Hi forum members, I got married just before the pandemic in India (Hindu religious marriage). Both me and my spouse for PRs before marriage. I did not register my marriage in India; I was planning to do so in a subsequent trip but the pandemic came in the way of travel. I have marked myself...

Thank you all for your feedback. Much appreciated :)

When changing tax filing status from single to married; does CRA ask for marriage certificate or take your word for it. As explained in my very first post on this thread, we were both PRs (applied seperately) and then went to India for a traditional hindu marriage. Experienced members point out...

Thanks for the valuable information. Here's a different question. Based on what you said we are legally married, can we get a marriage certificate from our province? Like show pictures of the marriage, etc?

Oh boy the confusion! Anyway we were both PRs before marriage and applied under EE (literally did not know each other at the time). We just had a quick marriage with a hindu priest with our families watching over. Our lives are otherwise based in Canada. I personally did not think this would be...

That is fine. Is the process cumbersome and does anyone else besides the two of need to be involved (like witnesses)?

I recently got married in India (Hindu marriage) and now in Canada (with my wife). Both of us were PRs before marriage. We did not register our marriage in India; we thought it would be easier to do that here (perhaps wrongly). Just wanted to know what needs to be done in Ontario with respect to...

Hi! I got ITA early in the year and became PR in Oct 2019. I did a soft landing in canada and came to india to get married. My husband was/is already a canadian PR. It was a quick marriage and we were never bf/gf or common law. Just spoke on the phone and my application was a single applicant...

I lived in San Francisco. My rent was $ 4K for a crap apartment. Gas prices soaring at 4 bucks a gallon, state taxes the highest, literally the silicon valley salary goes in just surviving, 0 savings. Well said about legal status. It's a pain with work visa and endless backlog in the legal...

Sure. ITA: Jan 10, 2019 AOR: Feb 26, 2019 Biometrics: April 11, 2019 Contacted IRCC around the 6 month mark and only criminality was passed, rest not started. Contacted Ralph Goodale’s office at the 7 month mark and again the same status. PPR: Oct 24, 2019 (around the 8 month mark) I sincerely...

So when I woke up I saw the PPR email. On checking my account it did say that my account is updated with no real update. So maybe I got a GU just before PPR email or at the same time or after. I'm not sure. It did all happen when I was fast asleep.

Wish I knew the answer brother. There is no way to know. Like I mentioned my application status was always eligibility & security not started.

Yes! Thats a GU

Yes. It was always been Ottawa. I found about my VO, 5 months post AOR

Finally got PPR. Dated Oct 24, but received Oct 25 local time. (240 days) AOR: feb 26 VO: Ottawa I did not receive any ghost update during the entire process and whenever I called IRCC they told me that my eligibility and security had not started. It has been a long wait and I realize many are...

Congrats! thanks for the detailed note. Keeps others (including me) hopeful.

I have seen several folks on here who had review required and got PPR. All it means is that officer needs some clarification on certain items in your application. A senior office may be able to clear that and pass your application. On the flip side you could receive an ADR. Folks have used GCMS...

another week goes by... day by day by hope also goes by :(

ditto! i think as others have said, it all depends on when they pick up your file. looks like they dont feel like touching our files.

what was your VO?
