    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ahhh - that's exactly what I did last time (for my PR app) and that's also exactly what happened (CBSA came thru before IRCC). But right now I have a different, unrelated PA request with CBSA - I've never tried to have multiple outstanding PA requests before with the same agency. Now, it seems...

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

    The other thing I'm not sure about - perhaps a good lawyer could write to the relevant part of IRCC or CBSA that houses the MD? Write a package to convince the MD that your 44 report should be overturned, saving everyone the trouble of fighting the order later on? Might be better to take this on...

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

    Not sure. So the issue is that if a 44 report has been made and passed to the MD, then your days stop counting. So you wouldn't be able to be given a PR card until the 44 report is cleared up. However, poking IRCC with the renewal app after you've hit 730 days might cause them to poke the MD...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Finally applied for my GCMS notes from IRCC. Let's see what comes back. Also - I've gotten faster responses from CBSA before, but unlike a PR app, I'm not sure if CBSA would have anything at all regarding a citizenship application..

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    That makes more sense! Thanks for confirming. So earlier I did write this, But to be clear, I meant in the "can" case - if it's optional, don't bother. However, based on what you've said, it's pretty clear that from IRCC's POV that you must do it. Within reason, I'd never recommend that...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    And then.. But then... So wait, did you submit a new urgent request with these additional details? Or did they suddenly change their mind and do urgent processing after all - after at first telling you that they are denying your request - after realizing that you found your card? Which would...

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

    I found https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/max-upload-limit-ircc-webform-too-low.618006/ which is slightly different (uploading via webforum rather than email, and smaller limit). However, the advice there was to submit multiples and label them with a LOE...

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

    Thanks to https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/consequences-of-being-reported-on-form-44-for-not-meeting-non-residency-obligation.876396/#post-11122037 I found out this is correct from a more authoratative source (h/t to dpenabill): Metallo v. Canada 2021 FC 575

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

    Not sure - I haven't needed to do this myself yet. Hopefully more experienced forum members can chime in - however I did find a source that says they look at the date that they assess the file (presumably meaning the day the officer actually picks up the file)...

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

    Probably a good idea to keep a copy of this going forward, just in case. But also, as they say, hindsight is 20/20. Yes. I think you can log into your PR Portal and there'll be someplace where you can see a copy of what you submitted. Otherwise, you can submit an ATIP request at...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    Alas, I am fairly certain that they won't do this. Yeah. I did want to bring up the ferry at St Pierre again - but same issue there, they're connected to whatever system is used for checking ETAs now and would be able to confirm that the PR card is no longer valid, same as an airline. Can or...

    Refugee Travel Document or Certificate of Identity after getting PR? (My previous Refugee Travel Document expired)

    Yep, that would be my guess at least.

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    ... In other words, IRCC is asking you to take the risky method. Unless the steps cover how to request and receive PRTD while still safely inside of Canada, I'd pass. Getting family to visit you on their TRVs is still the safest way forward at this point.

    Work Permit Withdrawn?

    That OP had a different circumstance. As per below, OP received eCoPR, thus the work permit application would never have been reopened. Based on what I saw in a different thread (that for some work permit renewals are taking six months or more) I think it's likely that you'd get your PR before...

    Refugee Travel Document or Certificate of Identity after getting PR? (My previous Refugee Travel Document expired)

    Generally - yes they can. Now, if you needed something on the very same day then it might not work (e.g. for citizenship, they warn that if you try to apply for a passport on the same day as your oath, like immediately after, then the system might not have updated) - but you're filing something...

    If it's only five days - I'd prefer to stay at home (in Canada). This sort of daily commute is sometimes hard even for folks who fully meet RO, see...

    Lost my PR card, but it was found

    I agree with armoured - won't hurt to ask, low confidence that it'd change anything. In fact, since your wife and daughter have or can get TRVs to visit you, I think that makes the case slightly weaker overall (as compared to someone who had no other options to meet with family) though I may be...

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

    Remember that you aren't out of compliance yet. If you don't actually leave Canada, you're on track to fully comply with the obligation in a year plus change. And the whole point of them coming to meet you is so you can follow the rules and stay in Canada to comply with RO, so ... I would be...

    PR card renewal obligations

    We'll just have to agree to having a difference of opinion here. Agreed - and already noted in my previous reply. Hmm. I went back to that thread and didn't see where the OP actually said this. Perhaps you saw a post elsewhere that I missed? (which is likely) That would make sense. Ah - I...
