    New born baby after getting COPR and VISA

    Important warning: if baby is born before landing, you MUST advise IRCC. At landing you will sign a document saying family size has not changed - and if that's wrong it will cause serious problems later.

    application returned

    What field was it you missed? No, unfortunately, no way to get this put 'back on the top of the pile.' That said - write a letter if you want, won't hurt, and perhaps someone will be merciful.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Getting a TRV is not easy when the intent is primarily to remain in Canada. But you can try; sometimes they're merciful. You should also look at the other forums for TRV - it helps to show the spouse has ties to home country and will respect terms of entry (meaning depart if needed). But your...

    MAY 2021 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

    Your app is within the normal timeframe - expect 12 months, if faster, great. If you're going to get upset every time you read someone else's moved faster than yours, you should stop reading forums. They do not all proceed in same timeframes. And if they did, everyone's file would proceed no...

    Does passport Canada call the guarantor and the references?

    Yes: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/dont-know-anyone-that-meets-the-criteria-of-a-passport-guarantor.749796/post-9817472 Govt of Canada site is pretty clear on this.

    Spousal sponsorship

    If you have been or are living outside country for more than one year, that's living exclusively outside Canada (in my view). No big deal: apply as canadian sponsor abroad. if all is as you say, you won't have issues demonstrating intent to return to Canada. You didn't mention that you are not...

    Why CBSA exit report is not available yet?

    Do you have the announcement, does it clearly say that both will be reported _to travellers_ after June 2020? I don't think they did. They announced the govt would be tracking it - but it's not clear whether CBSA would have that info (it may be 'owned' by Transport Canada or some other agency.)...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    No impact, really, just update the address. Note that when approved child would do a virtual landing (in Canada); sometimes the wires get crossed and they'll send passport request as if child still abroad. If so, worst impact is a bit of time to sort out the confusion.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Repeat, order your GCMS notes. The "we are still processing [date]" message does NOT mean they are not processing files submitted after that. They process files in parallel, not sequentially. That message means (basically) that IRCC is reaching appr 80% completion for files submitted during...

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    We had ours printed at the photo shop. Can't say whether your plan will work. Ours was a family app. But if you are applying only for child, no, you shouldn't need to provide other passport-style photos.

    Dependent Child Sponsorship - 2021

    Well, you'll have to get the photos physically sent. If you mean the photos dated and stamped - ideal if the photo studio can do so. If they can't, it's fine to write in by hand on the back - details of photos studio (name, address, telephone or email), date. (That's what we did) Note: as far...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Order gcms notes. But so far, timeline is within expectations.

    Spousal sponsorship

    So as a citizen, you can sponsor from abroad. The most significant difference of marking whether you exclusively live abroad is that as a citizen-sponsor abroad, you'll have to show your intent to return to Canada. Given everything you've said above, demonstrating that shouldn't be difficult at...

    I am in Canada with an Expired PR card doing my Obligated days but I've been invited to a wedding in the UK (help)

    The context of what happened before is really important - you really should not leave out important information like that (up to you, of course). Yes, you having a full time job in Canada and staying a good solid year is a positive. But that has to be weighed against the 'rough time' you got...

    I am in Canada with an Expired PR card doing my Obligated days but I've been invited to a wedding in the UK (help)

    You should assume that they will identify you as a PR using these things they have ('computers') and that not saying you're a PR - otherwise known as lying - might be bad. Your best bet is usually just to tell the truth. As above, there's no zero risk way to depart and re-enter. You are...

    Sponsoring a Child (URGENT)

    You already had this answered earlier in this thread: "He should have no issues studying in Canada on a TRV given you are both PRs and will submit a sponsorship application." Don't complicate things. A study visa is for those who will pay to study in Canada at foreign rates. It is not what you...

    Passport request

    Option 1. The other is not for a PR application. I believe FCP means family class something.

    Applying outland sponsorship while spouse in Canada

    Sure, I guess. You probably do wnat to make clear that spouse is in Canada at time of filing the address, though.

    Applying outland sponsorship while spouse in Canada

    Don't know, honestly. Or even what 'mention home country address' means - generally one provides addresses one has lived at and current address. Would at minimum suggest: provide Canadian mailing address. You might also want to include letter of explanation eg applying outland even though...
