    What dates of study permit and PGWP to input for physical calculator for citizenship application. Thanks

    I did and it was not an issue. I was able to record the actual dates accurately on the web app and it submitted successfully. My understanding is no, the occasional short job isn't important. No harm in including it, but folks here have left it off without issues.

    What dates of study permit and PGWP to input for physical calculator for citizenship application. Thanks

    ah right, i just meant - make it a separate entry from your PGWP dates - mark it as foreign worker in the drop down - if you have a place to add notes, note down that you were on maintained status. - include the proof of maintained status as part of the supporting docs when you get to that...

    What dates of study permit and PGWP to input for physical calculator for citizenship application. Thanks

    That user hasn't been seen in months so you might need to wait for a reply. You might have better luck asking the original OP (who at least checked in the forum earlier today). That said, I stand by my original answer - once you applied for PGWP you're a foreign worker on implied status, so...

    How do I fix mistakes made early in a military sexual assault investigation before my case goes to a court‑martial?

    I believe that this would not help at all. I understood OP was facing the military justice system in Canada - this website is for lawyers in the US. The two are not interchangable.

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    Agreed - since the latest OP's travel is planned for before the WP expires, all is good. (Unless OP got stuck for some reason and couldn't come back until say July? Presumably OP wouldn't be so unlucky.) More generally though, I would raise a point of concern. As I wrote earlier, the temporary...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    But the RTD doesn't give an automatic right to work in Canada, I think? I believe the concern here was making sure that the short trip could happen without endangering the right to work (i.e. the poster didn't want to have to quit or take a sabbatical from their current employer upon returning...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    Since your work permit doesn't expire until June, it should be fine. Actually I don't think this makes a difference. Traveling while the work permit is still valid is okay, but traveling once on maintained status is bad - once you're on maintained status you lose the ability to work if you...

    Work permit VISA question

    Ah, good to know. This catches me by surprise - I take this to mean that we were wrong about the OP's friend being able to work on his old work permit. Rather, as per these ATIP notes, the status flowing from the old work permit is automatically lost, meaning the OP's friend can't work until a...

    Religious Marriage Certificate

    A bad combo of staying up too late and doomscrolling leading to blurry eyes and misread dates. That said - while I generally try not to post in threads inactive for years, if it's only been a handful of months or so I think it's tad more reasonable. I hope the minor disruption is worth having...

    undeclared marital status

    Whoops, I forgot to check the age of the post before responding. I wonder if that's kinda bad though, since I was the only one to answer the poster I was replying to, that means that poster never got an answer to their query :confused:

    Dual Citizenship Issues on Marriage Certificate

    Seems risky. Not sure if they actually do this, but in theory they could have the e-gate flag people at random for spot checks - at which point an officer would likely take a look at question about the lack of the "non Chinese documents" (i.e. the visa to enter Canada that's missing from the...

    undeclared marital status

    This was an interesting find. I imagine it works both ways - not only can OP sponsor her new husband, but her ex-husband can marry someone in Canada and get sponsored to Canada that way. Its only the OP + ex-husband combination that can't work. (This is also hinted at in...

    Sponsoring spouse with out of status in the

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    My understanding is that this is not a big deal. You have maintained status while the application for the new permit is pending. You don't lose maintained status just because the WP-EXT letter has expired. The problem is the wait is now so long - 210 days, was 227 a bit earlier in this thread -...

    Religious Marriage Certificate

    My understanding is that this is not enough by itself, you need to follow the process described in https://canada.blsattestation.com/marriage-certificate-attestation.php to get the Government of the Republic of India to attest that the documents are true and valid. My understanding is that...

    Undeclared Common-law when me and my partner became PR independently

    Of course not. Common law requires the two elements - the romantic relationship and the cohabitation. Roommates obviously only meet one of them and thus don't qualify. Now it can get blurry - I personally know someone who was in a mixed-gender roommate situation with multiple roommates. So the...

    Spousal sponsorship based on court marriage

    Agreed, that is helpful to know. Alas, what's extra confusing about the terminology used by the forms themselves is that, under the law, "family class" seems to cover both cases (or in other words, "family class" seems to cover both inland and outland - which is different to how you explain it...

    Spousal OUTLAND application Virtual landing confusion

    OP hasn't been back since the month of the post, which was too short to know what happened. Unlike the senior forum member I might have recommended trying to use the upload to resubmit everything again (no harm in doing it twice to make sure they get it at least once, I guess? Mostly this is due...

    Work permit VISA question

    There are a couple of circumstances where one is suppose to assume that a work permit is automatically invalidated (primarily, when once receives PR, all temporary documents are considered as being cancelled at that point in time). However, I personally have had multiple valid work permits...

    Protected Person - Open work permit renewal

    Based on the 210 days expected working time, I'd answer yes to that.
