It is possible. I know one person who got their passport two business days after the oath. It took one day for his status to get updated in the system. He then went right to a passport office that morning and requested urgent processing and paid all the extra fees for it. He got a call the next...

Yes they do. Hence you should go to a professional place that explicitly advertises PR photos.

To avoid double taxation, you have two options: -Claim the FEIE (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion). This allows you exclude foreign earned income from US taxes, up to a certain amount (~100K USD). -Use FTC (Foreign Tax Credit). As you mentioned, you can get a credit for every tax dollar you paid...

It *may* make IRCC scrutinize the family's RO a bit more since he was out of the country for so long. But if the rest of the family has pretty strong residency proof, then it shouldn't make too much of a difference.

Wasn't there some Saudi woman last year who barricaded herself in her room in Thailand trying to avoid going back to KSA and ended up getting being granted asylum in Canada?

Likely a work visa sponsored by her employer (who was producing the show she was on). I assume that visa is gone now.

Isn't there some "investor" visa that can lead to a PR? All you have to do is spend x amount of dollars to start some business and hire y number of people? He has the money for sure. If not, I'm sure his dad and grandma would help him out.

If you and your husband are both South Asian descent, the court wedding is also a red flag. Understandable since the parents do not approve, but still another red flag. As armoured already detailed, you must provide very strong relationship proof to overcome the flags.

Doesn't CBSA have a fair bit of discretion in these scenarios? If so, then it is not fair to say that the officer was not doing his/her job. Perhaps you do not agree with the officer's judgment call here but you can't say that he/she neglected his/her job.

Agreed, do not wait to report the doctor. Not only will it make the complaint more credible, but you can also spare someone else from potential abuse.

No that is too confusing. It needs to be consistent. I don't know what the best method is but whatever is decided, they should try to be consistent with it.

It is clear that you and your husband did not rush, and carefully thought this through. Another reason why I think you have a strong case.

The biggest wait is typically after AOR. Yes, now the long wait begins. But so far your application looks strong so just be patient and I'm sure it will turn out good!

9 year age gap in cases where the male is older than the female is not an issue. A red flag would be more like 20+ year age gap. Now... if the female is 9 years older than the male, then it can be a minor red flag depending on SA's home country. If both of you are freely communicating to each...

Based on the information you provided, it sounds like a "simple" case to me. A "complex" case would be one involving several "red flags" and so far you have none (based on what you have described)

yeah, this is pretty serious here.

Here is a picture of my wife's. https://www.flickr.com/photos/186349129@N08/49316100021/in/dateposted-public/ Note the first line. Also note that in other places, "Canadian citizen" is also used instead. I am not disputing your claims regarding the proper definition of "Canadian". I am just...

Indeed. Context matters. But because of inconsistent usage of the term, without proper context, it is no wonder that this is so confusing. I think I mentioned in another thread that when my wife got her citizenship, the first line in her congrats letter from the Minister of IRCC (Hon. Ahmed...

The issue is convincing CBSA. If you can do that and they let you in without reporting you, then you passed a big hurdle
