    PR, soft landing

    For clarity: some here confuse the allocation of a COPR# on the tracking site with 'getting' COPR. You need to receive the actual COPR document, which is usually done through a passport request (where you submit passport to a visa application centre). The existence of a COPR# without the...

    Citizenship Application Delayed Over 2 Years

    I largely agree with the comments by @Seym but emphasizing it's your choice - if you want to hire a lawyer earlier, fine, but it may be expensive with little to show for it. BUT: since you got a second fingerprint request VERY recently, that is an indication that there is some movement and they...

    Inland vs Outland Sponsorship application - Visitor status and OWP

    1. Yes. 2. Yes. You will read at various places that outland applicants are NOT eligible, that info is just out of date (it changed a few or several years ago now). 3. Yes. We frankly don't have enough information to tell if this will have any effect on the OWP processing times. 4. Both can be...

    How fast can I get a passport?

    Looking at the specific dates, doing the ceremony Monday and getting passport in sufficient time for a flight friday is VERY tight. It might work, or it might not. Many get the certificate electronically the same or next day. BUT: the instructions warn you that it cannot be used to apply for a...

    Mistakenly Selected “Yes” for 183 Days Outside Canada – Need Advice

    I think in most cases they figure out minor discrepancies like this. And having provided a PCC even if not formally required will not cause a problem. That said, I think the suggestion of a short letter of explanation via webform once you get AOR makes sense.

    Citizenship application

    Hardly ever if there are email addresses on order. An exception obviously being citizenship certificates at the end (for those who don't get electronic or have oath ceremonies where they are handed over.)

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    This largely seems to be conjecture around the idea that there's a 'hump' around 24-30 months. I don't see any obvious reason to believe that. Best I can tell is that after about 18 months, the rate of new completions drops to something like a steady-state level (just because there aren't that...

    Spousal

    I don't know but my instinct is #2. You don't want a closed work permit and you do want possibility of new employer. But honestly not my area of knowledge

    Concern About Meeting PR Residency Requirement While Studying Abroad

    Yep, that part we can confirm.

    Concern About Meeting PR Residency Requirement While Studying Abroad

    That's more or less what I expected (i.e. when your card expires). That means that after you return to Canada in summer 2028 (based on your current plans) you'll have a year to deal with things in Canada. Your biggest inconvenience will be the need to restrict travel or not travel at all after...

    Concern About Meeting PR Residency Requirement While Studying Abroad

    To clarify one thing: the PR card is NOT your status. You are not required to have a valid PR card while you are in Canada. Being out of compliance with the residency obligation does not mean you are 'illegal' - just stay in Canada until you have the 730 days. You basically only need the PR card...

    I'd suggest calling IRCC. It's probably a small mistake/glitch on their side - but check your spam emailboxes and the like, too.

    I'd suggest reading the instructions and then doing that.

    Travelling with canadian passport

    Generally speaking most big airports will arrange so that you stay in the 'international zone' if you're switching flights on a ticket/group of tickets booked together. EVen between terminals. Airside shuttle means you stay in the international zone. That said: it can be convenient to have the...

    Moving out of province PNP

    There's basically zero chance anyone would consider it misrepresentation in your instance - you settled more than a year ago, stayed more than six months after you became a PR (minimum given it will take some time), you likely will be staying with the same company, can show you applied for other...

    Family class spousal sponsorship (Outland) with H&C Considerations

    You should, IMO, consider that the background verification/inadmissibility consideration are all part of the same thing. I don't know if there's any way to determine from the tracker, and quite possibly wouldn't be clear from the GCMS notes either (which you can and probably should of course...
