    Almost certainly losing my PR... please help!

    Though keep in mind if doing this that one has to remain in Canada until they are in compliance with the RO without any interaction with IRCC/CBSA or still risk a report of the violation of the RO. Specifically, this precludes someone from travelling outside of Canada - which can be challenging...

    RO violation of 2 days with previous recent visit

    If your calculations are correct, and if indeed you can only get 728 days of presence in Canada in the relevant 5-year period; as the law stands, you will be in violation of the residency obligation. There is, therefore, a risk of being reported and the process being initiated to revoke status...

    Can I still move back to Canada

    Forget the expiration date of your PR card, just ignore it (for now). These are the questions you need to answer before a determination on your compliance with the Residency Obligation (RO) can be made: What day did you become a PR? Since that day, how many days have you been in Canada? What...

    Understanding OHIP requirements

    If your mother has proof of status, identity, and address you can go to Service Ontario with the filled in form and they will register her for OHIP. Coverage won't start until the eligible day but you'll get the card mailed to you and your health number will be active starting on the earliest...

    Re-entering Canada without PR Card, only CoPR and passport - by plane

    Sorry for the late reply, I've been off these forums mostly, and it's only by chance that I came across this post. I will share my experience: Went to the rental car counter at BUF airport to pick up the car and asked if they had any Canadian-plated vehicles. Rental agent said no, didn't think...

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    The letter that we got regarding sponsorship approval did not have the line that you quoted saying anything about a visa office, and we got a separate letter saying that the PR application would be processed by CPC-M that said nothing about sponsorship approval. Seems like a very peculiar set...

    I saw on MyCIC that IRCC is now processing my background check as of last week Thursday, so yay for movement on my file. Don't know if I posted that already, here. Otherwise still waiting.

    **MISSISSAUGA PROCESSING** - Outland Spousal Applicants

    My document status has said not applicable ever since I resubmitted my schedule A via the web form. I remember reading here that 'not applicable' is a fairly common thing and nothing to be concerned about.

    Legally separated but no separation agreement

    You could write a letter explaining the situation and provide that in lieu of a formal document. It would largely depend on the local law as to whether your parents are legally separated, but most often there has to be some form of official document for this to be recognized internationally...

    Any advice...

    At this stage it might also help to contact your Member of Parliament and have their office make an inquiry on your behalf. You're well past the stated target of 12 months. Sometimes MPs can get the ball rolling again if the application is stalled.

    WHere to send passport if I travel?

    Your question is probably best asked in the Express Entry section of the forum because the people there will be familiar with the passport request letters sent out for applicants under that stream. However, my understanding is that generally it has to be the office dealing with the application...

    You can call +1 613 944 4000 and select the options for immigration and citizenship to be put through to the IRCC phone lines. I got my medical request a few weeks before I got the notice that the application is being processed in Mississauga, and I believe many people get the request before...

    Psychiatric exam / report requested for child

    I cannot readily find an official source to back this up, but I believe that it is rare for a spouse/partner or dependent child to be refused on medical grounds and that for these two categories only the excessive demand clause is not applied in refusals. However, if there is an issue relating...
