    Shall I decline the ITA?

    Your sister isn't living in Canada so you don't qualify for the 15 points. You can certainly try applying regardless, however you'll want to have a firm back up plan in place on alternative paths for PR or ways of increasing your score since there will be a high chance of refusal if IRCC asks...

    Apply SP or Vistor for Undeclared Minor

    You can try applying for your son. You will need to include an LOE explaining why you failed to declare him in all previous applications. It may be best to use a lawyer for this application. No one here can tell you if your son will be approved or denied. This is not a straight forward case.

    Study Permit Processing Time – Urgent Help Needed

    OP is a protected person so this would have to be a within Canada application.

    PR card renewal acknowledgement using Permanent Resident Portal

    It's an important distinction. This means you know when the estimated processing time starts. Let's say you applied online. Assuming so, processing time starts as soon as you submit your application through the IRCC portal, not when IRCC bothers to open your application, per your original post...

    Refusal Visitor

    Get GCMS notes. When you reapply, shorten the trip to 2 weeks. 1 month is actually on the longer side and can show a lack of ties.

    PR card renewal acknowledgement using Permanent Resident Portal

    FYI - Processing times are from when the application is received by IRCC, not when the applicationed is opened by IRCC.

    Refusal Visitor

    How long a visit did you request? Have you already submitted the spousal sponsorship application and received AOR? Does she have previous travel to countries requiring visas?

    Refusal Visitor

    I would order GCMS notes. MP's office won't necessarily give you the full details.

    Copr?

    It's an administrative step. This means you are getting close to the end but does not mean final approval.

    Residency obligation

    We've seen a number of people on this forum end up with 44(1) due to not meeting RO. As you said, they were still allowed in.

    Spousal sponsorship based on court marriage

    You don't chose between the two if you are applying outland. You either apply inland or outland.

    Open Work Permit as a student whose spouse is a permanent resident

    The rules changed a couple of years ago to allow outland applicants to apply for an OWP provided they are physically in Canada and have AOR. This is a well established rule now and lots here have done just that. I'll see if I can find a link later of the rules change being announced. But again...

    Supervisa or visitor visa

    It's really your choice which you apply for. 2023 NOA is fine. Include your 2024 T4 as well.

    Spousal sponsorship based on court marriage

    Since it's a family arranged marriage, wait until all of the marriage and celebration formalities are completed, including the big family event, before submitting the sponsorship application.

    Supervisa or visitor visa

    You can apply now provided you have at least one CRA NOA that shows you meet LICO. I'm not sure what you mean by dummy insurance. You need to purchase the insurance policy before submitting the application.

    Closed Wp to caregiver pathway

    Not possible. She needs to have related work experience and the quota is already full for this year with no spots remaining. As others have said, earliest she will be able to apply is sometime next year.

    How to Overcome Being Medically Ineligible?

    IMO you can overcome most of this however would want to get the knee replacement done before applying to immigrate to Canada. How are you planning on immigrating to Canada? I assume it is not through an economic immigration stream due to your age. If it is through spousal sponsorship, then your...

    Open Work Permit as a student whose spouse is a permanent resident

    Doesn't matter as long as the OP is in Canada and has AOR.
