    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...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    ^^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...

    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...

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

    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.
