Thanks for your answer! do you know what the threshold age is?

I'm about to undergo a medical exam for spousal PR and I wanted to hear others' experiences about how common is it that they require x-rays and other special tests. Is that something they do for everyone or only in certain cases (maybe older people or with pre-existing conditions)? For context...

How long does it take for my passport to be stamped these days? I'm moving out of my current place (so mailing address will change) + I'll travel to the new place (need passport for that) in ~40 days. I'm in US sending the passport to New York. I really can't afford not getting the passport in...

I see, so do you recommend waiting to get out of Canada to apply or apply within Canada now but say my residence is out of Canada?

2. I don't have a specific date for re-entry, but if I get out of Canada after January (which is likely due to some professional circumstances) I will want to be able to come back at an arbitrary point after I finish responsibilities abroad. I don't have the dates, but I want to have the visa...

I am currently living in Canada on a multiple-entry visitor visa (TRV), which is about to expire in a couple of months. I would like to renew the visa, and not merely extend it, so that I can exit and re-enter (I am married to a Canadian so I should be exempt from COVID restrictions on...

I'm just visiting for a couple of months. I will go back to US afterwards to finish school, though I still don't have an address (I plan to rent). I guess I should stick with my home country address then

I'll be in Canada for a couple of months when I'm applying, but I feel I shouldn't put that as a residence, cause it's temporary and I'm doing outland. Or should I?

Yes, we are married. I am resident only in my home country ( student visa in the US), so I believe I can only go there for an interview, as I'll be doing outland.

I was reading a thread about submitting material to prove the relationship is genuine and some of the more credible things include joint bank statements, bills, proof of common address etc. I and my partner don't have such proof as we are both self-sufficient students in different countries (the...

I haven't been able to find an answer for this anywhere, so I hope someone here can help me. If I am on a visitor visa in Canada am I allowed to be a REMOTE graduate research assistant ( and a student taking classes) for my US University? I get paid for it in a US bank and the work has...

Thank you both for the reply! I posted on the foreigner work forum just now, as it might be more appropriate, but would like to wrap up the discussion here as well. To respond to some of the comments, or give more context, note the following: Additional info: - My home country, which is in...

I posted this question on the family sponsorship subforum but realized it might be more appropriate here, so sorry if you're seeing this for the second time. I just figured Open Work Permit is only for inland spousal sponsorship (I'm very new to this) and I must do outland because I cannot...

I just figured OWP is only for inland spousal sponsorship (I'm very new to this) and I must do outland because I cannot commit to being physically present in Canada during the application (while I will likely be, it is uncertain, so I cannot risk with inland). However, I would still want some...

Thanks to everyone who replied, it was really helpful. I realized I've been very confused about a lot of the terms used (i.e. the website doesn't mention the words "inland", "outland" anywhere and I didn't know OPW is only for inland), but now I think I understand now. I will have to apply...

Thanks! Some follow-ups: 1. I actually won't necessarily be in Canada at the time. My understanding from the link above was that I need to have a valid visitor or worker visa regardless of whether I am in Canada or not. If I am out of Canada and do not need to re-enter until the work permit is...

I intend to apply for spousal sponsored PR and later for an Open Work Permit. In this article, it says that: "Remember that while your spouse or partner’s permanent residence application is being processed, they must maintain legal status as a visitor, student or worker in Canada". I intend to...

As the title suggests, would it be an issue if I enter Canada as a visitor and study remotely in a US university, i.e. would they allow me to enter if I disclose that at the border? Additional info: I'm on F-1 visa in the US and I was impacted by the most recent order from ICE banning me from...
