    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Odd set-up, unusual to get calls like that. But stuff happens.

    Clarification on open work permit for spousal application

    It covers outland as well. It used to be only inland. It was changed.

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    I agree that some info will say this, and some others will contradict. I'm working from intuition/experience with other institutions: what I'd call a cascading approval hierarchy, but I'm sure there are other names for it. Lending and investment companies (banks etc) use similar hierarchies...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't think the risk is that high in this case, you're already ahead of others in that hyou thought about it.

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Well it looks legitimate overall, in that the email does appear to be an official one and you can find info on internet suggesting a person with that name works for govt (I'd suggest NOT clicking on the link or just replying but typing in the email, because there are ways to spoof that). But...

    PR commuting to the US for work while sponsoring spouse for inland PR

    What is your status in Canada and do you need some new/continuing type of status (i.e. based on the spousal sponsorship)? Or do you have a status that is good for the expected processing time (e.g. 12 months or so)? Because two possibilities (not the only ones): 1) Apply as...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    My understanding - based both on where this note was found (IRCC website, not a HoC committee site) and familiarity with the form: this "if pressed" makes clear this is a briefing note for 'an official' - i.e. the Minister, a deputy minister, or other senior- in this case testifying (or...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    One small point to add to this: I feel at least somewhat confident in saying that - while not a formal H&C 'reason' - IRCC officers are quite aware that a PR who is married to a Canadian can (and likely will) be sponsored again, and likely approved (eventually). In other words, revoking PR...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    To recall, just for clarity, @Maple66 wrote this: Overall I am going from the gut that they are not attempting to play 'gotcha' in this suggestion. I could be wrong - so why I support the suggestion about speaking to a lawyer. One VERY important point: it appears that @Maple66 is in Canada and...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I do not 'know.' My reading is simplistic: it seems to mean a grant interview needed, and it should be in-person. No idea more than that.

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    It's up to you. They use the tax history primarily to confirm physical presence. If physical presence confirmed otherwise, a few days won't likely be relevant. If the casual employment was irrelevant to the PR application (which would usually be the case, I believe) there should be no...

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    No. Don't believe entirely necessary to mention these very short term casual jobs for citizenship application, though. Your decision.

    Can PR sponsor leave canada for 3 weeks ?

    Residency Obligation not completed in last 5 years

    You left out the key bit of information that one child is not a PR at all. You should consider speaking to a lawyer and at least getting a consultation. Generally it is 'not recommended' to apply to sponsor when one is not in compliance with the RO - it can, in theory, lead to a review of the...

    Only one Letter of support is ok?

    If other evidence is good, you're probably fine entirely wthout letters of support. Use your judgment.

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    Since I presume this is directed at me: -There's nothing in your link that indicates a dormant SIN means one cannot use their SIN to work. -There's nothing in there that suggests a requirement that having some 'current' (eg recently issued) PR card is required to reactivate the card. -The stated...

    Living in Canada applying for outland spousal sponsorship

    1. Entirely up to IRCC based on their own workload management. 2. Outland but these are very rough guidelines. Many go faster than the posted (consider the posted to mean ~80% of files processed within that time)

    Child born abroad

    "Too long" for what purpose? Do as I suggested above - apply for citizenship certificate, keep a copy, go to consular section in country, and apply for passport. They will issue the passport - if everything in order - on basis the child is presumed a citizen in time for travel. Then travel to...
