    Question about financial interdependence/shared expenses

    I think you're overthinking. If you share a residence and one of you pays, you are sharing expenses. Write a short letter of explanation and provide some other /examples/ of things that one or the other of you has paid for. Can also note that joint accounts are not a thing - won't be a surprise...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Most cases the FP request does not delay things much. For some, yes - but they're probably in group that would have had security other issues anyway.

    PR Card Renewal - Primary ID Document

    No-one can help you if you don't identify what other documents she does have. Otherwise, you could read what the instructions say are accepted as primary documents.

    How to Answer "Refusal" Questions After an eTA Cancellation? (Spousal Sponsorship)

    If in doubt, always disclose more - not disclosing something they expect you to tell them is very, very serious. Disclosing more thna necessary almost always has no impact. [My view is here is that it is something you must disclose. I coudl be wrong. But disclosing something they already know...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    My understanding - call it a somewhat informed guess, as I don't have any inside info but have watched some, and have some experience with these types of systems - is that it is an internal flag for tracking that probably means the system will notify someone (e.g. the officer/office formally...

    You're overthinking, if it was just a trip, don't worry about it.

    PPT to COPR

    That would be a tight timeline in most places (even if you were to submit Monday), as somewhat location dependent. Since spouse has an ETA some better chance it will be enough time. But if not submitting the physical passport, there's no downside really to providing what is needed (that I can...

    Urgent Driver’s licence name different from my citizenship certificate

    If you want what you are calling your 'full name', then please check first the passport applications form and ID requirements. If you do not show or use your driver's licence for the passport application - then no issue. So then the only question is do you have sufficient other types of ID that...

    New Bill C-3: Generational Citizenship

    Arrrgh. I think I'd like then to ask for all fees paid prior to that (PR, citizenship grant, etc) to be refunded. Granted that's the least expensive part of this bloody nightmare. In retrospect I should've tracked down that lawyer and participated in this suit - apart from not being female...

    New Bill C-3: Generational Citizenship

    Not that this matters much in larger scale of things, but my child is (hypothetically) a citizen by descent (due to the retroactive provisions, although I'd've met the 1095 days test anyway) and a citizen by naturalization (moved and got citizenship some time ago). Which is in retrospect ...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I believe in the instructions it says you can add a sheet, separate, letter, with the same basic format (a simple table) and basically extend the section this way.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Okay, that's good. Then you didn't do anything wrong. So, you can and should complain, see here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=464&top=1 They are supposed to inform you they can't do it within 30 days - and then they have an extra 30 days, in most cases. But by all...

    Living arrangement

    I do not understand at all what you are asking. Residency obligation is an individual thing - your divorce is not really part of the equation, if the residency time in question is in Canada. Time with a spouse while abroad might count in some circumstances, in which case it would be relevant...

    Current processing times (chart by month with applicants ahead)

    It's an interesting hypothesis but ... I think it's not likely to be true. But obviously I don't know, I think will be necessary to follow in subsequent months and see if some other explanation. Here's why I doubt it. Express entry: the timing is too perfect (to-the-month). Even if there was a...

    Spousal sponsorship

    In brief: you provide a plan for you and your spouse to move to and reside in Canada, and evidence that you are working on that plan. You were supposed to have provided that with the application - and if you did not, that is a very deficient application package. (If you did - now you update them...

    Traveling without a PR Card Help

    Good luck. Now note, I wouldn't apply for the PRTD too early. I'm only kind of guessing, but I reckon applying 3-5 days before departing on assumption they'll understand is reasonable. (YMMV, use at own risk, etc) Do make it clear that you have tight timelines and where possible mark PRTD as...

    Traveling without a PR Card Help

    Obviously what's the status, has it been sent, do they have info on when it iwll be sent, you have a flight in 3 weeks. Check the address to which it will be sent. I would wait for now. At least see what they say. If you do not have the PR card or a PRTD, you won't be allowed to board the...
