    Restoration of Visitor Status refused. Can i still apply for inland spousal pr?

    You may want to consider applying 'outland' even though you are in Canada. This is fairly common and there is even space on the form for it. There used to be more differences than there are now between inland/outland. Notably the work permit possibility is now roughly equal (but sounds like...

    How to fill 1 day being in flight for address history?

    It's probably the one on the PR card as that info would be taken direct from the database. If you have to use it elsewhere, that's what i'd use just in case, add a letter of explanation if you think it's an issue.

    Canadian PR Entry Concerns: Crossing Canada border with Family from Detroit USA without meeting Residency Obligation

    Agree that it all comes down to priorities and resourcing. It's easy to get the impression from a forum about people's residency obligations (which is not surprisingly going to attract posts about problems with the residency obligation) that there are a lot or that it's a huge problem...

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    When did he apply for the mandamus and how long did it take after the mandamus app to get notified or a response and then the oath invitation?

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I can only interpolate from my own experience and especially comparing with CBSA notes (CBSA redacts a bit less) - but to sum up probably that missing half page has the basic info that the sub-activity consists of the IRCC office/officer requesting a CIT CSIS Screening (presumably meaning...

    No final decision and passport request letter after receiving Correspondence letter on May 12th

    I'm worried whether or not there's a reason to worry.

    Final Decision May 2026 - No email or tracker down

    It's not that uncommon for there to be a delay. You coudl call IRCC if you wish. Make sure to check your emails and spam inboxes.

    In-Person Citizenship Interview: Should I Translate Old Passports from Before the 5-Year Eligibility Period?

    This was our experience as well. Of course we can't know if the officer actually spent time looking at stuff before, but I did not get that impression. And in our case there was a certain importance about a few of the stamps - because CBSA info missed one exit and two of the stamps showed when...

    In-Person Citizenship Interview: Should I Translate Old Passports from Before the 5-Year Eligibility Period?

    We did not have an in-person interview but did provide copies of all passports with stamps for an online interview. We did not do translations of stamps. Now important note: we did not have ANY visas with extended details that were not in English or French. It was just stamps. the vast, vast...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Go ahead and renew your PR card. Spouse did it, got the new card by mail in less than 60 days. Pretty quick for those with no issues and in-country (and if you applied for citizenship recently, your residency obligation should be good too). It's fairly easy and not that time consuming...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Security: [blank] likely means that has been redacted (whited out) by whoever provided this. You may seen an activity / sub-activity with a large blank area (roughly half a page) - or more likley activity without a sub-activity - which seems to mean a whole block has been whited out as well.

    Should I apply for Citizenship, PP expiring in 5 months

    Really doesn't matter either way. Personally I'd prioritze getting the citizenship app in. But up to you.

    Clarification on "update your application" in recent communication

    Just do what they ask. No special steps. Don't know what the other is on about there - doesn't seem to apply to your case at any rate.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    I do not think anyone cares remotely enough about one day difference in this context, as long as they are addresses within the same country. One could argue either approach, I would simply choose one of those and stick to that.

    Clarification on "update your application" in recent communication

    Yes. It's approved (subject to nothing important having changed). If one of those things were to have changed and you did not inform as required, that would be misrepresentation, and there could be consequences later - that's the logic. (He'll be asked to reiterate/swear these things by...

    Received PPR for Child’s PR, but Travel to Canada is Scheduled – What Should We Do?

    You could delay departure until he gets the passport back, or do the final procedures in Canada. Decide.

    How to fill 1 day being in flight for address history?

    Days that you were not in Canada (before the passport stamping) are days outside of Canada. It's overthinking to believe you must account separately for the time in between. Just put your departure date from home country as July 14.

    PR Card Renewal Before Completing 730 Days: Can I Apply Within 9-Month Renewal Window?

    The way to look at the PR card renewal is not 'have I accumulated 730 days in Canada yet', but whether you are in compliance with the residency obligation. This is calculated as: total number of days OUTSIDE Canada in the last five years (but discard all days before becoming a PR). If that...
