    Kinda what I was thinking, why pay all that money and put yourself through all that stress to not live here and then have the PR revoked?

    Inland vs Outland sponsorship length of stay in Canada

    Some info on spending time outside of Canada after you've been granted permanent residency. TLDR permanent residency can be revoked if you don't meet the residency requirement. Time lived in Canada To keep your PR status, you must have been in Canada for at least 730 days during the last five...

    February 2024 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    So dumb question, but is it possible to have your application rejected after you've received P1? Besides not responding to the email obviously. My understanding is IRCC would not send your application to a visa office if they had issues with it.

    Couple of questions re my application

    To the previous comment, since you are British, coming in to Canada as a visitor is very easy; your eTA is valid for up to five years. I don't think Canada is like the EU where you can only stay 3 months out of a 6 month period; so if you went back to Canada as a visitor, the 6 months would...

    Thanks! Judging from other months, it seems the time difference between P1 and P2 is two weeks to a month.

    Couple of questions re my application

    Unfortunately, I can't give much advice on that as I did Inland not Outland; might want to do some digging into that. If I have this right, for Outland when your application is in the final stages of approval they will do a passport request and you will have to go to a visa office within your...

    Couple of questions re my application

    So yes, your SOWP allows you to stay and work in Canada for 2 years, you do not need to leave after 6 months. As for the address change, I'm assuming you applied for Inland sponsorship so they changed it to match your current Canadian address because it's your current location. Nothing to be...

    Passport renewal during processing

    The simple answer to your question, if his PR has not been approved by the time the OWP is close to expiring, your husband just simply renews his passport and applies for a new OWP once he gets his new passport and updates IRCC with the new passport for his PR application. If he has to renew...

    February 2024 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    If I have this right, the processing time they show is what to expect if you apply now. When we applied in February the processing time was 10 months (not really a huge difference). However, processing times vary, some people have gotten it in 5 months others its 2 years. Generally from what I...

    Hi there, My partner has dual British and German citizenship and is trying to renew his British passport. UK passport office has delayed his application because his names do not match (his German passport is hyphened with both his mom's and dad's last name). While we are figuring out what to...

    PR Tracker and GC Key not matching

    So here is a bit of a conundrum, my partner (Family sponsor Inland - February group) was checking his PR Tracker and its marked biometrics, medical exam, and eligibility as completed. However, the tracker hasn't be updated since March 28th with his medical exam. When he looks on his GC Key, it...

    February 2024 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    Best to either extend your work permit or apply for a SOWP. The processing time was 9 - 10 months when we applied in February but individual timelines vary quite a bit. I've seen people get theirs in 4 months while others its more than a year.

    February 2024 Inland Spousal Sponsorship

    I would suggest following up with IRCC about the OWP. We applied February 23rd and received the permit within a month. Not sure about the medical exam as IRCC can be funny these things. I'm still bitter about having to redo biometrics when my current one is still valid.
