    PGP COPR

    Unless something has changed, they should have got COPR - contact the visa office.

    Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Then document what you can. For the rest, emphasize as much as possible time physically together. And note, far better not to say that you met for the first time when you got married. Write out a timeline for yourselves so that it's clear.

    Outland Spousal Sponsorship

    Do you mean you went to high school together, at the same time? You'd have high school records, friends, acquaintances, family contacts. That will help. If not, it's a quite different situation, i.e. that you only met this year and married on first meeting.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Sorry - to clarify one bit. It's clearly not quite as simple as this, but in a way that boils down to (in my opinion, reading between lines) BG/prohibitions main decision point likely being done by same team (related tasks). Speculation follows: it's fairly clear they have some kind of...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    As responded on another, I presume BG and prohibitions run out of same team; don't know. I believe language and physical presence can be other offices.

    Personally I assume the BG and prohibitions are kept in same workgroup. Not sure though.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Someone got info from IRCC that Vancouver processes all BG checks for files. So in most cases, it's more likely that the background check is slow/stuck, rather than that 'Vancouver' (as in the regional office working on / allocated local files) is slow or stuck. Put differently: think of...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Go here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/fees/pay.asp Select permanent residence, and then 'no' to the question that appears, "Are you paying the right of permanent residence fee (RPRF) for an application you’ve already submitted?" Then select the appropriate application type and fees.

    CSIS and CBSA notes for Background Check

    Given the reference to p1-p2, presume it's not actually a citizenship app.

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    I think that's you imagining things, bluntly. Wherever I have seen them put this, they describe them as estimates - not caps, not quotas, etc. Where they describe the other numbers as targets, they put these as estimates. Repeat, estimates. I see no verifiable evidence they are intentionally...

    Inland PR Holder parent doing sponsorship for child

    You haven't answered the question. Here's the math: if you became a PR in the last five years and have been OUTSIDE canada less than 1095 days since the day you became a PR, you are in compliance with the residency obligation. (If you became a PR more than five years ago, same but outside Canada...

    Expected processing time for background security checks?

    Again: they do not have quotas or caps for rest of Canada. There's only an estimate.

    Residency obligation

    I do not intend to be harsh, but @SuperMarco - in my opinion - cannot get any further useful information from this forum (barring something changing or new specific information coming to light). Further discussion is more likely just going to confuse things. Needs to consult with a lawyer in...

    Need help with passport submission

    You would be best to post in the relevant section for your program if you want answers specific to your case. 2. Generally yes. Don't see why it wouldn't be the case here. 3. Yes.

    Important document showing spousal recognition - Does this document count?

    Yes, those are the types of documents that can be used. Insurance, wills, others might also. (Not suggesting you need more in addition to what you have - use your judgment)

    Urgent Return to Canada with Newborn: Immigration Choices for PR Holders

    When did you apply for the TRV? Before you had returned to Canada? Before or after the AOR came for the child? I'd suggest applying for a TRV again now, basically.

    September 2024 Citizenship Applications

    You said June 5 in your previous email so don't know what's going on (already passed the date). But we had family member reschedule to in-person, total delay of less than a month. I think that should be comparable to rescheduling depending on circumstances. BUT: a warning, for those who are...

    It can take up to a month. Not the most frequent, but it can.

    Inland v Outland

    I think biggest obvious difference is that inland by def includes those who have already had some form of clearance by ircc or from visa waiver countries. Hence the pool of applicants skews to lower secoery and other background risk and some associated (eg good secoery coop with visa waiver...
