I think these sections and numbers are completely wrong, do check.
Here is the letter I got, it shows these sections and subsections. As I understand, it's a long way of saying that they want more proof that I will be moving back to Canada. Does it give you any more insight on if it's a big problem?

Ah, now I understand the numbers.

I don't know if this is meaningfully different from procedural fairness letter (at least from perspective they could refuse if not satisfied). I could attempt to read between tealeaves of the few of these I've heard/seen cited, but I suspect could just be small differences in which version of form letter used.

So one point - note that there is a different font used to type the year since which you've been living outside Canada.

To me that says: this is a form letter in which very little has been personalized, possibly some standard procedure.

Also: address specifically the length of time you have been abroad and why returning now. Ideally with documents/evidence, or at least in letter/narrative, since that is the only thing they seem to have personalized.

Hi guys, I just applied for spouse sponsorship for inland spouse who is currently on visitor visa in Canada. Can we visit another country for couple weeks while the application is in process?
Any impact on the processing or SOWP filed along with the application?

No updates after that. I feel little impatient now.
Any Opinions how much time it took from here would be appreciated.

try the following as well:
  • evidence of asset transfer to canada to prepare for your return
  • school arrangement for your kids (if you have any)
  • bank documentation showing accounts opened in Canada or closed in your current residence
  • receipts for sale of personal effects abroad, such as a vehicle, or furniture

Hello,

I had a question about my name, My legal name has an apostrophe in it, eg D'souza, but on my Indian passport, the apostrophe is replaced with a space, as the Indian passports do not accept apostrophes, as such when I fill up forms, and they ask for my name, do I include my legal name or the name on my passport, even though it isn't actually correct?

Cheers!

thanks for your response, I just got off a call with IRCC and explained my situation, they mentioned that I can write a letter of explanation stating that India doesn't allow for apostrophes in your name (which is true, cause boy did I try to get it included) and as such the name spelt on my passport doesn't really match (even though its a minor detail) my legal name. I think I could also ask them to consult my birth certificate and PCC for my correct name. Plus all the id I have received in Canada have my correct name on it, so they can refer that, should they require proof.

I believe the international standards for passports (ICAO) do not allow apostrophes so it is not specific to India. This is not uncommon worldwide so you should not have any big troubles. A short letter of explanation will be fine.

Hello guys, I have a question about the situation after landing. I would like to ask you whether it is possible to land Canada after getting visa and COPR and then leave canada after some days before getting the PR card.
And can I give my friend address in Canada to send for him my PR card and then he mails me the card while I am outside of Canada?
Also if my visa expires and I do not land, is it possible to enter Canada after some months with PRTD?

Thank you for your replies in advance.

How important is it to add a spouse's name on the passport for a PR spousal sponsorship(Outland-India) application?

I am in a dilemma because adding a spouse's name will lead to the reissue of passport which is time-consuming and I will also have to reapply for a new PCC after getting a new passport number. Also, my General IELTS Exam Score will become null and void after the new passport issue On the other hand, my lawyer is saying that it's better if I could update it because it's important relationship proof.

Please advise.
Thanks!
