    Multi-country travel on Citizenship Application

    1. Yes. List one of the countries on the drop-down, you can add (I think?) the name of the other country in the space for comments/reasons. 2. Yes. 3. Not necessary in my opinion, but if it makes you feel better.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes. Not long, don't recall exaclty, but less than two weeks. It was of course not very useful, same info as on the portal.

    Already in canada (spousal sponsorship) goods to follow

    This is a situation where overthinking may be the biggest barrier. It sounds like in your case it's just odds and ends and personal stuff with no significant monetary value. And the easy route is frankly probably just to bring them with you when you travel sometime. If asked, just say it's some...

    Passport renewal before landing in Canada

    I largely agree with the above by @M A Hassan , that it's probably easier to renew your passport after landing in Canada. To reassure on thing - the PR card is in no way 'tied' to the physical passport afterwards. You will be allowed to board flights back to Canada with the new passport and the...

    Canadian Citizen with PR spouse - Critical Immigration Questions

    I doubt the certificate of departure issue will come up, really - although not so strong on the details of that process. Even if, it should likely not be fatal to a subsequent sponsorship again. But I somewhat doubt it will come to that. One factor is that I /think/ they somewhat rarely issue a...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    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...

    citizenship applications stuck for too long - Those with AOR before May 2025 - Let's gather here and update

    Meaning what?

    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...
