You seem to have an exceedingly high overestimation of the civility of your own discourse - notably your persistent signature that refers to other members as "deranged types who clog the thread", refer to their contributions as 'verbal diarrhea' and demagoguery, "in need of medication and mental...

I do not know current state of affairs at each crossing - my understanding is that you cannot at all of them, but at some you may be able to, notably the pedestrian bridge at Niagara Falls. But you really will have to check for each individual crossing, and check carefully.

Not really. You can check ecas, you can inquire of your MP, you can order your gcms notes once in a while. But not gckey. To be clear: mostly checking daily is useless and doesn't help. You do want to know that your rep is diligent and at least checks once in a while - but you'll have to...

Thanks for quoting; I have emphasized the points here that seem to be what you are missing: that although the government in many different ways says you "should" have exact identification (often stating this as 'must'), this is actually not true in statute. As this part clearly says: for...

To emphasize a point I referred to above in passing. I would strongly recommend to all PRs travelling abroad, with or without all the documentation in the world including valid PR cards: you should know your UCI and PR card number* and have a record of it somewhere safe, i.e. with a friend or...

I'd just add to this: if you have family and other ties to Canada (as it seems at least a cousin, so presumably other extended family), refer to those ties as well. It seems may also be helpful to emphasize that you are applying as soon as was practically / legally feasible (i.e. since becoming...

Order your gcms notes, inquire through your MP.

Again, you do not know what you are talking about. These are requirements of the nexus and fast programs, not entry in general. You must read the source carefully to understand - this source says "You need a valid permanent resident (PR) card to return to Canada by plane, train, bus...

YOu have posted in the forum entitled "Family Sponsorship Forum." If you are now a PR (full-stop) and now wish to sponsor your spouse, this is the correct forum. If you have an ongoing app (you are not yet a PR), you should post in one of the other forums here...

Yes - not always, but frequently, yes. Expired PR cards in particular - the cards expire, PR status does not, and so the expired PR card is good evidence that the person was a PR, all that needs to be established is that PR status hasn't been cancelled. (COPRs are less useful in at least one...

There are some successful cases with and without lawyers. Let's explain how they can help (assuming good ones): 1) Lawyers should know the precise parts of the laws and regulations to craft (write) a specific, carefully-targetted request that uses (responds to) the language used and specified...

To be clear: if someone is a PR, they are a PR - basically no matter what way they became a PR, the process of sponsoring a spouse is the same. (There are some very specific cases where it matters as to whether they can sponsor right away - eg if sponsored by a previous spouse - but doesn't...

Of course we kept the actual forms together so that their page numbers still matched.

If it's tech, then any of the mid-sized cities with universities within a few hours of Toronto (if you don't want to actually be in Toronto) should be good enough and with tech jobs and stuff nearby, good support networks. Kitchener-Waterloo is a tech world in itself, but Guelph, London...

Mail = email, letter = email in IRCC parlance. Delays? They have servers for mass emailings of some things, they send at night. They very rarely send physical mail if there is email on record.

Without knowing part of the country or which 'city' is the eventual target, pretty hard to say much useful. If it's a large city in question, suburbs. But from a slightly different angle for a suggestion: pick a mid-sized city that has a university. It'll have a lot of facilities for students...

Are you sure it wasn't the email that they sent you to link it? Did it say anything else at all? At any rate, yes, sometimes these gaps in communication between the message 'we sent you a letter' and getting it, a matter usually of only days. So wait a bit. But more often, the person has...

Doubt it matters as long as organized and clear. We attached close to the relevant forms and didn't ahve a problem.

To basically answer all your questions at once - they will (usually) issue a visa in a passport with less than six months, and for a PR arriving, one day remaining is technically enough - the rest is your problem. If the visa and copr expire before she can use them - IRCC is not obliged to issue...

The website is a bit wonky but instructions are there: Two-way courier service : Due to the ongoing Covid-19 outbreak, the Visa Application Centre is only accepting applications for biometrics exempt applicants via the courier service offered by the VAC. All passports will also only be returned...
