    Yes, I'd keep that 'option' only for emergencies. (To be clear)

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    I do not have a strong opinion overall but note a few minor things for your background (caveat that I don't consider myself an expert, and you perhaps ought to consider consulting a lawyer): -I don't know why you've ruled out PRTD. With a history of compliance before departing and if a short...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    I really have no opinion overall. It is possible it could have an effect either way, although my gut reaction is likely not a large one and my base assumption is 'probably wouldn't hurt?' (Question mark intentional - I have a low level of confidence in this response) If you do write, suggest...

    Canadian Citizen with PR spouse - Critical Immigration Questions

    It's a good point - one of the factors I ranked low in this case, as they seem to have no plans to return to Canada anytime soon.

    Canadian Citizen with PR spouse - Critical Immigration Questions

    To be clear (and because I'm curious), are you suggesting the PR card renewal in preference to just getting a PRTD (and hoping it is long-tenor)? If so, why? [I do think it is somewhat subjective as to which is better, so no criticism intended]

    Spousal sponsorship

    You don't have to give me the context, I was just saying that I don't know the rest of your file - i.e. from the info above I don't see any obvious issue. I suggest you start going through the sponsorship application to see what info you can provide. Less "hopes and dreams" - you're not...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Write a short explanation about the circumstances incl why parents not invited, provide good evidence of your relationship over the years and some of / from those that attended the wedding, and apply. If you have good evidence, unlikely to be a big problem - it's clearly not an arranged...

    Lost Passport Before Citizenship Application.... Can I still apply?

    Just follow the instructions. It's not that common, but it does happen. If you follow the instructions, they will not return it as incomplete.

    Canadian Citizen with PR spouse - Critical Immigration Questions

    Good point. Canada doesn't care, but some companies (and as a result some courier companies) won't take all things.

    Canadian Citizen with PR spouse - Critical Immigration Questions

    Yes, it can be couriered. BUT: if it is expensive and timing problematic, repeat a point made above - you can apply for a PRTD while abroad, and if approved, travel to Canada without issue during the period of the PRTD's validity (it's basically a visa for a PR). The downside is that PRTD...

    Lost PR card and beiing asked humanitarian and compassionate considerations for residency requirement

    So they already have the TRVs and they are still valid? If so, there should be no problem. As far as arriving, they should mainly keep two things in mind: i) don't travel with all of their worldly belongings; amounts carried should be consistent with the length of visit they're claiming (eg six...

    Lost PR card and beiing asked humanitarian and compassionate considerations for residency requirement

    Again: -once IRCC issues a visa (eg the trv for your spouse and child - if of course they do), border services rarely challenges it unless there is some explicit reason to do so. Even you being out of compliance would not really be a reason to do so (IMO), nor would there likely be notification...

    How does IEC Canada work?

    Suggest you look at the various fora and reddits and things like that, as well as job boards. There's an enormous number of young people from abroad land up in Banff or other places like that during the high seasons and work all the seasonal jobs. I'm sure there are in Calgary as well. I'm not...

    Lost PR card and beiing asked humanitarian and compassionate considerations for residency requirement

    It is fairly common now for spouses + kids to be able to get visitor visas (TRV), and spouse can apply for a work permit once arrived in Canada. You can look up and research in the family sponsorship forum here about 'family reunification' and experiences. With that TRV it is basically...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    I don't understand your arithmetic - but the date to do all calculations is the date from which one became a PR. Including, importantly, that only days in the most recent five years count (or from day one became a PR, whichever is more recent). Meaning, after 1 April 2028, your days from 1 April...

    PR card renewal obligations

    Early on, the poster says "can I travel outside Canada and return using a PRTD while still being able to meet my residency obligation by the end of my first five years?", in the context of only having 11 days. I perhaps misinterpreted, but I took that to mean planned to stay longer than 11 days...

    PR card renewal obligations

    I don't think those cases are remotely comparable. Or at least, only by stretching the sense of comparable. Different applications, different agencies, different implications, different process, different compliance status. "Slow walking" a PR card renewal for someone who has less than one year...
