    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes. They'll all basically proceed to final stage no faster than the slowest one. While no-one can say for sure that it is in fact ready etc., yes, it's possible that's the issue and it's being held up. You can request to split them, there seems to be no defined practice or experience on how...

    Pr application

    You'll need to get the child a Canadian passport by applying for a citizenship certificate. Someone here wrote a guide on this - which isn't official but seems correct in the main. YMMV...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Probably soon but I've no idea about specifics (and I don't follow what's covered on the PR tracker side).

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes. Honestly I suspect it's primarily to give staff time to update the info, but only guesses. Anyway - IRCC does say it takes them a few days for the certificate to be valid for purposes of applying for a passport. If one wants to try, it's fine, but it may not work.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    The standard statement you will be told at the ceremony is that you must wait 2-3 business days. That said: no harm in trying but if you apply right away for passport, you could be told to wait. I believe the only delay is for the staff to input (confirm) that oath was administered, i.e. for...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Once a PR, one can apply immediately and get coverage. (Yes they've been a bit odd about how they announce this but waiver still in effect AFAIK)

    Working in USA while on OINP PR and residing in Windsor, Ontario

    Suggest you post in the provincial nominations forum - it will mostly boil down to whether all the info you provide (or is provided on your behalf) is truthful, and whether you live up to any specific requirements under the program you apply under...

    Dual Citizenship Issues on Marriage Certificate

    Yes, I think you're overthinking it.

    Dual Citizenship Issues on Marriage Certificate

    I may not be understanding what you're saying - but point what out? That it's the same person? That it was usning your Chinese documents? The first should hopefully be clear (and pointing it out would be odd, because if a different person, well, not eligible), the second is, well, screamingly...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Thanks - this is definitely pretty recent and I was surprised to see this detail - even though I'm still not sure exactly what it means. -Total waiting 283k - seems to just mean how many applications received (accepted?) that are still pending. (It doesn't change with which month you choose)...

    Dual Citizenship Issues on Marriage Certificate

    Canada doesn't care if you have another citizenship, and won't be an issue as long as the boilerplate data (name/dob etc) match.

    PRTD application for a new immigrant

    Of course you can. This scenario is not unusual. Read the application and instructions and apply. When you do, you'll see that you are in compliance because you've not been out of Canada more than 1095 days since you (recently) became a PR. Simplest short rephrasing of the residency...

    Can't Find my Citizenship Certificate

    Usually the passport is enough. As in, I don't recall anyone being asked to provide the citizenship certificate if they provided a copy of passport. Also note: if they do ask for the certificate, it's possible a photocopy or scan will be enough. That said: don't be silly, order a certificate...

    Travel outside Canada whilst on Implied status (SOWP)

    Apply to extend your visit. (internet search will get you there).

    Sponsor spouse outside of Canada

    If the sponsor is a Canadian citizen, yes, it's feasible (doesn't need to come back to Canada to apply, either). Will probably be asked to update with info on preps to return (progress since applied) - so keep records of preps. (My suspicion is that IRCC will not think moving from USA is that...

    PR application / PRTD question

    It's relevant because many who apply for PRTDs have to do so because they do not have a PR card and were not in compliance with the residency obligation. No, it won't cause a problem with yours. They'll check to see the reason you had to apply for one, and will see the history.

    PR CARD RENEWAL 2025 August

    You can try to call IRCC to see if you can get the duplicates sorted out. My personal guess - somewhat informed, but a guess - is that it would be better to submit a webform to correct the error in the application that was accepted, rather than try to withdraw it. (My reasoning is that I think...

    Spousal sponsorship

    You were in a relationship and residing together from 2022. You were, therefore, common law from at least sometime in 2023. You became a PR after you were common-law, whether you realised it or not, and you were required to advise IRCC of a partner (married or common law) prior to becoming a PR...

    Spousal sponsorship

    1) It's possible. Dates matter, specifics matter, and you have not clarified when you became a PR and when you started your relationship. Honestly, suggest you speak to a lawyer. I want to emphasize: this is EXTREMELY important. If they decide you were common law before you became a PR, you...
