    Previous visa dates

    I don't know what you're looking for online. You can download the forms and the instruction guide and see whether it asks for these things. Try filling out the actual form, line by line. If it doesn't ask for those - that's the answer. (As far as I'm aware it does not)

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    I understand but this ended up leaving out the concept that dates older than five years 'drop off', as well as other calculation errors (potential). Then just say that - "dates on the PR card are not related to RO."

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    I think this formulation is confusing and misleading - it doesn't work for some period after the five-year anniversary (some days won't count), and it doesn't work before the first five year anniversary, either (days in future do count). So I'll (tiresomely) repeat the simplest accurate...

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    1) If you all stay until you have 730 in the five years prior to the date you apply, should be no issue. Each individual's application and compliance are considered separately. 2) Don't understand. Implication is you get a new card - that's it. I'll let others speak to your customs questions.

    Yes. It's quite common.

    Should be fine.

    There's no manual. Unfortunately.

    I was referring to the delay in your ATIP request for gcms notes.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I personally don't believe the 'not started' flag. I could be wrong. But it seems it's a flag (a 'bit') that is mapped variously to English in IRCC usage. I think more significant is when something changes (the flag being flipped). But just my opinion and I cannot 100% confirm what it means...

    COLOURED OR BLACK AND WHITE PHOTOCOPIES?

    If they don't specify, black and white is fine. If they specify colour - colour. As far as I'm aware, it's usually only when asked to submit copies of all pages of passport that they specify colour - but not certain. Note, since most applications are effectively now electronic - scan the stuff...

    Language skills as a native English speaker?

    You both/all can submit evidence of completing education (university or high school both qualify) in English language. I should think from UK that would just be whatever you have from either, they're going to understand the medium of instruction is English. Or for you the language test...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    There's an ombudsman, I believe, to whom you can complain, and your MP. They're at least supposed to advise you that they're taking an extra 30 days, and that 60 days the limit.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    My understanding is that the trackers for linked minors basically don't get updated - ignore those.

    Won't help. They don't do pre-approvals.

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    You can search and do a wee bit of research and find. My tip would be search for something like PM salary ranges, and compare to executive service. In short: PM01 is absolutely junior level (only lower is pm-development, which I guess is training). PM03 is not very high at all, as PM goes up to...

    Two sets of photos needed for PR application?

    I'm not aware of any reason you can't re-use. But if you're worried about it, spend the ~$20 and get new ones made.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Do you have a lawyer? Speak to that lawyer. At this point, I'd think mandamus is warranted. There's clearly something going on.

    Is physical absence enough to meet citizenship RO?

    Duplicate, answered in other thread.

    Residency obligation for renewing PR

    You could potentially have problems on return, but with a valid card and living in Canada - probably will be okay. Upon your return - just stay in Canada until you are in compliance before applying to renew.
