    Do I have the right to PRTD, and how do I deal with the fields where I don't have an answer?

    To be clear, it's not required to engage a lawyer to assist or even to consult with one. It might be a good idea - it might improve chances of success with the PRTD, to at least know what to emphasize in order to increase chances of IRCC approving the PRTD under H&C reasons. It might also cost...

    Do I have the right to PRTD, and how do I deal with the fields where I don't have an answer?

    While I've no personal opinion on this, you should be aware that there are some indications IRCC is being a bit more strict / less lenient about cases IRCC refers to as "removed as a minor", i.e. where the child had no say in staying/remaining or not. Specifically - they seem to look at how...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Not yet. Last month they updated on the 12th, so perhaps early.

    PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED DECEMBER 2025

    PR card renewal for spouse submitted end-January, no sign of any movement whatsoever - until this week when returning from a business trip, was sent to secondary at passport control. They looked it up and advised new card approved/issued over the weekend and should be on its way (seemed...

    PRTD - First PR Card

    This was addressed in @sodapop123 's post: "Option 3 - Fly back without PRTD to USA (if you have a valid visa or don't require one)" emphasis mine

    moving elsewhere after getting PR through PNP (employer-supported)

    -There is very little information available about how many such cases are even looked at by IRCC, let alone issues coming up. That is /probably/ because not many cases like this ever lead to any problems. -One major caveat: check your SINP documentation, and whether there was any hard commitment...

    PRTD with R-1 category

    Agree with above - but it's NOT unusual to get asked questions, just answer truthfully and don't overthink it. You have the PRTD which amounts to approval.

    First-time landing requirement based on COPR received via SINP PNP program

    Ah, I had written based on understanding your stay in Saskatoon was a stop on way to Regina. The COPR itself is not the issue, it is whether the specifics of your PNP program requires you to be in a specific city or not. I do not know the answer to that (as far as I'm aware most PNP programs...

    PRTD with R-1 category

    Are you in compliance with the residency obligation or not? If so - no issues. If not - since it's recently issued, they at border likely will not ask questions apart from routine, or if they do, just tell them the truth; basically at border they're going to take it that the officers at IRCC...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Oh, do chill out. It's an ID card. Take a picture. You'll soon enough have a passport, way nicer doc. They say they take it to reduce risk of identity fraud and the like. Whether that still makes sense - not my bailiwick.

    First-time landing requirement based on COPR received via SINP PNP program

    It's not an issue. If asked, just tell the truth, stop-off / whatever in Saskatoon before you head to Regina. Note that at the port of landing (i.e. Toronto), they will want to confirm a mailing address to which to send the PR card.

    PR question common law breakup

    I agree with this overall BUT: -the partner can inform IRCC - and it has happened (in real life) that unhappy partners can make untrue allegations about what happened and when. -the real background is that you (@mbilli) have PR status in your own right and that would be reviewable only if eg the...

    COPR Expiry

    I'm not IRCC and not a doctor. I expect most of the staff at IRCC would consider a note from a doctor to be valid that mentions [some conditions] and recommendation not to travel until symptoms subside or a specific period of time.

    COPR Expiry

    The parent should contact the visa office which issued the COPR and see what can be done. But first: get a doctor's note, in writing, with specific instructions not to travel and why (and if the condition is contagious, make sure to have that noted too). To understand, also critical to know...

    Minor 5(2) application submitted while outside Canada

    Just putting a sort-of marker down for this for others to note - that although it's easy to say that on paper 'the child IS a citizen', it's not exactly correct, and that extends to the PR status being invalidated. Neither happen 'automatically.' I'm not a lawyer so I'm going to put it this...

    Minor 5(2) application submitted while outside Canada

    Yes, I shouldn't rule anything out, it's always possible some asinine twit could come along in a few years and decide something got out of hand, and my kid would have to prove that it's irrelevant anyway as resided in Canada well past the 1095 day requirement anyway (implying then having to...

    preparing renew my pr card

    I believe you get an email upon submission just confirming receipt of the application. And as far as I'm aware in most cases the card just shows up in your mailbox without much in the way of online confirmation. At least for those that are processed quickly, which does seem to be in most cases...

    Minor 5(2) application submitted while outside Canada

    As weird as it sounds, I believe @Seym has this exactly right - and what I had wrong is that I forgot that automatically becoming a citizen invalidated the PR status. We could do a sideline marginal discussion that would continue for ages about cases that both the law and IRCC's instructions...

    Minor 5(2) application submitted while outside Canada

    Could you specify where you saw this? I looked at the site here but did not see anything I interpreted that way. I think this is the primary (only?) text that covers the situation for your child: "If you were born outside of Canada before December 15, 2025, you’re likely a Canadian citizen if...

    Risk of Being Reported for Residency Obligation Shortfall When Moving Permanently in 2027

    1. No-one can tell you for sure. You'll hear many different opinions on this, and in the end, it does not matter if I/Bob from accounting/everyone tells you chances are 'low' and then you do get reported. 2. Consequences include being reported under the 44(1) procedure and having to appeal a...
