    Don't worry about that. Just send what the translator sends you (with copy of what they translated, if not attached).

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Spouse had to do this. We hadn't submitted all pages (b/c they don't ask for it), got the request, sent them weeks before the interview. Then had the interview - went fine. I'm pretty convinced the officer hadn't and didn't look at the scans we'd sent. It's just standard operating procedure, I...

    PR card recalled and seized?

    I believe the original formulation is the right to a hearing, not that there must be a hearing, and one can waive a right. In other words: you got there with the correct conclusion eventually.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Three times within the 30 day period, i.e. the 3rd is your last chance. After that - I don't know exactly what happens.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I won't try to speak for what is considered a big ceremony etc in Colombia or just 'normal.' I do know that (like in many many 'civil code' countries) a civil wedding (city hall or a judge or whatever) is required, and the church wedding is technically optional. My guess is for younger people...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Family members did combination of some reading of the booklet and practice tests. In my opinion, the ones who read the booklet and then practice tests did far better (the other one sort-of read the booklet). Dates and to a lesser degree names: they mostly aren't trying to trip you up. Dates on...

    Not Declared Common-Law Despite 12+ Months Living Together – Does Relationship Nature Matter for IRCC?

    When you and your spouse returned to reside together in March 2024, did you reside in the same place you resided together before?* I think the chances of being refused on basis you did not disclose your common law spouse are high. I could be wrong - of course. -You dated before you began...

    PR card recalled and seized?

    I don't think this requires further definition: an appeal is a hearing.

    PR card recalled and seized?

    They would/could eventually lose PR status in Canada. My impression is that you're not talking about the same thing (although I haven't followed the thread in 100% detail, so if I've misconstrued your point, mea culpa). Overall I think the point being made above is that the combination of...

    Not Declared Common-Law Despite 12+ Months Living Together – Does Relationship Nature Matter for IRCC?

    I agree with @Buletruck on the substance - you are in for a difficult time and need legal counsel. It's also quite likely you will never be able to sponsor your spouse - and so your spouse should do everything possible to qualify for immigration on their own. (All this could have been avoided if...

    What are the chances of our conjugal partner PR application being approved?

    You don't have to 'believe in the concept' to get married (whatever that even means). It's a legal relationship - you enter into a type of contract. In this context, you are getting married to demonstrate you're in a relationship for immigration purposes - that's all. Or do you also not...

    Spousal sponsorship

    It rather depends on your family/personal context. For an arranged marriage - no, wouldn't work. For many/most North/South American/European contexts - almost the standard nowadays, nothing much to worry about. Other places - depends, you and your spouse should have a better idea than others...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    No such anomaly is possible. Any day you were in Canada for any length of time is a day in Canada. If you were in transit somewhere else (before you arrived at your destination), you weren't in Canada. Again - time in Canada is a day in Canada.

    Understanding Common Law Sponsorship

    Answer is in the original post, I believe: Since distinction was drawn between 'being together' and 'living together', seems pretty clear.
