    Spousal sponsorship

    The names are written in English (as in eg your passport). On the form, the first time names are entered, enter in English and in Hindi. Basically they want the local script version so as to be able to compare documents and have the 'correct' name in local script (since English versions of...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    I believe the OP meant that they have a valid PR card. In which case, no reason to think will not be allowed to board (RO compliance is NOT something for which no-board instructions are given).

    PROTECTED PERSON APPLYING FOR PR IN CANADA

    Strongly suggest seeing a lawyer - making mistakes on this could have bad consequences. It may make things easier for lawyer and save time if he has a criminal records check run through police to be able to show the lawyer what is currently on the record.

    Virtual Landing Questions

    You need to update her address when she arrives. If she gets the passport request before departing, she can either submit the passport and wait (and therefore land as a PR) or depart and request virtual landing (once in Canada). It may be faster and more certain timing to submit the passport...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    THey should use your name as you request it (fill in the forms etc) as long as you provide the supporting evidence. If they don't though - no big deal, you can still apply for passport with updated name (use marriage cert). And then update the citizenship certificate if you really want (or do...

    PR Renewal applications April 2025

    You are using this inspect-tool-explore hack? Here's the secret: It's not supported. it's bullshit. It doesn't work. It gives incorrect information. Stop using it. If you call, they won't know what you're talking about because: see above.

    Marital Status

    No. It's not a critical part of the citizenship app, but for background checking. Choose whatever is closest. If there is an option for separated, doesn't require a legal doc.

    Residency Obligation 730 days

    Whether your PR card is valid or not, you have the right to work. You provide your employer the SIN. Since when you arrive your PR card will still be valid, no issue. When you arrive with your still-valid, you should get health cards and driver's licences (or provincial photo-card for...

    Illegitimate child

    As long as sponsored before he reaches 22 years of age. (Standard caveat that doing close to 22nd birthday means increased risk of technical issues). Without knowing anything more about your case than what you've stated here, in some cases doing so when child reaches 18 can make sense - as an...

    It's possible, of course - only my informed speculation.

    Illegitimate child

    I agree with what @scylla said but would state MUCH more strongly: the fact that the child lives in Canada (even when a citizen) does NOT mean that the mother will be able to come and live with him. The mother should not do this on that basis or understanding - she needs to understand that it...

    ^^This. If it has the code for secondary inspection, you WILL be sent to secondary. If not, probably not, but still could be.

    Residency Obligation 730 days

    Assuming you mean you've been in India already for a while (eg since before March-April 2025) and you remain until 2028 (more than 1095 days total looking back from day you arrive), you'll be out of compliance and risking PR status for the whole family. You may want to consider looking at other...

    Illegitimate child

    That timing difference - you already having become PR when the child was born - is the type of substantive difference I was referring to. Of course you didn't include an unborn child in your app, so that basically means no issue. Yes, IRCC will likely require DNA certificate and other...

    Question about Representative

    Not required if what she's doing is basically just checking and whatnot. You can include her as representative if you wish. You might do that if she's doing everything or if you want her to be able to communicate with IRCC on your behalf. More common is to have the sponsor be representative of...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    PM-01 is very much entry level, PM goes up to PM-07. So 'more senior than the lowest possible', sure. My guess is that PM-01 direct approval you refer to are ones that are cleared with zero issues/minimal review (even automatic). I wouldn't think PM3's are at all rare but is possible would mean...

    Return to Canada - PR

    Nothing wrong with that approach. Note that OWP app is after AOR and the applicant has arrived in Canada.
