    CITIZENSHIP Application Returned -asking to resubmit IELTS proof - Please help

    It will 'start over.' While it may not be required to recalculate (in most cases*), would it really be worth the risk to NOT recalculate and resubmit? Of course recalculate with updated dates. * It is technically possible for some to have the number of days in Canada actually fall below the...

    Citizenship Application returned - processing time

    It will start all over, if returned for resubmission.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I do not know about the OWP/security screening issue. All i have heard is that in the best cases, OWP can take several months, so it's questionable to rely upon ability to work while waiting.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I keep reading that people believe this, that there's some bimodal thing where it's either less than 12 months or more than 24. I don't see any reason to believe that. If my rough estimate/reading between lines is correct, it's more like the numbers go down with decreasing speed, and then...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I /think/ - having kept some records of this from the last few months - that currently (as of this Mar 11 update) means that there are ~4700 individuals in our (monthly) cohort, down from ~5800 last month, i.e. there should have been about 1100 cleared. (I assume at this stage this means that...

    For renewals where the PR is in compliance with the residency obligation, renewals have been very fast (most < 60 days) for a couple of years now.

    Generally speaking IRCC approves as a matter of course visitor records/visitor extensions for those with family/spouse sponsorships in process.

    PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED DECEMBER 2025

    At any rate, received the PR card in the post. I haven't counted exact days but 40-45 calendar days. Tracker still shows nothing at all except submitted.

    Grant Clearance Pending , Background and prohibition stuck in security screening

    It's more likley that they misspoke, IMO, i.e. that it was actually CSIS. Or made a reference possibly to some internal section in IRCC, or used a blanket term that you didn't catch.

    Grant Clearance Pending , Background and prohibition stuck in security screening

    There aren't that many agencies left after that, really - RCMP, but I don't see their role if it's not something domestic (which you would probably know about, like criminal charges), or IRCC itself.

    Grant Clearance Pending , Background and prohibition stuck in security screening

    Most likely CBSA.

    PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED DECEMBER 2025

    I have received mail in 1-2 days - it is possible. Less common these days, but still possible. And yeah, I'm surprised they don't have expedited/registered service for PR cards (even just pick-up at post office). It'd easily be worth $20-50 for many. I'd rather they charge extra for some things...

    PR CARD RENEWAL SUBMITTED DECEMBER 2025

    Yep, 'it depends' is my experience with Canada Post - although I'm not actually clear where the PR card is being posted from. (Anyone know?) No real complaints, just hoping it comes quicker. BTW my actual experience - that I see all the time here - IRCC tends to say / respond "it has been sent"...

    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...

    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
