It matters a great deal. If it's at the end, you are certain not to meet the requirement. If it happens in the middle, then gaps which are 'temporary and short' are permissible. As I said, the judgement of that depends on the officer, and 3 weeks would always be pushing it.

It sounds like you have not at any point lived together for 365 consecutive days. If that is true, you cannot apply as common law partners. If you had a three week gap in the middle, you might be ok (that long would depend on officer), but it being at the end simply means you've never...

But you could in the four weeks between certificate being issued & leaving, so you'll need a new one I'm afraid. Certificates are normally valid for 6 months, or indefinitely if they were issued after the last time you were in that country.

The sponsor is not an "accompanying family member". They are already Canadian (citizen or PR) and do not need to include the passport-style photos.

That is so funny, you saying on a forum, that forums can't be trusted.... so giving advice that can lead to people getting deported. On the bright side, you're telling them you can't be trusted with that :) @OP: Note that an IEC cannot be extended or renewed, so rules that exist for other...

And you can't reapply for an IEC permit.

I'm amused that you're claiming to think a direct request is a good idea when I've linked you to someone who made a direct request.

Really not. Spousal permits can be extended. IEC permits cannot be. Because of this, when applying to extend a spousal permit (which can be extended), the assumption is this will be approved. Applying to extend an IEC permit, there's no reason to assume that because it cannot happen. So there's...

You have nothing from IRCC or in legislation that states an IEC can be extended, so the fact there's a great deal to help people not get deported is rather good... (You have linked above to things which say some permits can be extended. It does NOT say an IEC can be, and the wording explicitly...

http://britishexpats.com/forum/immigration-citizenship-canada-33/implied-status-iec-815262/ is the explanation that's normally hawked around. Along with an early episode of Canada Border patrol on youtube where a guy was deported for illegally working on an expired IEC because while he waited...

They're changing from an IEC permit to a spousal OWP. The IEC conditions include not being able to work past a set date. It's not logically possible to continue working under the same conditions when one of those conditions is that they stop working. Once the spousal permit arrives, they can...

Definitely not. You only have implied status as a visitor from an IEC permit after filing a new application. If you work before your OWP arrives, you are working illegally (without a work permit or SIN), and are risking your PR application, and potentially being deported.

Mostly due to things you didn't need to include Husband? Father? Son? Nephew? Not possible. The sponsor may have been approved, but not a whole application in only weeks. In addition, your friend would have to have filled in forms of his own He doesn't need to do this as part of any family...

If the marriage is legal both where it took place, and in Canada, it is valid for CIC's purposes. So for example, if a 20 year old and a 13 year old got legally married in another country, CIC would not recognise it, because that marriage couldn't happen in Canada. If a man legally married 3...

The site was updated to make it more user-friendly a few weeks ago. The fields just have better explanations now, it doesn't mean anything for your specific app.

Because you must have 730 days in every five year period in order to maintain your PR status. Ignore the card, it's irrelevant. You can be a PR without a card (you don't need to get one), and you can have a card without being a PR (if you lose status while a card is valid). A PR card is...

This is the joy of being a legal adult. Your parents have no say. If you are under 18, there may be complications, particularly if you are under 16 (if the marriage was in a country where marriage is possible at such an age, but requires parental consent).

At this point, you must stay in Canada for the next 730 days, with no gaps, in order to maintain your PR status You can enter, but you will likely be reported for failing to meet the residency obligation, and begin a process which culminates in you losing your PR status. At the time of...

We know nothing about that. Nor does IRCC. Applying as a conjugal couple, it won't be surprising that nobody from your conservative family in the middle east is prepared to write gushing letters of praise on your relationship. With one of you being a Canadian resident, it will be surprising...

You may have a genuine problem convincing them - the fact that we're only in March, and you don't intend to move until December is a big problem. CIC want people to move very quickly after being granted permission, and in some cases have refused to continue processing until a person submits...
