I read somewhere where it says , you can’t have ETD and your original country’s passport at the same time . So i’m assuming your wife travelled wth a passport from her birth country , and you applied for an ETD ,assuming you do not use your original country passport ?

Am I correct ?

I don't think you can apply for a ETD when you are a PR. ETD is for Canadian citizens without a passport. For PRs, a PRTD (Permanent Resident Travel Document) is required for travel back to Canada if they do not have a valid PR card.

I think the OP's wife tried applying for a PRTD in order to return to Canada. When you apply for a PRTD, they check if you have fulfilled your residency obligations. If you haven't fulfilled your obligations, they can revoke your PR for non-compliance with residency requirements.

I'm sorry that you are going through this and separated from your wife. I hope this is fixed and you are reunited soon, what a stressful situation!

I checked my status today and it's changed for "decision made". Last time I checked was Dec 11, so it changed between that day and today (Dec 17).

I did the online test on the Dec 6 and I had no interview.
Good luck! You became a Canadian Citizen :)
