    Permanent resident travel document troubles

    I did miss that entirely, thank you!!! This squares with the earlier reply that the challenge might better be viewed as proving you haven't been outside Canada over 3 years' time.

    Permanent resident travel document troubles

    Maybe not. I had no luck finding relevant info on gov or any other sites. The only guidance I could find was for renewal. The travel document application only counts post-PR time in Canada. This makes it look like a new PR (under 2 years) is automatically unqualified to re-enter Canada. The...

    Permanent resident travel document troubles

    That's a great reply, thanks! The clock for absence from Canada starts when PR is granted, right?

    Permanent resident travel document troubles

    Thanks for the reassurance! I can only find information for PR renewals and replacements. There's practically nothing for new recipients. I really appreciate your answering! I'm not sure it's legal to send the PR card by courier. Doesn't matter for us, because we still haven't received it yet.

    Permanent resident travel document troubles

    My wife has been PR since August, but went abroad for family reasons about 3 months later. Now she's in Korea without a PR card, and applying for a travel document so she can return. Section 14 asks for activities from the past 5 years. It also says if PR less than 5 years only list...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I don't think anybody will experience faster than normal processing during COVID. Once you reach 100% "progress" you can reach out to them. Even the phone works. We only spent ~40 mins on hold.

    Hi everybody, Is there any way to predict the timeline after AiP in this age of Corona? Many thanks

    Spousal sponsorship

    It means that 12 months have past. It's only tied to average time, not your actual case progress :( (I'm 100% too)

    Spousal sponsorship

    My spousal PR application has taken a long time. My husband received sponsorship approval letter so I was hopeful to see it complete by this Spring, but then Corona came. Late in the Summer my work permit will expire, and I'm worried CIC is too slow to complete my case before then. I really...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I didn't know it's possible to contact CIC directly. I did ask my MP's office if they can help, but they talked like CIC doesn't answer questions. I sent in the web form about our baby, maybe that will help them find my case

    Spousal sponsorship

    I don't know why it takes so long because they provide no information. If they aren't requesting something, there is no communication. After the progress bar hits 100% (12 months) there are literally no updates on the site. Since the last change on the site they wrote to my husband he's...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Sorry about the incomplete info. The child isn't needed in the application (at least I don't think the baby has any bearing on it), I just want to make sure all our info is accurate and up to date. I guess I should do another web form with the little one's passport and birth certificate just...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Thanks for replying! Would you mind being more specific? Going over the forms, imm5406e was the only one I could find that has any space requiring your offspring be entered. Are there other forms that need updating? Looking at my post I see I failed to mention that we're all 3 living in...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Hi there, Since my application we had a baby. I realized that the imm5406e is now obsolete, so my husband and I filled them out again including junior. We submitted the new files via Web Form last week, and CIC just emailed with confirmation of receipt. They also included some very general...
