    Does the CPR invalidates my temporary visa?

    If you look at the email they sent you it should say that "they are ready to issue your visa". They probably won't issue the visa until they have your passport, in which case a previous visa would not be invalidated. Send an email to the agent that sent you your PPR request and ask.

    Help with my expired PR card

    You said you landed in Aug 2011... when did you leave Canada after you landed? How long have you been in the US? These questions are important because for you (not your family as they never landed) to re-enter Canada an ever be considered on compassionate grounds (no other choice) you would have...

    Does the CPR invalidates my temporary visa?

    Do the math and see if sending the passport after you come back is too late. If it is I am guessing that a trip to the USA is less important than becoming a PR.

    Spousal sponsorship

    You say that your whole life is in Canada, so perhaps you can also use that. You can state and provide proof of when and where you were working in Canada last (taxes, pay stubs, previous rentals, properties, etc) and that you left to marry your wife and that you will be in Pakistan only until...

    Spousal sponsorship

    So, basically you are suggesting that by sending the app within Canada things will change? You are wrong in suggesting that. First, it does not work like that. Just because an application is mailed within Canada doesn't change anything except perhaps the sponsor attempting to misrepresent his...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Weren't you asked for proof of paid RPRF? That's not the same as settlement funds. RPRF is Right of Permanent Residence Fee.

    Conditional PR to spouse

    Also, note that conditional PR is only for sponsored spouses. You are the spouse of an EE applicant and that makes you a dependent spouse, not a sponsored spouse.

    Study permit rejected (immigration status in country of residence, ...)

    You must tie the reason "You have not satisfied me that you would leave Canada at the end of your stay", to the factors: - immigration status in country of residence Are you in NZ as a tourist studying English or are you under a student visa? Have you over-stayed? Have you stayed in NZ for a...

    1st & 2nd Generation Canadian Citizen Questions

    My 2 cents. I hope it sheds a different light. Based on the facts you have outlined: Grandfather: Born in Canada in the 1910's Mother: Born in the UK in 1951 You: Born in UK in 1985 By the Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 (effective 1947) your grandfather was granted Canadian citizenship (as...

    dual citizenship..? Deceased parent.

    I found another piece of information which could be a total deal breaker, if there ever was one. The act of 1946 says that Canadian citizenship was conferred to British subjects who were born in Canada (and had not become an alien before 1947). Therefore, if your grandparents became US citizens...

    dual citizenship..? Deceased parent.

    It will all depend on the dates of different events. The Canadian Immigration Act of 1910 created the Canadian Citizenship to designate all British subjects born in Canada. However, this would not apply to people born in Newfoundland. The Canadian Citizenship Act of 1946 (effective 1 Jan 1947)...

    VISA GOT REFUSED

    Same course and what else? What are you changing that your chances will improve? Reapplying under the same circumstance will not result in a different outcome. I cannot suggest a course for you, that is a personal career decision.

    Entering Canada with an expired PR card - urgent please help.

    No, you having a US passport and your daughter a Canadian passport will not necessarily raise a flag when checking in or boarding; that is a pretty common situation. You, however, having a US passport without a return ticket to the US may raise a flag. Then again, you can buy a refundable one...

    VISA GOT REFUSED

    Were you offered an admission to the college you intended to attend? If yes, then this is not about your English knowledge. You could not have applied for a visa and study permit unless you were admitted. Now, as I mentioned before, what you wish to study is not the typical first program choice...

    VISA GOT REFUSED

    IELTS score is irrelevant to the Visa Officer in this case. It is up to the school to set the minimum scores to offer an admission. Once you have an offer, you use that for the Visa and Study permit.

    VISA GOT REFUSED

    That is a one year certificate program that may be available somehow, somewhere in India. Boldly put, it seems CIC is considering that the stated purpose of visit is only a way to get to Canada for a different purpose. You needed to apply for a higher level of education, longer program. While...

    Do my age matter for graduate programs

    Age should not matter, I was just accepted to a post graduate program and I am 47yo and my prior education was done abroad. However, Canadian institutions will make it very difficult for you if you do not have a credential evaluation report issued by a recognized and approved institution in...

    Entering Canada with an expired PR card - urgent please help.

    I am wondering why this loophole still exists. Clearly, before eTA, visa exempt citizens whose PR cards were expired or whose RO was in question were benefiting from being allowed to fly into Canada on the strength of their national passports alone, dealing with the actual issue in Canada, while...

    Entering Canada with an expired PR card - urgent please help.

    Re: Entering Canada with an expired PR card -Advice To apply renew a PR card you must be in Canada. However, it is not likely your PR card will be renewed as you have clearly not met your RO. No, it is not up to the immigration officer's mood to let you in Canada. The officer will indeed make...

    Entering Canada with an expired PR card - urgent please help.

    If you still can meet your RO you can seek obtaining a travel document for those of you who have an expired PR card. If you know you have not met your RO, then it gets tricky. You could board a plane using your USA passport alone just to get to Canada by air. By land or air you must declare...
