    Sponsoring my Common Law Partner separately from her Dependents

    Okay - since now you're being clear, your question can be addressed. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5289-sponsor-your-spouse-common-law-partner-conjugal-partner-dependent-child-complete-guide.html Short answer, the...

    Sponsoring my Common Law Partner separately from her Dependents

    I for one do not understand - what exactly are you trying to achieve by having the children as non-accompanying? They clearly are intending to stay. Non-accompanying does mean that you're not applying for PR status now but might in future - but it ALSO means you're saying the children do not...

    No updates in my Citizenship application

    I don't think that word-representation corresponds to facts. I've been doing some extended tracking from the 'current processing times' website, over several months, and the idea that files stop getting processed after ~16 months or so does not look to be true. What it does look like is that...

    Immigration status question in application

    In my opinion, yes.

    I am a Canadian citizen but I stopped by immigration at the airport because I previously had a refugee status

    Try your MP's office, call/write, explain the problem, that you believe it is a mistaken flag due to your previous status that no longer applies, and could they help resolve it. Emphasize that this is not just an inconvenience to you, it is a waste of security/customs/immigration officers'...

    Mistake / misrepresentation please advise

    No experience. Since you followed the advice of some consultants in doing this, suggest you ask them.

    Outland Spousal Sponsorship – Proof of Intent to Reside Review (Citizen living abroad, pregnant wife, parked assets)

    1. I disagree with categorical comments above about whether one thing or another (eg what you suggest here) is [enough or not enough.] Truth is, no-one knows. Provide what you have. It's a start at least. BUT: you should be prepared for IRCC to send you a follow-up request some time after you...

    Question on 3 year of tax filing

    I'm not aware that there are specific requirements for corporations/partnerships - BUT I'm not going to say outright because it's possible they could be involved in some way. Ask a tax expert.

    Long wait for LPP

    With all due consideration for your points, some of which are quite good, the idea that the travel histories are the main problem for delays for most is not, IMO, true. They can be a delay. They can be a serious delay. But by far the biggest cause of long delays appears to be...

    Renewal of PR card while living abroad with Canadian spouse "Situation B"

    Then my guess is she won't have any trouble, overall - don't see any of the things that sometimes come up as issues. Note that /usually/ one has to be in Canada to apply for a PR card. She can simplify things IMO by just applying for a PRTD in country where you are (same information, really)...

    Renewal of PR card while living abroad with Canadian spouse "Situation B"

    Has your spouse resided in Canada at all since becoming a PR? (i.e. was she in Canada until 2021?) Was the PR by sponsorship (.e. you sponsored her)? 'You have been cohabitating during this time' - which time? Did you move more or less together? I don't know what 'Situation B' is.

    Citizenship application tracker status.

    Yes, you're overthinking. Files progress at different speeds. Far too early to read too much into it.

    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    This sometimes happens for applicants when they've already turned green and then (it seems) decide they need to request fingerprints (again?). Can't say for all cases but it doesn't seem to mean that it all starts over, just that they need to re-set the background bit in the system in order to...

    Deadlines to return Canada and to renew PR Card

    Sorry, I perhaps did not state explicitly: yes, if you're allowed to enter and not issued the 44(1) report, you can just stay in Canada with an expired card. One does not need a valid PR card to reside in Canada.

    Got reported 44(1)

    The utility of debating with and/or explaining to others here is probably not high. You have other things you should focus on and I doubt this is helping your anxiety. Up to you of course. I'm going to highlight this (or rather I have bolded it) as an example of thinking through what you want...

    Got reported 44(1)

    Your interview is in August with IRCC or CBSA officer? Obviously if you're going to consult with a lawyer, it may make sense to do so beforehand. That said, I don't think this means that you have to have a lawyer represent you at that stage or be at the interview - your choice. (And you will...

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

    I agree with this point overall but will (again) repeat the point that what matters at the time of application is being in compliance with the residency obligation. Being in compliance means having fewer than 1095 days outside of Canada in the last five years (but discarding any days prior to...

    Citizenship with kids included in the application

    To underline: don't apply this route with the children included BEFORE they are PRs. It will just cause delays. So either wait until they are PRs, or get citizenship alone (without the children), and after that, a 5(2) applications for the PR-children (separate application for each of the...

    I have done a proxy marriage, I dont know its not acceptable. What is next please ?

    You spoke to a lawyer. What did the lawyer say? All through this thread the advice has been the same. I am not aware of any other option other than getting married again - how this is done, you'll have to figure out.
