    Visa renewal vs spousal sponsorship ?

    If your plan is not to permanently immigrate, don't apply for permanent residence. Apply when that is your intention. Hard for anyone to say, but if you've already got one, and have visited and left multiple times without issue, and nothing significantly has changed such as employment, your...

    Crossing into Canada by Land with Newborn (No Passport or Birth Certificate Yet)

    Obviously if the child is born in Canada, no issue, covered here. And if you move asap, I believe in Ontario you can still qualify for OHIP without a waiting period (do check as important). Main issue will be whether you can get in proper order with an OB/GYN in time, as cutting a bit close...

    Questions about Inland Sponsorship of Dependent Child Alone

    1-3. You seem to have read the instructions correctly, as far as I can tell. Just check them again and you should be fine. 4. Short trips should be fine. 5. PR card should be enough. Would suggest you order the VOS after you arrive just for your records/just in case. (A scan of COPR in most...

    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JULY 2025

    Repeatedly here, we see applicants getting no info and then it showing up in their mailboxes. No notice - but at least the service has been faster than ever. Just wait. Less than 30 days is great service. You submitted just over two weeks ago.

    Financial/Income Requirements for Inland Dependent Child Sponsorship

    5. No, not required. The rest: include some info, yes, pay stubs or employment contract from a current employer would be useful. No point in doing Canadian tax returns as a non-resident. If your employer has approved your continued employment on a remote basis, show that somehow (eg in contract).

    PR CARD RENEWAL APPLICATIONS JUNE 2025

    The hack is totally useless and gives incorrect information. Unfortunately currently the portal mostly doesn't give any useful information for those who have submitted and less than 30-60 days or so (and I'm not sure about after that). For those in compliance with the RO, they seem to get the...

    Queries related to Form IMM5444 for PR renewal card

    You already received an answer - from @Ponga - with which I happen to agree. You didn't like it. So do what you like.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I am only going by what is on the IRCC website for locations. And unfortunately, I've no idea what the practice was pre-covid.

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It's more than 60 days, unusual to not get at least AOR. Obviously should check spam email boxes etc as well. While not common, it's not unheard of for email addresses to be an issue. But I'd call to check on it.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    A good example. They only list (commonly) four municipalities in Ontario for in-person, two in GTA, Ottawa, and Kitchener. Kitchener does typically have them on mondays, so that would make sense. But I don't know if they invite people from Guelph to Kitchener ceremonies - easy enough by car, a...

    PR Card Issue Time - First card after COPR landing

    You'll have to look for reports from others. Basically 'normal' is ~30-60 days, some do get it sooner. Hope you have someone who can receive it. If so, they can send it to you - for some countries sending an official doc may not be accepted by courier companies. Or you can return via USA, or...

    You could try calling IRCC. Is your son a minor or applying as an adult?

    Where are you ? I think your hunch may be correct particularly if in a location that doesn't have a lot of in-person ceremonies.

    Crossing into Canada by Land with Newborn (No Passport or Birth Certificate Yet)

    There are different issues at play here - including what we don't know, which is why you have this plan at all. (Can you explain why?) -in Canada, are you already here and residing and compliant with the residency obligation? -US administration seems to be very actively against non-citizens...

    Apparently for minors the updates (or lack of them) doesn't mean that much, just pay attention to what's happening for the parents.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Note, he may want to contact IRCC in advance if he does not have PR card - one of the parts of the citizenship ceremony is submitting one's PR card (if in person) or cutting it up (online). I'm sure they have procedures for those without PR cards (you're not required to have one to apply for...
