    First PR card issue timeline

    Less than 90 days still within normal, more or less. You can try calling IRCC and mgiht get an answer of some utility - like if it has been mailed or returned - but you're also likely to hear that it's still being processed. Still probably worth calling.

    Citizenship application gap between study and work permit

    Small question - in your days of physical presence, are you relying upon any days from before you became a PR? Put differently, if you did not use any days before you became a PR (if you hypothetically excluded them all), do you still have 1095 days or more?

    Section 44 Report after CBSA allowed Entry

    Okay. It is a challenging task to say the least - if I read your comments correctly, you have/had 15+ years as a PR, most of which outside Canada. It will be hard to argue that whatever you had going on was 'preventing you from returning to Canada', as opposed to just living your life outside...

    Section 44 Report after CBSA allowed Entry

    I'm not aware that there is a particular format or methodology. A professional such as a lawyer might know. But one final attempt at a comment: at this point you've got over two years in Canada since returning, if I read this thread correctly, in October '24. You have family here, possibly...

    Common-law sponsorship – Relationship began while I was still legally married, but cohabitation started after separation

    In my opinion, you are overthinking - this situation is not that uncommon (divorce happening sometime after new common-law relationship has begun), and you have very little to worry about - at least as regards the 'morality' aspect and any attention IRCC might pay to this. You have twelve...

    PR applicants who may also be citizens-by-descent

    [Repeating content of my own post in the citizenship forum, as it seems to come up often enough for some spousal sponsorship cases- although technically could come up for PR applicants from any stream] As a side note, I presume that this policy would mean that an applicant that they consider...

    PR applicants who may also be citizens-by-descent

    As a side note, I presume that this policy would mean that an applicant that they consider possibly-a-citizen is also not eligible for a work permit (citizens have the right to work, so how could they be eligible for a work permit, which grants them the permission to work?). Leading to a...

    American moving to Canada Spousal sponsor

    @Charleslookingforhelp - important news article today, here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/immigration-permanent-resident-billc3-9.7409321 In short: there is, roughly as I expected, potentially a wrinkle for those that might be eligible for citizenship-by-descent (esp more than one gen)...

    PR Visa stamping delay

    You can of course give each step a few days, but the problem I have with the 'webform' approach is that it says right there - as I recall - that while webforms do eventually get read and acted upon (if there's some point of action), they can take weeks and weeks to even get to them to read, let...

    PR Visa stamping delay

    I perhaps missed that the passports were submitted to the visa office at the High Commission in Nairobi (presumably). Bluntly - this appears to be quite likely a plain old incompetence issue at the visa section. There is no way in any world that putting the stamp in the visa should take two...

    New passport after P2 submission while awaiting eCOPR(URGENT ADVICE)

    Yes, still a good idea to submit that by webform, but it probably won't make much difference to the eCOPR form or timing.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Which may show a tiny bit more but not much - all you'd likely learn is that they are not completed and the (quite standard) reasons for exclusion. I still think worthwhile doing - but the warning that if it's a security screening issue (and it seems many/most of the delays beyond ~12 months...

    American moving to Canada Spousal sponsor

    Congratulations. -He can apply 'outland' while in Canada and use the address he has in Canada. -I don't think need to worry about the bank account address corresponding. -Without knowing or going through all the details from before in this thread - it probably would be easier from a few...

    New passport after P2 submission while awaiting eCOPR(URGENT ADVICE)

    No need to worry about this as long as you are in Canada now (i.e. you're not going to cross a border in the interim or have issues with that). No issue at all with the 1-2 weeks before, this is normal stuff. For a 'regular' COPR, the passport info (listed as travel doc) seems to be there...

    Ah, then I gather it's specific to that program - the federal ones are better known, and I don't know the provincial ones. All I can suggest on her problems as described: -I doubt this is so critical that it's going to cause a problem, as long as it's in /some/ order and the form - as entering...

    All I was asking is that you provide the correct number of the form, eg IMMxxxx.

    BC vital statistics birth registration and Name change process

    I don't know the answer to your other questions. For this part, yes - update / obtain passport with new name first, and then correct/change the citizenship certificate afterwards. Some never bother changing the citizenship certificate, because the same combination (old citizenship certificate...
