From OP’s original post in the General forum, they don’t have any near future intent to settle in Canada

Depends if your spouse wants to go by “Diaz” or “Diaz Valete” as their surname in Canada all the way up to their Canadian passport and government forms. They can drop the Valete or add it at the end of Juan Pedro.

Fascinating. That website has red flags all over it. I love it. It’s like a treasure hunt. I am torn if I should call it stupid or well made. For starters, does “VISACAD” sound remotely like a legitimate immigration law firm to you?

No. I have relatives who were called to an in-person interview--they were out of Canada for 2 years after their PR landing. Their interview also took 5 minutes. Getting an interview request now may be related to program integrity/random checks if your application is straightforward. You will...

No, your exit is automatically recorded when you leave the U.S. There is no need to do anything. Setting an appointment and paying for the I-94 in the app in advance is a nice-to-have thing for your convenience, but also not mandatory.

^ I went through the Teams interview back when it was mandatory for all applicants, and this is correct. Took no more than 5 minutes.

I have 3 relatives who spent the same couple of years out of Canada. 2 of them got called for an in-person interview...interview and oath (10 months later) went smoothly. One did not. It's most likely by random, or a program integrity check. They'll just check your documents (language test...

References can even be outside of Canada, but they'll need to be available for a phone call during Canadian work hours.

Yeah, my GCKey associated with my EE application has since been revoked as well. You might be able to make a Privacy Act/ATIP request and ask for the documents associated with your PR application. https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/welcome.do Moral of the story, always make copies (soft and/or...

This is fine. I had a gap of several months without a passport while I was waiting for my Canadian citizenship approval because I didn't want to bother renewing my old country's passport. I just explained "did not renew and did not travel" for the gap when I got asked for updated passport scans.

Lol even if you attempt to apply on a new account, they will still trace it to your old account and application. so yes just use the existing account

For the purposes of IRCC, they’re referring to the same thing. Again, you’re taking things way too literally. No need to overthink this.

This is an international forum, so post in English. Also, a new number on a renewed police clearance is not an issue. You are taking "renewal" too literally. You don't keep the same passport number when you renew a passport, do you?

Given your wife's healthcare background and knowledge in French, have you tried computing your points if she were to be the primary applicant? That might be more advantageous. She can take both French and English tests to boost your points for Express Entry. Quebec and other francophone programs...

I don’t even know how any of this is supposed to be English, because I swear none of it is.

Canada is not like the UAE. A tourist visa is highly improbable to be converted to working status.

^ A couple of anecdotes about people I know who managed to find employers willing to sponsor their LMIAs just came down to dumb luck and generosity on the employer's part. The catch is they both came in with some form of work permit to help with the "audition," so to speak. Their backgrounds...

A visa for a winter vacation is never in any definition urgent.
