    Spousal sponsorship

    If it's an arranged marriage, don't apply until after completion of all the ceremonies.

    Return to Canada - PR

    Then she may have better chance of getting a TRV (assuming she's not from a visa waiver country). Otherwise all still basically the same.

    Return to Canada - PR

    As a PR, you cannot apply to sponsor your spouse abroad, you must physically be in Canada. You really only have one choice in near term: whether spouse applies for visa now or not. That has no significant impact if refused. If spouse gets visa, you can travel together and apply to sponsor...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I must have misunderstood your question. Yes, you may see other updates on tracker related to the oath ceremony (like the form notification you got), and those may duplicate emails you received. After the ceremony itself I think there are few updates.

    GCMS notes are IRCC's internal notes on the file; you have the right to order/access them under access to information policy: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/transparency/access-information-privacy/requests-information-act.html

    Yes, during that period.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm not 100% certain but IIRC basically after the oath is scheduled, you won't see anything until 'complete' - and that may be some time after you do the oath and get citizenship and the certificate and all (not high priority to update for them - and you already have everything).

    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Return at that point basically off the table - that's what the AOR means.

    Potentially. We don't know. You should order gcms notes.

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    Completely meaningless and quite common. If you want to worry about nothing, this is one you can focus on.

    Could be yes or no, not a given either way.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Nothing too significant, just a level of seniority for sign-off. PM03 is not terribly senior, but not a clerk or junior officer. Not meaningful in itself IMO.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I can't speak to your experiences, and every country is different - and one's situation in any given country can matter more (eg if relatively privileged). My point overall - from experience - is as I referred to above, one's expectations may not match local - not necessarily because one is...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship -2024

    I don't find any of these minor differences in timing are very meaningful. But can't say for sure. As far as I'm aware Sydney only does the intake / first letters and after that some other office. I don't follow closely office details but general comment: it seems to me fairly clear that over...

    Spousal sponsorship

    If this type of delay is too much frustration, moving to a different country may not be for you. I don't say that as a criticism - but you're going to need thicker skin than that. (Wait until you meet the health care sector). Systems are different everywhere, and the 'match' to expectations...

    Scans of all passport pages for citizenship app

    From what I see here, it's not common at all for IRCC to ask. Infrequent at best. Perhaps not 'rare', but not at all common. ("Common for some" doesn't really mean much). I think it's a waste of time for most, but for anyone who wishes, go ahead. I think providing more info than...

    Goods to Follow List - Moving more than one year after Landing

    So they've been living in Canada and did not bring their valuable stuff when they came to settle? Different case, I've no idea what applies to them. As far as I'm aware, this has nothing to do with the goods-to-follow scenario, which is for things brought 'following' when settling - but don't...

    Goods to Follow List - Moving more than one year after Landing

    [Note, I don't know your case, you jumped into somebody else's thread] I don't know what they did before or who advised them to proceed this way. But as long as they only did a soft landing last time and did not settle in Canada, yes. Now note: with goods to follow forms, the typical is that...

    Is this an AOR letter from IRCC?

    Happy to bow to your knowledge on this one.
