card Renewal?

    Yes. In effect, these are two separate applications, you are each PRs in your own right.

    HELP PLEASE! Airline denied boarding with valid COPR (issued before March 18 2020)

    Why are you responding to a bunch of threads from years ago? Some weird legend-bulding strategy? AI training? When do you start spamming?

    Do I Need to Update Sponsor Address After Spousal PR Approved?

    Doesn't matter, they don't care about updating addresses after you land and are not tracking where you live.

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    I believe you missed the point in this that it seems to be about a dependent child *OVER* age 21. By standard IRCC approach, children over 21 are not dependants and cannot be sponsored. To extent there are exceptions - by definition exceptional and rare.

    Just Got Invited to a "New Citizenship-to-Passport Initiative Pilot Program" By IRCC

    Yep, there've only been a handful of reports here on experiences. Your approach is right: if you're not in a rush and you're not going to stress. It does save having to get the guarantor to sign, and a few other bits simplified (online, after all). Anyone freaking out about time to get the...

    Just Got Invited to a "New Citizenship-to-Passport Initiative Pilot Program" By IRCC

    As far as I'm aware a week of silence for the regular passport program is normal, too. Seems expectations went from "hope I get my passport in a couple months" to "what, it's been 24 hours and no confirmation it's been printed yet" very quickly.

    Supporting Attachments for inland spousal sponsorship

    Focus on showing you have lived together for the time period you claim. I would NOT worry about adding a lot of extra evidence about periods before that - except where the instructions tell you to do so. In a cover note/relationship explanation, you can just note the travels to see each other...

    Citizenship / Police certificate / clearance requirement

    Applied without. No issues. No need to attach the old one.

    Withdraw and reapply?

    That is your choice but I believe the test for mandamus is excessively delayed or similar concept. Ten months - barely current estimated processing time. Mandamus timelines - think two-three or more standard deviations, not "more than average." This is to have chance of succeeding in...

    Withdraw and reapply?

    Remains up to you. I don't think anythng anyone here tells you is going to convince you either way.

    Withdraw and reapply?

    it is up to you. But you are assuming that the issue is your physical presence days, when you do not actual know. Timelines have gotten longer, ti seems, in recent months. And if you reapply - there are comments here that withdraw-and-reapply get pulled out of the regular stream and take longer...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    Can only suggest speak to a lawyer. If they recently got PR without declaring that kid as a dependant, would say chances are slim - they immigrated without claiming that the child is a dependant. (As it is - the base assumption in law is that children over 21 are not dependants) Not to mention...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    If the other parent cooperates with the medicals aspect, should all be smooth. (Biometrics possibly? Depends on age, IIRC). There will be a cost for the medicals. I won't guarantee 'no extra paperwork' but it shouldn't be onerous. I don't recall what else is needed, I think primarily birth...

    Declaring spouce children from boyfriend

    Declare the child. Seriously, declare the child. You will declare the child as unaccompanying - this means the child is not being sponsored now, but could be in future. If declared as unaccompanying, no need to demonstrate custody. The child will need to have a medical check - part of the...

    Should Principal Applicant include all children who are not dependent in form IMM 5406

    All children should be listed on the family information form. All children under 22 who are not already Canadian prs or citizens should be listed on the main application form as either accompanying or unaccompanying. Those over 22 who are not dependents (all over 21 except rare cases of eg...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Up to you but a switch is likely to take 3+ weeks, with not much clarity on when (it could well take much more than 3 weeks). So again: up to you.

    Parents don't have a marriage certificate For PGP 2025 Application

    Just write a short letter of explanation you don't have it. Doesn't matter much at this point since all you need (substantively) is proof your mother is your mother (birth certificate). (Other part of explanation is your parents would likely be fine under common law as well, but since your...
