    Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union

    Ah - you are fine in that case. 100% agree the bank accounts don't have to be joint. They just need to show the shared address for 12+ months.

    Statutory Declaration of Common Law Union

    What else do you have that shows the 12 months? Generally you want to have more than just the lease agreement (i.e. several pieces of evidence that show the 12 months). I'm not sure you can say yes on the statuatory declaration if your bank statements and insurance don't go back the full 12 months.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    If the visitor record is approved, then she submitts the PR applicaiton. She would continue to have visitor status in Canada. If she wants to be able to work she needs a job offer from an employer and an approved LMIA or an LMIA exemption supported by the employer.

    H&C Humanitarian Ground with/or Without Failed refugee claim

    Based on the PRRA appeals I have seen, having an H&C application in progress is generally not a reason for a stay of removal unless a decision in that application is imminent.

    Work permit/study permit transition

    I don't believe you would qualify for EI if you have to leave your job due to your work permit expiring. Wait for others to comment.

    Student to Lmia based work permit

    I would agree with this. CBSA showing up is unusual and generally indicates a deeper problem.

    Humanitarian and Compassionate Application for my Mother.

    It's really hard for me to guess what the outcomes might be of an H&C application. You can certainly apply but I really can't guess the chances of approval. You'll definitely want to prove your parents are separated, preferably divorced and also provide medical records to prove that your...

    I have no idea. Sorry.

    Student to Lmia based work permit

    If CBSA has taken your passport, then you are really in lawyer territory and I don't think any of us here can tell you when you will receive it back.

    Do not withdraw the refugee application. This will put you in removal.

    Spousal sponsorship

    There is no MNI but the sponsoring spouse cannot be on welfare / social assistance. No, the spouse who is being sponsored cannot co-sign.

    Asking for a friend (PGWP Holder)

    I assume she has an employer who is willing to go through the process of obtaining an LMIA or the LMIA-exempt work permit? I believe she will need to apply for the work permit from outside of Canada if she has visitor status. To the best of my knowledge it's no longer possible to do this from...

    Stuck On Security Check

    No one here works for IRCC. This is not a government site and we cannot tell you the status of your application. Security check can be delayed if you have a military or government background. It can also be delayed based on your country of origin or where you have lived and worked. For example...
