Was your passport seized or temporarily withheld? They normally should tell you why. If you want legal advice then consult a lawyer. This is just a forum for immigration applicants who would just share their personal opinions.

If you had the means, you could have come over to Canada to have the baby. You can try to come in and hope they won't check your residency numbers at the airport, but then that would mean staying here for long enough days to meet the requirements to sponsor your husband and child. I'm not sure...

Sometimes it's better to take precautions, the test only takes maybe 10 minutes if you are well prepared. Kids and family members should be able to manage 10 minutes without being physically close to you. Maybe put them in another room, and give them toys to play with. Now you have 2 chances to...

If they ask just tell them to explain the situation. Tell the border officials exactly what they are here for and who's coming with them. Remember that the border officials have seen multiple scenarios of people arriving so it's normal for siblings to arrive based on different immigration status.

Common names are usually a cause to request for fingerprints. It's not a big deal, it could just be they want to dot their i's and cross their t's. Imagine if someone of a similar name has any issues with the law or immigration, the only way to be sure is to check biometrics instead of refusing...

Not beneficial, you'll know anyways based on the office that sends a test invitation. Yes you can phone and ask but still no benefits as they'll still give same answers as the phone

Even pre-pandemic the average processing time was 12 months. You can choose what to do for yourself when it comes to the processing office. IRCC probably assigns files based on processing capacity so your file may be the next to be attended to in Vancouver but if you transfer then you may be put...

They don't send any emails for that.

21 days, but I already had it scanned just in case they asked. When the email came I sent it immediately.

No inside. In the past everyone had to show their documents in person in an interview. They are slowly rolling it back. Some with documents scan sent while some with actual interviews.

Passport scan request: December 21, 2022 Passport scan sent: December 21, 2022

If there's any criminal convictions, if they no longer meet residency requirements, there's many reasons why they may refuse an application.

To be fair your application is going through really fast. Most who applied since 2019 are still waiting. Your oath should come really soon

There's no way to know. I think they just draw names out of a hat. How hard is it to schedule 200 persons in a zoom call twice a day so they can clear up those waiting for years. They should also start larger in-person ceremonies like 500 plus persons 2 to 3 times a day. But IRCC doesn't really...

There's not much to do but wait. You can write your MP to pressure the government to improve the services at IRCC. You can also speak to a journalist to inquire why IRCC delays applications randomly

Sometimes yes. And sometimes they can transfer the file to another office if they're too busy or if another office has more capacity.

Causation doesn't mean correlation. It may give people who are having longer than normal processing time an idea of what's causing it. And also it can give those who receive a negative decision the reasons why. For those applications going through the normal process there's not much to learn...

Well, it depends on the person but IRCC has done the e-certificate pilot soon it'll all be online anyways. Look at some threads of people waiting to travel for personal emergencies and their certificates are either delayed or lost in the mail. I'm sure they'll prefer to just print the...

For something that is commemorative and used just once, you'll think they'll just send you an electronic copy and save themselves the headaches of printing and mailing hundreds of thousands of certificates yearly
