    Becoming a Destitute Student to gain work experience as a caregiver.

    I'm guessing that in cases like this, failing to finish school means leaving Canada, possibly for good. So becoming a destitute student allows folks like OP to save enough money to return to school and finish, and from there presumably get a PGWP and apply for PR after three years work...

    Implied Status time period eligibility for CEC

    Sure, though it doesn't really matter what it's called, generally the advice on this forum is to listen to your lawyer. So since the extra work experience will be counted, it seems to me like this was good advice? I am guessing that this got you to whatever minimum amount of experience you...

    Implied Status time period eligibility for CEC

    In case there's any doubt, I did find a couple of lawyers online confirming this advice (that it will indeed be counted even though the extension was refused) - see https://www.askalawyeroncall.com/law/sxttn-gain-months-legal-canadian-work-experience.html and...

    Super Visa Renewal Or Extension For Parents

    As others have written already, it's not normally extendable, except by applying for visitor records while in Canada (which is technically a different type of application). Is this like truncated or something? How many years total was the super visa actually good for, from start the end? I'm...

    So I haven't been following the threads for later months. But I did a quick comparision, From https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html 2025 April - 4 months left, About 81,700 people ahead of you 2025 May - 4 months left, About...

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Agreed. So (while I do agree with going the air route) actually at least one of the senior members of this forum, armoured, has been tracking this (at least on and off). In his own words, In context - he was talking about folks who no longer had valid PR cards due to the cards expiring. But...

    Moving to Canada without a Job Offer (as a Citizen): Thoughts on the Matter

    I know I'm late but I just wanted to point out from my own personal experience that this is absolutely not true. Back in 2022, I had personal experience with rejection - a third-party recruiter for a big well known Canadian company said they couldn't move forward with me since I wasn't a PR yet...

    I think some of the laws may simply be out of date. Remember that ChatGPT is only two and a half years old at this point. Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the law behind this requirement - that the text was last updated in the aughts, if not even earlier. In fairness, and in a...

    Aha, then it's certain that IRCC did know about your old passport - including when it expired. This makes me slightly more confident that the accidental omission is the reason for requesting the scan and the interview. Remember you just got asked for an interview. You didn't get RQ'd. So I...

    You mean non-Latin? (Otherwise, I think one could reasonably maintain that these are the parts and names in English/French, even if some diacritics or even "extended Latin" letters (e.g. Æ from Danish or ł in Polish or ñ in Spanish) are involved. Outside of governmentdom at least, it's not...

    Not sure. Presumably the reason you're asking is because you didn't use the old passport once you got the new one in Feb 2020, and therefore there's nothing relevant in it since you haven't traveled on it during the eligibility period. However, there's a common refrain on this forum. "If in...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Probably a good thing then that for most apps (like citizenship and PR card renewal) you only need the more recent, e.g last five years. Well, with it almost being 2026, this means that for folks making new renewals or citizenship apps, they should be able to expect complete coverage soon then...

    So this forum has quite a few anecdotal reports on missing records, see for example https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/atip-entry-exit-record-missing-1-entry-no-stamp-either.771150/...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    From everything I've read so far, I'm expecting that your request to reschedule when you're back in the country to be granted and then a quick and perfunctory interview, and then an in-person ceremony. At least, I don't see any concerns thus far. Sorry I meant IRCC and/or CBSA's mistake (in...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So armoured's caution is correct here, but even so, this makes me speculate it's the same sort of deal. Even if you don't have a lot of travel and you have lots of buffer, being unluckly enough to be missing a few entry or exit records (or both) can introduce enough variation that you'd go from...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Our timelines are almost identical. I also have that short US travel. I've speculated that the US travel may be the reason for the delay - the US government had a shutdown a little while ago, and was still shutdown while your PP and LS were updated. So any pro forma checks that IRCC/CBSA would...

    Ahhh... good catch. Both were "processing times" but I missed that there was an apples to oranges difference here. I actually wasn't able to find good numbers from IRCC for this year, but last year (Jan to Oct 2024 to be specific - covering a period of 304 days) it seems that they did >325,000...

    So I did some digging into this and I think you've got a good point here. If you look at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/citizenship-processing-times/citizenship-processing-times it says "Australian citizenship by conferral (general eligibility" "From date of application to...

    Might be worth reaching out to Red Seal Notary. They can get your fingerprints submitted from your local police in your country to RCMP according to https://www.redsealnotary.com/services/rcmp-fingerprints-outside-canada/ (and they explicitly list India as one of the countries that they have...
