    PR card Renewal

    The bolded part is wrong. The validity of the old one for 60 days is precisely for the case where someone is travelling and does not receive the new one - they have those 60 days within which to return. Yes, the wording is ambiguous in the text you cited.

    PR card Renewal

    I don't see any reason to do that. You have a card that will be valid until you return (by existing date). If you are issued a new card, the old one will continue to be valid for some period of time - probably beyond the date you expect to return. If you're worried, search for the info about...

    PR Residency Obligation – Latest Safe Time to Re-Enter Canada

    The only 100% safe thing is to return while still in compliance. To calculate that (easiest way) - you must calculate the number of days you are OUTSIDE Canada in the last five years (discarding any days before you became a PR, so in your case, May 2022.) As long as the number of days outside...

    PR card Renewal

    The new cards are issued with the validity of the 'old card' being cancelled some weeks (I think it's 60 days but it could be 30, don't recall) after the issuance. So in most cases you should be fine (at least if I'm right that it's 60 days), because there's about 45 days remaining until then...

    Address history and tax filing

    I'd either put your Canadian address (even if it was before your rent officially began) or just write the hotel address. Nothing wrong with that. Don't use your home country address for periods after your landing UNLESS of course you were actually physically there, it will just confuse things.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I don't know of any reason to think that the child will not be required to do them again. Not certain though.

    Thank you >>>>>>>>> Legalfalcon <<<<<<<<<<<

    Assuming A never landed and is not a PR, then yes, my understanding is that it will be required. Happy to hear from others in case I'm wrong though.

    Mismatch between PR and Citizenship application history

    If that info was not relevant to the PR application, I don't think there's much issue and they're not looking to 'catch' people on minor omissions. People do have freelance things to pay the bills and forget them. Definitely NOT encouraging anyone to do this but in this instance probably not a...

    What to do after COPR for inland spousal sponsorship

    This is just an internal administrative step - albeit an important one - where they allocate (basically) a COPR number. In due course the next steps of being finalized should happen but the COPR# being allocated on its own is not a good predictor of how much time is left. The more important ones...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    -The "started/not-started" info seems to mean approximately nothing. -What do you mean, after a decade? You applied for citizenship ten years ago?

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    We also had this. The questions about travel history were general - asked about longest trip outside Canada since becoming a PR, then about reasons for travel in general (spouse travels for work). That was it. Can't speak for others but I've seen several similar reports. No proof/evidence of...

    Questions about Inland Sponsorship of Dependent Child Alone

    Current processing times (chart by month with applicants ahead)

    Thanks for reminder, been a bit busy with other things. And now that I have three of the months, I'm struggling a bit with coming up how to present this and what conclusions can be made. If I don't make some more progress in that, maybe I'll just post a link to the shared spreadsheet and others...

    Received a request for information because of low physical presence Will withdraw but do I need to reply?

    While it is probably not technically required, I would respond to have it on file that you have realized the error in dates and hence that you did not meet physical presence requirement as of the date of submission, and you are withdrawing to re-apply when you do meet the requirements. This...

    RESCHEDULING YOUR OATH CEREMONY

    You'll have to wait for the invite to get instructions for how to respond and reschedule. Don't take this as a promise/guarantee, but Toronto-area oaths tend to get rescheduled fairly quickly. YMMV.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    The instructions say one person for each applicant/new citizen, I believe. My understanding is the rooms are generally close to full but you can try if you wish. You won't get in trouble for trying and asking nicely.

    A few months short of Residency Obligation in first 5 years. YVR or YYC less likely Sec 44?

    I really personally would NOT suggest this. They have passenger manifests. They can figure out family members - usually anyway. And I believe the customs instructions say families should go through together (although not sure that's a 'rule' per se). While it may not be directly breaking any...
