If they can apply for citizenship without meeting the residency requirement, once they receive their citizenship certificate (after 6-8 months) they can technically just pick up and leave. Why would they need to keep their PR status valid if they receive citizenship?

So they can't apply for citizenship directly once they are living in Canada? Also, once they get PR, this would mean they would not become Canadian citizens for at least the length of the PR process, plus at least an additional 3 years of residency in Canada?

What if parent picks up and move to Canada. How would the other two children go about getting citizenship? Would they have to be sponsored as dependant children? Or will living in Canada somehow entitle them to a faster, more automatic route?

Hi Fellas, Just wanted some clarification with regard to the rights for Citizenship as the laws were changed in 2009 and then again in 2015 I believe? As far as I understand, if a child was born outside of Canada to a Canadian parent who was born in Canada, then that child will have the right...

Did you tell them at the border that you were not planning in living in Canada for another 8-9 months?

The fellow in question has been married for longer than 2 years and has a child with the sponsor. He is just not sure exactly when he will land as he still has business to take care of in the USA.

Hey All, A fellow's COPR is expiring soon and he does not have all his goods in order to bring on his trip in for "landing". If he fills out B-51 (is that what it's called?) how long does he have to import the goods listed tax free? Can they come 6-8 months later? Or is there a time limit on...

Well thanks for the heads up fellas.

What happens if you do not land in time and your landing documents expire? Do you have to start the application again from scratch? What if spouse makes trip in to Canada specifically for landing purposes but is not ready to move to Canada? Can they enter Canada to land and then immediately...

This is the info I got from CIC Philippines checklist.

Hey all, When sponsoring a dependant child from the Philippines (or anyone else for that matter) the country specific checklist asks for "original documents" for each dependant child. Document here in question is birth certificate. Now usually when CIC asks for originals, that means...

I see. So failure to file taxes for whatever reason would probably not justify a missing option C.

Does that or other social assistance invalidate a sponsor?

As far as I understand, the option C just lists all income from any sources including passive income like dividends, or earnings through interest. Still not exactly clear what the point of it is being that there is no minimum income requirement and the option C won't disclose whether or not...

I've never heard of an alternative to an option C? Would you know what this is?

Hey all, Family of Canadians are returning to Canada after living in Florida for the last 6 years. They visited Canada from time to time during their 6 year absence but were officially living in the USA for those 6 years. They are planning to return to Canada in August and are now a family of...

My friend would like to sponsor his USA wife to come live with him here in Canada but he has not filed taxes for the last 5 years. Says he has some "trouble" with the CRA. Is an option C absolutely necessary? If there is no minimum income requirement for a spousal sponsorship then what is the...

I see. What is a CAIPS/GCMS and how does one go about getting one?

But why would the child have had to do medical if the child planned to stay in Philippines?

A 24 year old is here in Canada on the Working Holiday visa which allows him to stay up to 24 months and work temporarily while he is here to support his trip. Is there a way for him to eventually get Permanent Residence here? Is there a way to leap frog into PR (besides marrying a CDN) Can he...
