Please help.

In worst case, put some arbitrary date eg 20 years from now, and attach letter of explanation that document has no expiry date and date entered is only to complete form.

This is really annoying, do I have to enter names in native language?

This form I have to enter only principle applicant’s education info right or do I have to enter everyone's (family, members, sponsor, etc) education history of her family?

PLEASE HELP.

Hi,

I am living abroad with my Canadian wife and planning to move back to Canada in the new year to apply for inland sponsorship.

• Does my wife need to declare at the border she is moving back permanently? I believe she does if she wants to declare the goods she is bringing in? In reality we would only have a couple of large suitcases. If she does need to declare she is moving back permanenty at the border, is it better than if I enter as visitor a few days before her, so the border officer won't know about her plans to move back permanently and won't question me coming along with her/asking for proof of ties to home country to let me in as a visitor?
• Similarly, is it better if I buy return tickets so that the border officer won't get suspicious I am planning to stay quite long and won't ask for proof of ties to home country to let me in as a visitor? Or they don't have access to this info from the airline? Also if I buy one way ticket, any risk the airline would refuse me boarding?

I don't think airlines get into this at all anymore.

Arriving: it makes more sense if she is arriving to say returning. Generally CBSA won't make a big deal of it unless the visitor clearly looks like they are moving forever. If asked, you are helping her settle in, stay will be 'a few or some months' (vague). I would suggest avoiding outright lies - but it's okay to not be certain, eg yes we plan to eventually apply for sponsorship, we know could do inland but not decided, plans to return. Logical reasons not to do like "if I do that I couldn't work while waiting" may be more convincing.

Personally I think CBSA no longer gives a lot of weight to return tickets (because easy to say will buy online later). Only an opinion though, I hven't experienced.

You'll have to decide for yourself whether better to travel separately etc. It might make some difference, but there's relatively little evidence (reports) that CBSA goes out of their way to refuse people at flight arrivals who have valid visitor docs (visa or ETA).

Thanks. I am just worried if they asked me about ties to my home country as I feel I won't have a convincing proof. All I would have is: my parents have a spareroom for me (in Spain) and I have quite a lot of savings (in Norway). Obviously I will have given up my job in my home country (Norway)... not sure what else I can show as proof of ties that would be convincing for the officer in case they ask me

Hi everyone,

We saw on the portal today that IRCC has updated the "Confirmation of Permanent Residency (COPR) details" for my spouse's inland application (online).

Can someone please help us understand what the next steps will be - in terms of receiving a physical COPR document and potentially the PR card? We have neither received an email update nor any COPR letter via mail.

Really appreciate the guidance.

Money remaining in Norway is a start. Again, they don't seem to spend a lot of effort worrying about ETA visitors on arrival at airports. Just answer briefly and relaxed. Tell them you're here to wait out the norwegian winter, that'll get a laugh. Or that you'll go to spain and wait on the beach. Or you have vague plans of some kind or another.

(Illegal immigration from Norway is not a huge issue here)

What about exiting and re-entering during inland application, what should I say at the officer for reason of entry? At that point I can't be vague about the application I guess as they will be able to see that I have been staying in Canada for a long time and probably even see I have applied for spousal sponsorship? Are there reports of officers being tough on proof of ties to my home country? I mean... if I applied for spousal sponsorship, obviously my plan A is to move to Canada, so it is difficult to keep ties for 1+ year in the home country... does the officer consider this fact when dealing with people who applied for spousal sponsorship or are we treated like any other temporary resident?
