    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    When I said which agency, I meant whether you submitted the request to IRCC or to CBSA. At any rate, the important part wwas whether or not it says anywhere if any info was exempted (that is, not disclosed to you) from the gcms notes. (There usually is, as far as I am aware, but definitely...

    Need advice – boyfriend about to receive eCOPR but our common-law becomes 12 months in 2 weeks. Should we delay his PR?

    I only have one important piece of information, which is this: your partner MUST add you to his app - IMMEDIATELY - if you complete your 12 months and become common law before he becomes a PR. (This will/should result in the PR app being paused/suspended utnil you are approved to be added). If...

    PR Card Renewal applications Jan/Feb 2026

    Had posted some info in other threads - applied end January for renewal, received in post early this week. Only wrinkle along the way was PR getting shunted to secondary on arrival at airport (twice) - after new card approved but before received (acc to CBSA officer).

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    In the information you received - or particularly in the cover letter from whichever agency you got it - is there any reference at all to exemptions from the privacy act, for example, Section 21 (or other section)?

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    None of this contains any indication as to where the security clearances are, which is the biggest cause of delays. That's likely where it has been for those 22 weeks, and the conclusion of how close it is or isn't seems based on very little to me. (How much is being done or not while in...

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

    Revisiting this, I happened to listen to a podcast, Borderlines, specifically speaking about mobility rights. I was rather hoping it would address this issue. Which it did, sort of - but only in two short points, really almost an aside - which I interpret to mean that for these lawyers, it's...

    That may have come across as rude to you - not intended that way. I'm just mocking AI.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I'm astounded you think that a google summary of the minimal inputs you provided will tell you much. (Was this so-called artificial intelligence? Because it really is artificial, in this instance - in the sense of not actual intelligence. But roughly as confident in its conclusions, despite no...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    That's a decent rough guideline she gave - I'm not going to say that this is the exact time/earliest one can or should be filed, but as a 'not before', a simple and helpful rule of thumb. FYI - currently the tracker/processing times thing is showing 'more time needed' for applications filed in...

    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...

    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...

    preparing renew my pr card

    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.
