Yes, if you get married now they will consider it with THIS application. You will however have to wait however long it takes to receive your marriage certificate to send it in to them.

@Elanigana You CAN get married now and supply that information to CIC. You will NOT have to file a new application. They will take your marriage into account and continue to process your application. Common Law and Legally Married are NOT different streams. Spousal applications are spousal...

If you're talking about the one that the judge signed decreeing that the divorce is final then it should be fine.

I don't think so. The purpose of stamping the COPR with "no longer a PR" is to signify that I am now a citizen. I am no longer a PR. EDIT: The link you are referencing hasn't been updated since 2014. I suspect they would update it with the new IMM 5688 form which is what all new PR's have been...

I can assure you, I do not have an IMM 1000 it is IMM 5688. The office where I took my oath took all of the applicants COPR and stamped each and every one.

If you are in Canada (and have been for at least 1 year) then you can file for a divorce in Canada. If your wife is included in your PR application as a dependent and you no longer wish her to be a dependent then you must call CIC as soon as you can and have her removed. It will be easier to...

Did he get his citizenship? If he did, then no problem. If he did not he is still technically a PR, however, getting to the Canadian border is going to pose a huge challenge for him because I suspect he does not have a valid PR card, he would need to apply for a PRTD which in all liklihood...

Yes, the date you sign the declaration would be sufficient as the TO date.

Paul should apply for citizenship. If he receives it, then great, if he does not and wishes to argue the point. Find a lawyer. He'll never navigate it all without one. Points could be argued here all day, however, at the end of the day, nobody really knows what CIC is going to say until they...

@Thamely Mine took 7 days from application to delivery, so not sure anyone needs to apply express recently.

You have a couple options for guarantor. You can do a doctor/dentist/pharmacist anyone of that nature that knows you for 5 years or more, or you can use the Statutory Declaration in Lieu of Guarantor.

It may have been and error on their part, but now that you have disabled all access, you won't know when/if they've fixed it. You've also disabled your own access. You'll have to wait for emails and/or regular snail mail. Good luck!

Each office is different for how long their ceremony is but you can bet on spending no less than 2 hours. You'll want to be about 15 minutes early from your scheduled time, which is USUALLY about an hour before the ceremony starts. Most ceremonies last about an hour or so. Yes, you'll have to...

I was referring to the guarantor part of your question. A spouse, provided you have been married for 5 years and he/she has a passport they can do that part for you. As far as a name change, I would suggest you get that done prior to obtaining your passport. I believe they will give you a new...

Are you not married? Have you been married for at least 5 years? Does your spouse hold a Canadian passport?

I suspect this question is best asked in the PNP section of this forum. This is the section of the forum for citizenship, which you're a long away from if you aren't even yet a PR.

Yes, absolutely can have a negative effect. What that could be or what it might do to your application is completely up to IRCC. Just be prepared that there could be negative consequences to the actions you took by abandoning your previous refugee claim in the US.

I would also question whether you should be attempting to land via the Windsor/Detroit tunnel since it is currently closed for repairs. Might I suggest the Ambassador Bridge as your port of entry instead? ;)

I applied for mine on April 30. My receipt said I should expect my passport to be mailed on May 14. My passport was at my front door on May 7. Only 7 days turn around? Yeah, I'm happy about that! Officially Canadian. It feels incredible!

As a Canadian citizen, you are free to travel and live where you choose. Relocating to another country, even on a permanent basis, does not affect your status as a Canadian citizen. You remain a Canadian citizen as long as you wish. Of course you will not have access to Canadian health care if...
