    Accidentally put web form to withdraw spousal sponsorship application

    It's fairly clear that it did go through. That poster posted a timeline a few months later showing that the sponsorship application is proceeding and moving forward, see...

    Travel with PR card expiring in 1 month

    I'm sure you've long since made it in - but for posterity, what I'd recommend for folks who are in a similar situation in the future is to get as refundable a plane ticket you can and in the worst case, if you are delayed until after your PR card is expired... Fly into KBLI and from that...

    Moving to Canada without a Job Offer (as a Citizen): Thoughts on the Matter

    What I wonder here is if the other poster is conflating the two paragraphs - which actually describe separate issues. The 2nd one is real, as you point out. But it has nothing to do with the 1st one (which in my experience isn't true - if two candidates are otherwise equally good including in...

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    Thanks for pointing that out, can't believe I missed that.

    Spousal application returned because of family information - confused

    You are the sponsor and your husband is the principal applicant (if it helps, the way I remember this is to recall that the applicant is the one who is applying to receive PR - the applicant is the one applying to get something; meanwhile the sponsor doesn't get any new status from the app)...

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    So I think there are some important details missing from your posts. Hmm, how did you become a PR? Was it via an economic stream like Express Entry, or some other way? This is important. Do you have this language in the above letter? > Your sponsor immigrated to Canada under an immigration...

    Work Permit Withdrawn?

    So since PRTD was refused you've never applied for PR? This sounds like it's an error - I'd try applying again but include the letter from IRCC stating that PRTD was denied and a Letter of Explanation that you write yourself to state that you never appealed this decision and currently do not...

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

    So your post is extremely vague. It's not even clear if you're the one being court-martialed, if you're the accuser on the opposite side of the perp who's getting court-martialed, or a witness of some sort. In the latter cases, it's also unclear if you're also in the military or not. The...

    Becoming a Destitute Student to gain work experience as a caregiver.

    I'm guessing that in cases like this, failing to finish school means leaving Canada, possibly for good. So becoming a destitute student allows folks like OP to save enough money to return to school and finish, and from there presumably get a PGWP and apply for PR after three years work...

    Implied Status time period eligibility for CEC

    Sure, though it doesn't really matter what it's called, generally the advice on this forum is to listen to your lawyer. So since the extra work experience will be counted, it seems to me like this was good advice? I am guessing that this got you to whatever minimum amount of experience you...

    Implied Status time period eligibility for CEC

    In case there's any doubt, I did find a couple of lawyers online confirming this advice (that it will indeed be counted even though the extension was refused) - see https://www.askalawyeroncall.com/law/sxttn-gain-months-legal-canadian-work-experience.html and...

    Super Visa Renewal Or Extension For Parents

    As others have written already, it's not normally extendable, except by applying for visitor records while in Canada (which is technically a different type of application). Is this like truncated or something? How many years total was the super visa actually good for, from start the end? I'm...

    So I haven't been following the threads for later months.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    Agreed. So (while I do agree with going the air route) actually at least one of the senior members of this forum, armoured, has been tracking this (at least on and off). In his own words, In context - he was talking about folks who no longer had valid PR cards due to the cards expiring. But...

    Moving to Canada without a Job Offer (as a Citizen): Thoughts on the Matter

    I know I'm late but I just wanted to point out from my own personal experience that this is absolutely not true. Back in 2022, I had personal experience with rejection - a third-party recruiter for a big well known Canadian company said they couldn't move forward with me since I wasn't a PR yet...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I think some of the laws may simply be out of date. Remember that ChatGPT is only two and a half years old at this point. Meanwhile, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that the law behind this requirement - that the text was last updated in the aughts, if not even earlier. In fairness, and in a...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Aha, then it's certain that IRCC did know about your old passport - including when it expired. This makes me slightly more confident that the accidental omission is the reason for requesting the scan and the interview. Remember you just got asked for an interview. You didn't get RQ'd. So I...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    You mean non-Latin? (Otherwise, I think one could reasonably maintain that these are the parts and names in English/French, even if some diacritics or even "extended Latin" letters (e.g. Æ from Danish or ł in Polish or ñ in Spanish) are involved. Outside of governmentdom at least, it's not...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Not sure. Presumably the reason you're asking is because you didn't use the old passport once you got the new one in Feb 2020, and therefore there's nothing relevant in it since you haven't traveled on it during the eligibility period. However, there's a common refrain on this forum. "If in...
