    Spousal outland Sponsorship

    Just tell the truth and you should be fine. Enter it however works in the form, and then you'll have a small space for relationship history - clarify any points that didn't fit in form properly (i.e. start of relationship vs first meeting in person). If you two did not reside together for more...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    The chances of them being against you having your infant with you are approximately zero. They'll probably be pleased When you get your photo/aoth chance, ask the citizenship judge to hold your baby, they'll be chuffed.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I suggest simply reading the instructions and looking at the form. These are routinely granted to those visiting spouses, esp when spousal spnosorship apps are in progress. By 'routinely' I mean they do not make this difficult nor impose particularly high bars for those already in the country...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I think it would be easier to just apply to extend your stay. I'm not sure it's strictly necessary, but rather than worry about whether the implied status is sufficient, etc., just apply (routinely granted I understand for those with spousal apps) and be certain you are not out of status...

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    If you did not meet the physical presence requirement, you are not eligible for citizenship. It's not a 'technical' requirement, it's statutory - as I understand it. And the statement from the GCMS notes is: "Does not appear to meet the physical presence requirement. Client previously advised...

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    You may need to simply consider whether your attempt to get citizenship via this route is going to work at all, and whether any steps needed to do so are things you are willing to do.

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    Here's a thread on the same topic (or similar anyway) for your interest: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/gcms-notes-say-i-do-not-appear-to-meet-physical-presence-requirement-referred-to-ps-for-review-decision-what-to-do-now.874393/ I would overall agree...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    That's good to know actually. You should put a review of a specific one up here. Once when I looked into it, was going to cost a lot of money (gratned also a hell of a lot of stamps), hence why I was a bit cheap. ...But also because the vast majority of stamps were this 'European' style (which...

    Apostille Documents?

    CHeck here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp I see for Argentina 'no special requirements.' This means that most things only need to be translated and the copy of the original (attached to translation) notarised. In most countries you can get this done at once...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    BTW for scanning: a multifunction printer with a scanner function is what I used for scanning. Tedious but a LOT better than most other approaches where you'd be holding by hand, etc.

    Question about CRA–IRCC status verification and PR residency obligation (730 days)

    No, 'residency' for tax purposes (and for specific purposes of certain benefits) are not linked to residency obligation compliance. Separate concepts in law and practice, and everyone gets this.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Info-sharing: yes, Oz will be able to get access to (likely anyway) Five Eyes (Can/US/UK/Aus/NZ) records, question is how quickly and whether an average border control office will be able to do this on-the-spot/immediately or through extra steps, etc. My assumption is it's not so immediate for...

    We just didn't mention it. Won't hurt to do an LOE that you didn't include it because it hasn't been used in the period or whatever your expalnation is.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    We had not included all the passports/travel docs in the app - no issues came up when we 'added.' And yes, I didn't bother doing the spanish ones (because, well, give me a break), and the remaining ones were also Cyrillic. The Russian and other countries in Europe using Cyrillic stamps (that I...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Technically yes. You make your own decisions. But if you believe your father's stories, don't you think they'd all know you had another valid passport during this time? BTW: for my spouse, I'm not even going to get into how much scanning I had to do. More than four passports/travel docs, all...

    Canadian Passport in person timeline

    No experience with that one specifically: express pickup etc requires applying in person. Go there and be prepared: if it's so urgent you need it before the nine days, you'll have to go for the more urgent service above that - unless of course you get some commitment from them to return it...

    The 9/11 attacks. Prior to that border security was FAR more lax on both sides between Canada/US, and doc requirements, too. (Also internationally of course) I think you just misapprehended what moscato meant - I read it as meaning amongst/between Australian (or any other country's own)...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    -Definitely relatively low buffer of days over the minimum PLUS lots of travel is a set that frequently leads to confirmation of physical presence via interview + scans of passport pages. [BTW from tenor of interview of my spouse - I'm convinced that a significant part of the interview is...
