I completely agree with these two points. People seem to forget that whatever guidelines exist, it's still human beings looking over these documents and you'd be kidding yourself to not think that there is an element of human instinct (and bias) that enter the equation for these officers. It's...

This is certainly inaccurate information. As obviously shown from the data collected through this forum, delays occur for a variety of reasons. Reapply if you want, but I would suggest additional patience to not gum up the works with unnecessary multiple applications.

Fingerprints are sent electronically to RCMP for processing, but by mail to IRCC when results are known.

Sure, but that's not worth getting a lawyer involved over.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the period on a work visa counts, does it?

I guess I don't think it should be all that difficult for someone to prove their presence requirement, either. If you've been here for years as a PR in preparation for attaining your citizenship, it shouldn't be difficult to provide the documentation.

I don't think anyone in this forum can answer definitively. I personally wouldn't think you have an urgent case, but I don't see where there is harm in trying to ask. Worse thing that can happen is they say no.

Your application came in during a time when 10's of thousands (maybe way more, even) were flooding their offices. It's not likely it's lost, just in a pile somewhere. They will get to it eventually.

The PR application can be complex, but the Citizenship application is way easier by comparison.

They will send the request by mail and make a note in ECAS that a request was mailed to you.

As most of us read multiple threads, it's unnecessary to cross-post to more than one thread. I would wait a while longer before submitting another application and only if told to do so.

You'll need to arrange for car insurance through a Canadian broker, I'd think. You'll probably want to get your license sorted out first. That would be fairly straight forward, however you may need something from your home state in regards to your drivers license history to prove how long you've...

I did, out of curiosity and to verify the information I was using for the presence calculation. While interesting, I didn't find it terribly useful nor was it completely accurate.

My two cents... Once you became a PR, the work permit is no longer needed. It was not a travel document during your eligibility period (starting when you got PR), so I wouldn't include it.

Since we are talking about a government agency specifically looking for discrepancies, they will generally assume the worst as it should be their job to do so. It's not that people that have responded so far are saying the OP willfully misrepresented the PR application, rather they are saying...

This thread should just be deleted in favour of threads for specific months being tracked.

Please avoid cross-posting the same issue as you have in other threads.

I've had immigrant students that came with 10 years of driving history from various countries and had to start with a G1. In most cases, the 8 month waiting period is waived and the applicant has the option to road test for G2 or G. (I usually encourage people to just go for the G.) I would...

Timelines will differ depending on which province you intend to live in and your previous driving experience.

If you don't mind sharing, what did you say was the nature of the urgency? Did you send proof along with the request?
