    undeclared marital status

    You've been doing it a lot - it's pointless. There's also a fair number of spammers that reply to old threads with embedded links, and you're messing with my brain algorithm. Find a better hobby )

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    If you're doing in-person oath ceremony, they will give you the paper certificate at the ceremony. In my view, there is no difference and the paper version is even better, because you get a nice paper version included. For newer paper certificates (I don't know exactly since when but for years...

    Marriage with just two witnesses

    Include a short note that your family members did not attend/participate because they don't approve, therefore small marriage. Would still recommend you show pictures/hold small event with friends or whomever else.

    The portal is an estimate. It can be more or less.

    Canadian Passport in person timeline

    What. does. the. website. say. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports/urgent-emergency-passport.html Click on the 'provide necessary documents.' They might accept less than that, but you should reckon they will require what they say.

    TRAVELING WITH THE COPR AND IMMIGRANT VISA ON THE PASSPORT

    I may have got a bit lost in this, in that I'm not clear what you decided to do. Frankly the easiest probably is just to fly to Canada without renewing your passport and doing the renewal in Canada. As long as your country allows that without too much dififculty, and things like you don't...

    Wedding photos

    Oh, barf. They're not looking for 'love story.' They're looking for evidence it's a real relationship, and not a secret. Save the trite clichés and encomiums to marriage for youtube videos and cheesy toasts.

    Shared Expenses/Financial Support

    One partner providing financial support for the other (i.e. paying rent for shared living space) IS financial support/shared expenses. One partner is supporting the other. (If it were, ahem, subsidies for 'services', that would be an entirely different matter) Obviously it CAN be beneficial to...

    Apostille Documents?

    Note, because you asked, if you want to get them apostille'd and it's easier, they should (must I think) accept that too. Just it's not required. [Note to others: some countries in Latin America have strict requirements that things must be notarized / apostile'd / authenticated 'by government.'...

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    I should think if it's three citizenship-candidates they are allowed one guest each.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    When you say except the last one, what do you mean? What is it that's not green? As far as I'm aware, background + LPP is the full thing. Next is the oath / ceremony invitation. This is generally not long esp in large metropolitan areas, but some geographic variance + randomness.

    Seeking Legal Advice: Application Re-opened & Counterfoil Cancelled – IRCC Email its nearly 6 months ago its showing under review with IRCC

    I echo what @Buletruck said - get in touch with a legal firm directly. One suggestion: order your GCMS notes immediately, legal counsel will want whatever information can be found and that would be important input.

    Will my tools work in Canada?

    No prob, I've been through it a couple times myself, so understand. It is pretty important. I doubt the drill and saw and the like are worth going to much effort for, but up to you. Transformers might be workable; I doubt the frequency difference would matter much but I don't know. Lamps I...

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    I don't know about the eCOPR - I am warning that the text in the COPR (paper version) is VERY clear, just that people do not pay attention to it. (Or think it can be fixed later - and it can't).

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    I want to underline (not so much for you but for anyone else who reads this who is looking into it): -it is EXTREMELY serious and shows how important it is to READ THE DOCS YOU GET FROM IRCC AND BEFORE SIGNING ANYTHING. -We see lots of cases of this here, and effectively ZERO where IRCC does not...

    Did not disclose marriage before ECOPR, Need help rectifying it

    I'm sure that there have been more than one case, and different specifics. But as far as I'm aware they've all involved the PA advising CBSA/IRCC as soon as possible.

    Step mum listed instead of brith mum

    Sure. But fair to say that for the initial documentation will be presumed that the child of five had no role and could not have misrepresented.

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    Obviously we cannot know for sure that all officers always ask - but in the end, that discussion boils down to "did they sign a document saying everything is truthful that lists their family members?" - if so, irrelevant if the officer asks, because you signed a document saying this (see next...
