The main criterion is having enough money in the bank or your spouse having enough income that there's no suspicion that you'll need to work while in the country. It helps a lot to be from a developed country. An alternative is to ask the border official for more than six months when you first...

As far as the Canadian authorities are concerned, she is allowed to carry any amount of cash with her. But if she does carry more than $10,000, it is extremely important to declare it at the border, and she might have questions about it. That being said, I wouldn't recommend having that amount...

I would apply for the GCMS notes to see what the visa officer's concerns were in greater detail.

I don't entirely agree with this statement. The condition is the intention to leave Canada at the end of one's authorized stay, which may include any extensions of the study permit, and becomes indefinite if in fact PR is granted. The intention to also eventually apply for PR does not preclude a...

I'm sorry, but I don't know enough about the skilled worker category to tell you whether it would be advantageous to you to classify yourself as a "software engineer," which is regulated since it contains the word "engineer," or as something else, for example "informaticien" (computer/data...

On an outland application, you can appeal and all the evidence is heard again by an administrative judge. You can present new evidence. On an inland application, you can apply to the Federal Court for judicial review. The decision will be made based only on the information the immigration...

You can apply for a passport in the foreign country you're in. If you want fast service you may have to travel to an embassy or consulate. Look at the embassy's website to get an idea of processing times.

You can use any proof you like that you've travelled together. If the best way to do that is to use the travel history, then you're permitted to do that. Which form are you talking about?

Anyone who uses the word "ingénieur" in their job title must be a member of the Ordre des ingénieurs du Québec. So if that is your job title, then yes, it is a regulated profession, and you won't be able to practice it until you are certified. Software engineer is "ingénieur en logiciels" in...

If the old passport is marked as cancelled, then I think CIC will conclude that it was cancelled at the time the new one was issued. I don't think you need to say anything about it.

Didn't they cancel your old passport when they issued your new one?

If you are from a visa-exempt country, then you can enter with your other passport and any proof of Canadian citizenship (though the last part is probably not strictly necessary). However, apart from Americans and a few other limited exceptions, starting soon visa-exempt nationals will need an...

In addition to the other suggestions, you could also submit both of your travel histories from the CBSA. If they show lots of entries into Canada at the same place and time, the conclusion will be obvious. Regardless, they will show lots of travel between the two countries. That being said, the...

To boil this down for Rihatgiab, if you have been back and forth to Canada, even for short visits, during the last 3 years and 8 months, then that might create enough confusion in your travel history that you're not immediately suspected of having fallen foul of your residency obligation when...

It's "ourdou."

The baby might also have other citizenships, but this would depend on the laws of the parents' countries of citizenship. It is likely that the baby could apply for an emergency passport, but still might not be able to travel at the planned time.

Even when a visitor intends to give birth in Canada, this is not in itself grounds for refusing entry. This is even truer when there is only a small chance that the visitor will actually be giving birth in Canada. The main problem is making sure that she has enough money to pay for a delivery...

I'm not going to keep arguing about this, so I'm afraid we're going to have to agree to disagree. My advice to the OP stands.

Unfortunately, if it is determined that you don't meet the PR residency requirement, you won't be able to become a citizen and you will likely be reported for not meeting the residency obligation, after which you would lose your PR status. In certain unusual cases, there may be humanitarian and...

There are two questions. First is being allowed to board the plane. I don't know what the policies of different airlines are, but 36 weeks (8 months 10 days) seems quite late, especially if that's when they're starting their trip. Air Canada says this: So Air Canada wouldn't allow her on the...
