    Need help with my wife's situation (WP/PR)

    I'm going to defer to others - I think what you may need to do is submit for either a restoration of status or TRP.

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    You keep your own records. The date on the card is irrelevant. It is just the date of expry of the card. In my opinion, crossing that often when you are ALREADY out of compliance is risky and possibly not viable. What will you do if (when?) they warn you? As noted, they may be more likely to...

    Have you already submitted the sponsorship application?

    Applying without Estranged Non-accompanying Minor Medical

    This comes up from time to time. There is no one solution. (If you had proof he had married or common law [residing together more than one year], that would make him no longer a dependant) I think what you've got is ... what you can get. Go with that. No-one can tell you how long this might...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    Don't understand your question. Bottom line, you're going to have to keep track and do the arithmetic yourself. Keep in mind that any part-day you spend in Canada counts as a day in Canada, eg leave Monday morning, come back Tuesday evening, zero 'days outside Canada.' Whether that works for...

    Multi-country travel on Citizenship Application

    This is all that's needed. I'd keep the reason box even shorter: eg long visit to parents in Pakistan / pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. Up to you if you think the extra detail serves any purpose, choose the wording that fits. I understood your concern. Again: I don't think this is an issue. It...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yes, we did. I believe all MPs offices' will require this.

    Already in canada (spousal sponsorship) goods to follow

    Reasonable points. I've never seen anyone do it themselves this way, but good point. As for the bills of lading - I wasn't suggesting it's the /only/ paperwork, just part of what's applicable for new settlers/returning.

    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...

    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...
