Not really, this means that even if you have the original PCC given by the FGR, if the applicant currently does not live in Mexico, they will not accept it. This is purely anecdotal, as it's not officially encouraged by IRCC. Again, it's at the Officer's discretion to accept the PCC (obtained...

Just so everyone is up to date, IRCC announced that before the end of this year, ALL permanent residence applications will be online: Transitioning to online applications for permanent residence

1. I don't think there are exceptions to this. 2.1. It seems to me that you can apply for the visitor extension without the AOR, maybe you'd like to attach other form of proof that you applied online (like a screenshot of the web portal?) and attach a letter or explanation saying that you have...

Hi @mapple007! I don't know if you already sorted this out, but for the benefit of anyone who has the same questions as you posted, I'm going to answer them : 1. In Mexico, all the birth certificates we are given (what we Mexicans call "originals") are in fact government-certified copies. In...

I believe that direct communication with your case officer is virtually non-existent. I wish this wasn’t true. I encourage you to consult with a immigration lawyer to double check you won’t compromise your PR application with the work plans you laid out. I don’t recall where I saw it but I’ve...

Ok @Maradice and @lakshmi06, so we have to remember that there are two different sets of instructions to get the PCC depending on wether you live in Mexico or not. As a reminder, here are the official instructions: Mexico PCC Now @lakshmi06, IRCC is well known to give their officers some...

Did you submit your PCC online or by mail?

From what I’ve heard from a friend and a consultant, if you have a current work permit (or any other status) independent from the spousal application, you’re free to come and go from Canada while your application is in progress. I was also told by yet another immigration lawyer that getting a...

1. I’m assuming that you currently a PGWP and these are not renewable:https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=676&top=29#:~:text=No.,at%20a%20designated%20learning%20institution. 2. If you read carefully, in the link you shared it is not mentioned anywhere anything about a “work...

Well, as it was mentioned by someone here before, "Having such a small wedding with your spouse being out of status... doesn't look great" --- this is true, and this means that both facts COULD be seen as suspicious and therefore are linked.

A spelling error? May I know where was the spelling mistake?

Also, I believe only Canadian translators are considered certified by IRCC.

I used a mix of both a certified translator here en Canada and a notary public who speaks my native language this time. But when I applied for express entry I only used a certified translator. In theory you could have anyone translate and then sign a sworn affidavit saying they know the language...

The question is, how did you get an open work permit in the first place? These are not common, so depending on what you have, you'll know if you can extend it or not.

It is always a good idea to apply for a visitor record (extension as a visitor) even if you already applied for PR. Do it as soon as you can so you have maintained/implied status while you keep waiting for the AOR. Also, if for some reason you get your PR application returned and you entered...

And by the way, if your immigration agent is telling you that they don't know what's going on, I would be concerned. This is basic information that most IRCC-certified consultants know. Remember to check here who is authorized to give immigration advice and to represent you...

The answer you're looking for is included in any application guide on IRCC's website. Read the guide fully. For your benefit, I've already looked up the info for you: Who should I include on my permanent residence application? In summary, Canada may request medical and background check from all...

Still, I invite you to think as an officer and have a critical mind. As someone said above, any officer would immediately be suspicious that your spouse has been out of status for so long (even if neither of you was aware of this) and the small court wedding. Don't rely only on messages and...

You're lucky that I just happened to be finished dealing with translations today. You would be surprised how confusing this topic is because IRCC doesn't exactly tell you what copy needs to be certified. And the worse part is that many translators and notaries have no clue as to what to do. It...

I've been told that checking the Yes box in this section does not hurt your application. This sounds just like a formality for statistics purposes. No big deal.
