What’s the nationality of the applicant?

Yes, the visa was issued approximately a year after applying with no explanation

SO applied for a tourist visa which after ordering gcms looks like it's stuck in background verification for months. Seems they were unlucky enough to get the enhanced screening which I've read could take a year or more. Is there anything we can do at this point? Would applying for a new tourist...

Got it, so for the citizenship tax returns requirement, I believe the wording is "Must have filed personal income taxes for at least 3 years within the 5 year period, if required under the Income Tax Act." so seems like if I can prove I have the physical presence but was never required to file...

Thanks @Ponga and @scylla ! One further question- would I be liable to file Canadian income taxes if I go this route? My assumption is no because I do not live in Canada and do not earn money from Canada, but would I have to maintain a "de jure" resident status (and therefore file taxes) in...

I am a US Citizen and Canadian PR (FSW). I got a job offer in the US but still want to maintain my Canadian PR. Is it possible to fly to Canada during the weekends (Fri-Mon) and have that count towards my residency requirement? If so, would I need to maintain a residence in Canada, or could I...

Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, there wouldn't be problems with the border officer if her tourist visa was approved under the premise that she was a unmarried tourist, while she is now married and entering to be sponsored?

I am a PR and want to get my girlfriend into Canada to sponsor her for PR inland. She has applied for a tourist visa with status as Single (unmarried). Is the safest route for her to enter Canada on the tourist visa and we get married in Canada? Or is getting married before she comes a better idea?

Hello, looking for recent experiences of people who applied for a SIN online with an international address. Will Canada mail the SIN paper abroad?

Looking for some anecdotal feedback on how long it took for you to apply for your SIN in-person at Service Canada. How long was the wait time, and how long did it take for the actual processing?

If I sponsor a spouse inland who is in Canada on a tourist visa, will they become eligible for healthcare? If not, would they become eligible if they get the OWP?

I I sure could, but why would I do that if there was a more convenient option available inside the airport? Hence my question.

Has anyone been to Pearson Airport lately and know if the Service Canada desk is open or not? Doing a search on the forums show it closed for Covid, but no updates since a year ago. It's not showing on the Services Canada locator either: Service Canada Locations Ontario Looking to apply for a...

Thanks @legalfalcon. So would you advise just to keep waiting? Is >1 month normal for PPR to COPR? I ordered GCMS notes anyways in the hopes of knowing whether they have mailed out the COPR or not.

@legalfalcon My PR shows approved on April 28th but I still haven't received COPR. No response to multiple webforms sent to HKVO or Ottawa. Any suggestions at this point? Would a GCMS notes help? FSW-O Application Approved April 28th VO- Hong Kong COR- China From Visa-exempt country (no...

Let me know when you get COPR, It's been over a month since approval and two webforms, no response from HKVO.

I believe you can, it's called a soft landing. How long did your COPR take after PPR?

Yes, I got my remedical first and then PPR.

Has anyone who gotten PPR in April/May received their paper COPR yet? How long did it take?

Isn't eCOPR for inlanders only?
