    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

    https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children.html Just get it all here. THere's no separate form or process for 'inland' for children.

    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...

    CBSA missing exit, can I manipulate the travel date

    Very stupid idea.

    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...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    They surely have a number of factors that sort them into "pre-automatic-clearance" / "put on the rubber gloves, deep search required" and everything in between. I'm sure they use some kind of machine learning as well. But let's face it - there are some - children, very young adults, etc - when...

    Consequences of being reported on form 44 for not meeting non-residency obligation.

    -Carry copies with you on plane of at least some of these physical proofs, in somewhat organized form. -Prepare yourself mentally - however works for you - to answer questions along lines of "what kept you from returning earlier." You want your answers to be relatively brief and to hit the 'top...

    Proactively giving fingerprints in case it's requested

    Not worth the effort - not that many get asked for fingerprints - and may not prove possible to link to the citizenship application (don't know).

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It seems that the Vancouver office 'owns' (is called primary) files when they do security screening (as far as I can tell, that means for all files, although possibly ones that get semi-automatic clearance or lowest level either aren't attributed to vancouver or only for a very short period of...

    Consequences of being reported on form 44 for not meeting non-residency obligation.

    There are persistent discussions of which airport vs another. My opinion, there's no reliable, verifiable, basis to know, nor even minimally consistent anecdotes that would lead one to make a decision on that basis. Same as far as I can tell for choosing between different land ports of entry...
