    Outside canada for 2.5 years. What will I be questioned at the border? What documents to show?

    I'm not sure I agree with your assumption but: repeat that you are in compliance with the residency obligation. If they ask where you were, you tell the truth - you were [whatever.] Other questions you might get asked might be about your stuff, plans to stay, etc. Unless you're admitting...

    Spousal sponsorship based on court marriage

    To be clear: 'inland' corresponds to 'spousal or common-law partner living in Canada' class, 'outland' is 'family class.' Outland is the only option available for those whose spouse's or outside Canada. Only clarifying that inland/outland are commonly referred to but they're not the terminology...

    Need Help: Spousal PR – Received COPR Number but IRCC Asking to Be in Canada for PR Portal

    Yes, you need to contact them and make clear that she is NOT in Canada and has no visa or similar, i.e. she will need the physical passport request to submit passport in [country where she is.]

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm going to attempt to give a simple answer: you should either ask to delay your oath ceremony, change your departure date from Canada, or accept that you will have to apply for and get a passport abroad (or possibly one or two other ways to get authorization / return to Canada) - and that may...

    Outside canada for 2.5 years. What will I be questioned at the border? What documents to show?

    Haven't faced this but still fairly clear: if you've been outside Canada less than 3 years in last five (discarding any days before you became a PR, i.e. since you became a PR in your case), you are in compliance with the residency obligation and nothing to worry about. Tell the truth and you'll...

    Question about financial interdependence/shared expenses

    Just to be clear, I think the financial interdependence thing CAN be important, but for couples that are living together, it's sort of additional to the evidence of living together. Where it can be more important (just as an example) - not living together; couples that are common law esp just...

    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...

    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.
