    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    While youtube videos and the like can be useful, there's really no substitute for going through the forms and reading hte instructions.

    Inland or Outland? Canadian sponsor, PA is on student visa and OWP

    Can do either inland or outland. In my view there are few advantages now to inland (except some specific situations which are not most common). I don't see any reason for them to delay applying.

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

    Either really, hard for anyone to guess. Personally I'd consider applying for child's TRV immediately, and then you return to Canada (without delay) and then submit PR app. If that TRV is delayed or refusd, apply once AOR is received. Note, there's no such thing as 'inland' for dependent...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    The invitation letter will provide info on how to request changes if you wish. I have no idea if it will be faster (although I doubt it, it's just my guess). Entirely up to you, don't think it's a question of advisable, no harm no benefit really. (Except you get the nice printed certificate)

    Online passport renewal

    Ah yes I'd only ever done in places when I could just come in but that was in the 'before times.' Makes sense they basically just do it as you say (basically by courier).

    Background check stuck

    Usually being asked to redo the medical does mean that they are mostly ready/preparing to issue the final decision - and probably that other parts are okay. It's not a guarantee though.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Another application seemingly just paused from roughly the date the election was called to one week after the election completed ... But sincere congratulations.

    Spousal sponsorship

    You really should read the instructions more carefully, notably here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/information/applications/spouse.asp Select Mexico and you get this: So I read this to mean that what you have already is what you need. I don't mean the instructions comment to beat you up...

    How to choose / find a certified Translator company ?

    I agree that it can be done anywhere, but if you/partner will be settling in Quebec, it might be more convenient in future to have copies done by a Quebec based translator in French (if ever needed with provincial authorities). A very minor point. But the feds accept either, no issues.

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you received the AOR, it means they will not send it back to you. They may follow up foranything missing. Your suggested approach is the right way to proceed.

    First passport with new legal name, but old name on IDs

    -You could try with what you have - if it's a short version of a first or middle name (or omission of patronymic?) they may accept as is. As far as I'm aware it is Canadian govt practice to allow dropping eg Russian patronymics - or indeed any 'middle name', which in Canadian legal terms is just...

    Transit via USA while travelling between India and Canada as a Canadian citizen

    Note that US customs/immigration may be done in the departing airport from Canada - depends on the airport.

    Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Not a meaningful discussion unless you are specific and clear about when you began living together, when you applied, when you became a PR, and when your relationship started (as a proper relationship). Saying you were 'not presenting yourselves publicly as a couple' makes it sound like you...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    These 'not started' things aren't reliable (or just as likely mean something else to IRCC, like when they have sent the invite). Nothing to stress about , it will show up in due course and you'll get the invitation emails, etc.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    I wasn't accusing you of that - just noting that the approach mentioned earlier in this thread isn't relevant.

    Void Marriage - Okay to Remarry and Negate to Mention on Application?

    It's unfortunately not straightforward - and it may depend on which country/countries the marriages were in, and where you intend to marry. You can't simply rely upon the fact that IRCC won't know about it (as was suggested above, and I'm not saying that was good advice either) - because you...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Bluntly, read the instructions. Yes, people receive AOR when submitting without a PCC - IF they meet the criteria for not needing one.
