    Urgent Help Required – Unable to Apply for New eTA with Valid Work Permit

    Did the lawyer tell you what you do need? Again, simple deduction: if you can't get on the plane (you need to clarify this), then you need something for that - and if you can't apply for an ETA, you need a TRV. No, I don't know number for CBSA, apart from internet.

    That would be pretty quick, given it's already June 11 - the invites seem to usually be for ceremonies two weeks + into future.

    It could be the part 'we might not understand' is that Vancouver seems to do the BG/prohibitions for all. https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/march-2025-citizenship-applications.867956/post-11059935

    I understand IRCC eventually provides the correspondence needed to let you apply for the PCC in [country.] Don't follow specifically for Singapore though.

    Reposting - pls help

    Errata correction above: I wrote 'waiting and getting it stamped in Canada' - that should have read 'outside Canada'.

    Yes. And timelines might be long for that. I've heard four months plus, but I do not follow closely.

    For countries where it's known that authorities won't issue PCC without IRCC request, it's normal to submit without.

    They do not change it from outland to inland - just the landing process. I doubt they change the COPR#, but that's internal to them. Note though - the 'virtual' landing process in Canada and changing it to the internal landing process might be considerably longer than waiting and getting it...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Try using the IRCC contact address listed in this one, and make it clear it is a complaint that you have not received in the 30 days NOR a notification of extension. https://www.tbs-sct.canada.ca/ap/atip-aiprp/coord-eng.asp#I Note though: it's quite likely you'll only get an extension notice...

    Urgent Help Required – Unable to Apply for New eTA with Valid Work Permit

    I do not know if an ETA in the *old* passport would still be considered valid, as is the case with a TRV (where they say you can bring the old and new and the visa in old passport will be considered valid). It basically boils down to whether the airline will let you board - which SHOULD be...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Perfectly normal, unfortunately - background checks can be highly variable in terms of time. But applying October, nothing out of ordinary until about 12 months have passed. GCMS notes delayed: it happens, you can complain. Info here...

    Canada cracks down on immigration applicants over spouses

    Back to the thread topic: more typically confused approach from IRCC. I have no problem with them not allowing the points for this - although it's not clear that there's any particular advantage for IRCC in doing so (granted, arguable) - particularly if policy goal is to reduce number of...

    Urgent Help Required – Unable to Apply for New eTA with Valid Work Permit

    TRV is a temporary resident visa, not a tourist visa - although it does cover 'tourists' as well, that's not the only type of 'temporary resident' it covers. With a work permit, you're a temporary resident.

    Yes, but it can come a couple weeks after AOR , and you can register on the tracker before that (usually 1-5 days after AOR).

    I don't think this 'not started / no officer assigned' to it is that meaningful. Just like it being 'stuck' in Vancouver. Unfortunately it leaves very little info to distinguish what's (actually) happening, but I believe it's always been a bit of a black box (I think before it both took much...

    No you don't. It serves no purpose. Just start a new thread. Or wait.

    Expiry date of extended status in Citizenship application.

    My own guess is that no, I do not think so. But: you haven't clarified whether you are using any days from your pre-PR time in Canada. That might be relevant, and if so, perhaps a short LOE (just say you applied for the extension/work permit/whatever but PR was approved and received before the...
