You'd have to ask your lawyer to request IRCC to change the phone number. You are right that IRCC communicates almost entirely via email or regular mail, but it is in your best interest that all the info is correct on their side.

Has anybody from December got any news recently? Feels awfully quiet here...

Tax residency is different from actual residency. You're a resident as long as you have a spouse/common law partner in Canada, unless you can prove you are considered a tax resident of another country. If you are doing any Inland sponsorship, then the PA is automatically a tax resident.

Just answer truthfully. Send a new IMM5669 as requested, make EXTRA SURE that you haven't missed anything this time, and write a separate letter apologizing for the mistake and explaining that you thought it was only related to Canadian applications. Ensure you follow the PFL instructions about...

If you are already married, you MUST declare your wife as a non-accompanying spouse to IRCC ASAP. You were supposed to declare her as soon as you got married. If you obtained CoPR while already being married and didn't declared your wife in your application beforehand, you did a...

Same application date and same situation, from what I've seen from October and November applicants, probably medical next week and eligibility in two-three weeks for us.

Did you type the full name of the Sponsor and the PA in the correct field on the last page (under "signatures") before the barcodes? The sponsor's full name should go on the first field and PA on the third field, leave the second field empty (as your spouse is the PA and NOT the co-signer)...

I'd recommend her to not withdraw her current WP application. If she withdraw it, it's be considered never submitted and she'd fall out of status and not have the option to restore her status, forcing her to leave Canada, while if her application get denied she'd only be out of status from the...

If you got AIP, that means they already cleared you about the genuineness of your relationship. Background Check step is about criminality and security checks, not about your relation with your sponsor. Also, Background checks are very long, several months after submitting biometrics. It sucks...

Did you got a MIL or was it upfront medical?

Did you put the number of applicants at 2? This is a common mistake for linking to GCKey. Also, do not use the UCI listed in the AOR as it is the Sponsor's UCI, you need to use the PA UCI instead.

Yes for both of your questions. For anyone interested, please see this link, where the new policy allowing to submit without an AOR is described...

Do not flagpole, OWP for PR sponsorship are not eligible to be delivered at land borders. Many people tried and they all got denied by CBSA as the OWP requires you to be in Canada, which you're technically not when at a border. Also, you're right that you can apply without the AOR if her status...

GCKey can take a few days to update correctly. For PR application, you always need to provide biometrics even if you provided them before for another application, they are always requesting a new set. So honour the BIL and give biometrics. In general, the PR tracker is more accurate than GCKey...

From my experience, having used a specialised pre-arrival service for people in IT fields: They are trash. Not gonna sugarcoat it, they offer almost no real offers, and any offer will always say "We can't begin the process before you've landed in Canada". They give very very basic advices for...

The letter is self-explanatory, you need to resubmit your application with the country-specific documents, in your case AT LEAST with the IMM 5546 filled. Beware that there may be more documents required, please visit the link provided to check what you need to submit.

You can get MSP even without the OWP, as long as you paid all the PR sponsorship fees upfront - BC consider that the day you paid the fees is the day you became a BC resident. See this page...

Did you had done a medical exam in the past? Or did you got the medical request this month? And if yes when?

There is no minimum, but the sponsor is supposed to have enough to cater for the PA while the sponsorship is underway, and also have enough to repay Canada is the PA get social benefits (that doesn't include EI or healthcare) during the duration of the undertaking. With only 20K CAD a year...

It seems that IRCC stopped giving any medical request for a couple months already, if various trackers are to be believed. Only people who already had a medical exam for a previous application already on file got their medical passed, everyone else is waiting. It is unclear why this is...
