Info is accurate. I do not see any reason to apply for proof of citizenship. Just wondering why they even suggest people go through that process. Now just wondering about sponsor eligibility being that he already was a "sponsor" (for his spouse) in the previous 3 years. I have not looked at...

Appreciate all the feedback on this. One final question; CIC website states the following; If you are a Canadian citizen who is sponsoring a spouse or partner, and you have a child together, your child may be a Canadian citizen. A Canadian citizen is not eligible to be sponsored. The official...

Well I think then we have a unanimous verdict. Child needs to be sponsored again.

Essentially the same situation that is happening now for this newborn child, happened to the father (Steve) as well. The CDN dad (Steve) was also born outside Canada in the USA. Steve became CDN because his father was born in Canada even though Steve was born in the USA. Now Steve essentially...

Here's the story; A Canadian married an a girl from the USA. He sponsored her and brought her to live with him in Canada. She became pregnant. She received her COPR and landed here in Canada. Her mother is terminally ill and so she returned to the USA to visit her. Had to stay longer than she...

Yes, it does seem like a pretty low threshold.

For an R186(l) exemption, do they issue the work permit at the border with proper documentation? Perhaps he was trying to get a work permit at the border? I will inquire further but what does one typically need to show to obtain an R186(l) exemption besides (i) the genuineness of the offer of...

So if one plans to land and then return to the USA to finish school, since they are not sure whether they will meet the residency requirement at the end of 5 years, is it best to wait until closest date to COPR expiration to land?

A family friend was refused entry at the Canadian land border crossing. He told me he has a work permit as a clergy person along with the letter of employment. When trying to enter into Canada on a recent visit from the USA, he was denied entry and told he has to a) show proof that he is a...

Does the 5 year period for a PR begin on the date of landing in Canada? Or does it start from the date the COPR is issued?

Is there any harm in letting application play out and then having it rejected? How would one even request to put an application on hold?

She did list her son as a non-accompanying back then so that should not be an issue. She has legal divorce papers here in Ontario (not sure how she obtained those) but ex-husband back in Philippines is saying he will only agree to sign if she sponsors him as well. I do not think he realizes...

Just to clarify here, The mother is already a permanent resident. She applied a few years back. She has been working in Canada for the last 4-5 years, originally through the LIC program. She did not sponsor her son back then because she was told she could not. As an update to this story...

So how does changing application to non-accompanying help? They would presumably not grant the child PR status until mother gets full custody or father signs paperwork.

Woman here who came from the Philippines 5 years ago. She has been working here for the last 5 years, sending money back home every week to support her mother and her 13 year old son. Her husband ran off with another woman soon after she arrived in Canada. She has not heard from him in 3 years...

Came across this unfortunate situation today... Spousal sponsorship from inside of Canada. They applied Christmas 2015. Wife is Canadian and husband is Sri Lankan. They have one child. Wife was diagnosed with terminal cancer recently and doctors give her less than 5% chance of survival past 6...

How would that scenario work?? As a sponsor for my 18 year old, I would have to prove that I intend to move to Canada as well. Also, is it not true that once your child reaches the age of 18 Are they no longer considered "dependant" and can no longer be sponsored?

Although they say it takes about 3 months to process, it typically takes around 4-5 months until you actually receive the certificate. You should apply to FBI well before you plan to apply for PR so you can include it with your original application. You can still submit the clearance certificate...

This is not for me by any means. An old friend of mine from the USA called me as he watched the electoral map turn red last night and asked me all these questions as we discussed the citizenship and sponsorship rules and theorized about why the Canadian government set them up this way. The...

So for argument's sake, let's suppose they apply outland for sponsorship of wife and children (or even just children). They submit proof that they will return to live in Canada with school acceptance letters (children were born after 2009 so presumably (ya never know!) they won't have job offers...
