That's what I thought. When I applied, I did not plan to leave anytime soon, but things happened then my lawyer mentioned that it is fine as long as I prove intent to come back. And he gave example of a client who filed to sponsor his spouse while he was not in Canada (filed from abroad then...

I posted this in the wrong board, so I am reposting here looking for answers: I applied to sponsor my child last year right after my successful appeal. While the application was processing, I had to travel to take care of a terminally-ill family member. The application should be processing for...

a few months. As I said in my post, I had a successful appeal and they accepted my H&C reasons for falling short on my RO. Since then, I started accumulating physical presence days to make up for the shortage. But unfortunately, I had to leave before reaching 2 years of physical days. Now I am...

Still a PR, with a citizenship application in process.

I applied to sponsor my child last year right after my successful appeal. While the application was processing, I had to travel to take care of a terminally-ill family member. The application should be processing for another year and with my history with the IRCC (everything takes an extra long...

I wont deny that it is. But according to the agent (when I inquired about the delay in 2015 when I took the test), She said there was a delay from 2011 until 2014 because of one of the signatures looked strange and needed to be verified. So I wont blame it all on my complicated case. Others have...

Thanks again for your input. What do you mean "Unless IRCC have you flagged otherwise"? flagged for what reason? could you give examples? (illegal stuff, warrants, immigration issues, etc)

Thank you. I just wrote to my MP as well. According to the last ATIP report, the application finished processing documents and it is in the clearances stage. Hopefully the MP can nudge things to move forward.

I appreciate the lengthy reply, but I need to correct/clarify some points: I was not issued a removal order, nor did I stay abroad when my appeal was pending. I only left a few months ago, weeks after the hearing was over and right now, I am only a couple of months short of my RO. As I stated...

Residence Obligation, to be in Canada 2 out of 5 years. H&C= Humanitarian and Compassionate reasons.

I fell short on my RO. But the decision was in my favor and they accepted my H&C reasons.

Apparently, I am the only one. I feel so special. No, I did not consider withdrawing, why would I? I consulted a lawyer once and he advised to wait. Maybe I shouldn't have? not sure. Thanks for the good vibes, I need all the vibes I can get.

I'm just curious to see if I'm the only one. What went wrong with your application? Here is my timeline Applied Feb 2011 RQ Nov 2011 Test Jan 2015 (passed) RQ2 April 2015 On hold briefly from Jan to Jun 2017 (due to appeal hearing) Resumed and still processing..

What about the risk of being reported? do you think it is that low? Also, I will be questioned by the agent at the border as well as the IRCC office where I am collecting my card and both have the authority to report me (if I understand correctly). Are the chances that low if I have my...

I have my PR since 2008. I applied for citizenship in 2011 and it is still processing. I had to leave Canada and I was reported in 2014. I had my appeal hearing in June 2017 and it was in my favor and I kept my status. I applied for a new 5-year card and I received an invite to collect it I am...

So if the child gets a PR can she apply for citizenship or must she have a canadian parent? If both parents are still PR will her application get refused ? Also, is there a number of years required as a pr before applying for citizenship for minors?

My daughter was born outside Canada while our citizenship application was (and still is) processing. So she has a pr and we cannot pass the citizenship to her when we get ours (I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but fingers crossed) So we plan to apply for citizenship on her behalf. Does a...

Congrats! What was the reason for the RQ and referral to a citizenship judge? Did you apply with less days? It is very nice to see that there is still hope. I applied 60 months ago and still waiting...

I know I should relax, but easier said than done. We did apply with less than the required days though. So we were told by Call Center agents (not by officers) that we might get referred due to the lack of days. I am two months short and self declared. My Spouse applied the day after he had...

That is very helpful! thanks! If you don't mind, how early on was that note entered? was it at the very end (more currant date) or towards the middle/beginning (old date)? I requested an ATIP report back in 2014 and there was no mention of a hearing. I requested another one again last week and...
