You don't need a letter from the embassy, but you do need a letter from yourself clarifying the time gap in between passports.

Was your PR application inland or outland? If it was outland, then they should process your SIN application using the visa stamped in your passport + COPR — at least this is how it used to be back when I did it. I applied for my SIN the day of my landing. Only one or the other didn't suffice...

Don't feel discouraged. I had Decision Made for months before they sent me the oath invitation. Don't worry.

That's not true at all — there's no certainty yet of the timeline. Hopefully shinigami6231 will receive an oath invitation sooner rather than later, but at the same time it could be weeks or even months (like in my case, and so many others in this forum) until the oath line is displayed.

There might be added an extra line when they have scheduled you for oath. From September 2015 until January 2016 I had "Decision Made" without the 6th line, only the notice for test.

The baby will be Canadian if born in Canada because Canada does grant nationality based on jus soli even if none of the parents are Canadian, as long as the parents aren't foreign diplomatic staff (which doesn't seem to be the case). Your marital status is irrelevant for the child's citizenship...

From what I understood from your question, you're in the wrong section of the forum. For family sponsorship: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/

"Losing your permanent resident status Losing your permanent resident status does not happen automatically. You cannot lose your permanent resident status simply by living outside of Canada long enough that you don’t meet the residency requirement. Unless you have gone through an official...

Regular processing is taking that long however, urgent processing takes a much shorter period of time for people with no residency issues or doubts. I applied for mine last year (while I was in the process of applying for citizenship), and it took 2 weeks for renewal, between them receiving the...

Travelling as a Brazilian citizen with a 10-year B1/B2 and many US stamps: fingerprinted every time as required, but often no more than one or two questions asked. Travelling as a Canadian citizen with a brand new passport (thus no stamps) and a name that is completely different from the name...

Ari is right: I left Canada literary the day after I got my passport. And then I came back a week later, because I'm a Canadian academic, with responsibilities in the country. :P

The reason of the travel doesn't make any difference.

Do as the instruction guide says: if your passport(s) don't cover the period required (mine didn't), include a letter clarifying this.

You overpaid.

The child is a Canadian citizen; the father, however, does not became a citizen by reason of having a Canadian child. Hard to say. Unless he's reported, nothing might happen. But staying in the country without status opens up for these kinds of possibilities.

Did you apply for regular processing? Mine was pretty fast, I submitted the application on Feb 3rd (express pick-up) and it was ready the next day, but I only picked it up on Feb. 5th.

Except that you landed on a visa granted through a spousal sponsorship application when you were already separated from your sponsor, and went to land and live with friends in another province from the get-go. And then got welfare for years, which your ex-wife will have to pay for. It's not...

I just checked and it's fine now.

Omission of place of birth: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/apply/omit-place-birth.asp

OP can omit this information in the Canadian passport, but border officials in other countries will probably scrutinize OP's trips for the omission. I personally wouldn't omit this info, but it's up to OP to make the call.
