    Spelling mistake in the citizenship application

    I don't think the application can be changed after it has been signed. I'd recommend you reach out to IRCC via webform, or try giving them a call about what to do. If this doesn't get anywhere, from memory I believe the payment receipt is not tied to any specific application. In theory, you...

    First PR Card mailed out but no GU2

    If you are required to pick up your card in person, you have two options: 1) Apply for a PRTD. You've already been told in another thread that this is basically a formality as you are by definition in compliance with the residency obligation. 2) If you have a visa for the US, you can travel...

    Proof of residency Documents - Queries

    If you meet the RO, you need two documents. That’s it. So for example two NOAs. Or one pay slip and one bank statement. Or any other combination.

    Not when you start it, when you submit it.

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    Nothing to worry about. The one thing to be mindful of is what I pointed out above (i.e., don't list H&C reasons because you won't need to rely on them). Otherwise, just be truthful and accurate in all the information you provide and there shouldn't be any issues at all.

    190 days short for RO 730 days

    If you have lived in Canada for more than 730 days in the five years prior to your application date, there is no need to use a lawyer to submit your application. Just make sure you treat your application like a normal renewal application. Specifically (relying on my memory here), there is a...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    This looks like a situation where a consultation with a reputable immigration lawyer is warranted.

    PR Card renewal- H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    Yes, of course she can apply on H&C grounds. The visa officer has to take anything into consideration. But be aware this is risky. If they don't deem the reasons sufficient, they will likely start the process of revoking her PR. As others have said, the best approach is to remain in Canada...

    Renew PR Card with Less Than 2 Years Residency

    Are you currently in Canada? You can only apply for PR card renewal from inside Canada. As mentioned above, if you are in Canada, wait until you have at least two years of presence in the country in the five years before you apply for PR card renewal. Leaving Canada during this time is not...

    question regarding residency obligations

    If you leave it until the last minute to return, you'll have no buffer to travel outside of Canada if you have to (work trips, family emergency back home, etc.), without violating your residency obligation. If possible, return as soon as possible.

    Renewing or applying for spousal sponsorship by canadian citizen after an Expired PR and unmet res obligations

    No, it doesn't. Your sponsorship application is assessed based on meeting eligibility requirements in place at the time that you apply.

    Renewing or applying for spousal sponsorship by canadian citizen after an Expired PR and unmet res obligations

    Your PR is not expired, which is why you cannot re-apply for PR until it gets revoked or you renounce it. If you apply for PRTD with H&C reasons, processing time can be very lengthy, so if you intend to return to Canada soon, this may not be the best way. You could try entering via a US land...

    Based on the dates given above, your mother will no longer be able to meet her residency obligation after 27 November 2025 (assuming she did not leave Canada during her first stay, i.e. between her landing date and 27 November 2022).
