    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I can't recall whether they specifically mentioned the increase in self-mandamus applications (although I think so). But it's something that's quite clear, that mandamus itself is immensely demanding on procedural and specific steps, as well as substance (you can't just say "it's taking a long...

    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JULY 2025

    Two NOAs is fine. A few bank statements is fine, not one for each year. Look at the instructions: it says two docs. Do that. Stop looking for more.

    What supporting documents can I provide to meet residency obligations?

    Do you have more than one NOA? That's enough.

    It can take up to a month for them to clear it. Nothing to worry about.

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    That would be my educated guess, yes. I suppose you always have the option of going on indirect flights. But after those points, no-one can really decide for you. Good luck.

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I understand where you're coming from (in it right now with my spouse). But current estimated processing time is 10 months. Fast applications (call it lucky if you wish) might get through in 4-5 months. It is too early for applicants from May to stress. There will be periods of a month or more...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    As I've explained - this scenario is quite common. I cannot say for certain about the OCI/Cdn Passport angle but: -airlines ask to see documents that show you will be admitted to the country you're travelling to. You then use that passport to enter the other country. I don't see why that would...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I fully understand your choice - I think it's a hard call with mandamus. I'm all for people trying, but it is hard to have visibility on whether it will serve any purpose. For what it's worth, I shared some info on a recent podcast - Borderlines - where practicing immigration lawyers were...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't have any inside information, but I don't think that's (likely to be) an accurate description - I don't think they're 'intentionally' sorting things this way, i.e. keeping the speed of new files same while 'clearing out' delayed files on a slow basis. It looks to me more like this...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    I hadn't seen that, thank you. Still doesn't make sense to me - US has no controls on departure at land borders, and I don't think there is passport control on departure, but if they say it, they say it- I just don't know what it means. Repeating what I said before: leaving a country is one...

    OCI application with second citizenship anticipated

    If I understood this was about this question: "If I later use a US passport to travel to India will I have any issues using my OCI to enter? (US citizens are required to use their US passport when leaving and entering the US, so travelling on the Canadian passport is not an option)." On most...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I think the info on the email that refers to 2-3 business days is that you (apparently) need to wait a few days after the ceremony before using the certificate to apply for a passport. Of course it might be that there is more than one period to wait after and we're not referring to the same thing.

    You applied slightly over two months ago. At this point, you're getting yourself wound up about nothing.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Most get it before but it does happen that some get it after the ceremony (I have no idea why). Given it's Thursday I'd just give it until Monday.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    My comment is: don't do this. It's misrepresentation. I disagree that this is zero risk. Up to you. I think it's a bad idea, and claims that there is no way to prove are ... stupid.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    I had assumed it was due to the new round of PGP invitations - which I gather are going out now. And that's why I think there's a deadline in October to submit.

    Quebecers! How Are You Dealing With This Spousal Sponsorship Plot Twist? Roll for Initiative…

    You're avoiding recognizing the part of your statement before: "A friend of mine told me that I can rent even a small room on Ottawa or something and change my driving license to be in Ontario." Which clearly meant a fake move. You shouldn't need to have all of these things done at the point...
