From looking at last year's trackers: median is about 60 days, 'normal' range might be 30-120 days. About a fifth report longer. This is with a fair number (also ~20%) not reporting completed yet at all - not clear how many of those might be because their files really haven't moved, how many...

A minor add, I forgot to say to update all id, healthcare, cra, etc, to address in new province. And I assume work and residence are reasonably close. No games like residential address ten hours by car from work. (Sorry to even say this but there have been cases)

The ability to sponsor parents is HIGHLY uncertain - not clear what government's going to do with this at all, subject to long waiting periods and random chance as partially it's a lottery, and long-term requirements to show income above a certain level (by the applicant i.e. your son), and many...

Nope, not eligible to travel without a valid PR card / apply for other type of visa. It's either PR card or PRTD. Basically if he will be let aboard the plane, he'll be allowed to enter Canada. But we cannot tell you if he'll be let on board the plane. I doubt the airlines could tell you either...

You'll want to give it a bit of time, say a couple of months, to show you're indeed living in the other province (eg Ontario). Don't play games with sort-of living in another province. But if your question is, does residing in province A while working in Quebec mean you are a resident of A for...

I don't outright disagree with this (all useful points) but would say less critical overall for couples living together and who can document that. Put differently: sure, small-ISH. Not zero people or evidence. I'll let them work out the balance of the choices. The point remaining, if someone...

IRCC does not much care.

Yes. Last I checked, they do not require specific evidence except for the 'urgent' (24 hour) turnaround. Note they now are issuing passports quite quickly (service guarantee of 30 days) and often faster than the 30 days.

-I think both applying for a new PR card and sponsoring your spouse are fine, as long as you remain in Canada during the process, as you have evidence it was an H&C basis renewal. But I do not know how best to document this in your PR card renewal application (no need to in sponsorship app)...

You are claiming to be spouses 'for the paperwork.' Marriage by law is paperwork. Do what many, many others do in Canada who are residing together: have a small(ish) civil wedding. Have your bigger, fancier 'traditional' or whatever wedding you like, whenever you like.

She can come to Canada as a visitor. If she shows up and appears to be moving permanently, she might not be given entry.

Best I can suggest is keep logging in each day or so and making a change or two if you like. I think the system deletes ones that haven't been touched after some period. No guarantee but you can keep trying. Just in case - print out a copy since you may still end up re-entering.

The poster would appear to still be in compliance. There's no leniency in question at all yet. OP: return ASAP and you won't ahve any troubles. Drag out your return to point when you're not in compliance, and you could have some.

I've nothing to add to my previous comments and this mot juste.

My comments here with modest caution, you should also post to the residency obligation section / sub-forum, where these issues come up more often. -I think the info you got from GCMS notes is VERY important, that it means there is very little risk in applying for the new PR card and spousal...

My intuition is that PII is the interview, and PPT the request for all pages of passport. These used to be standard I think and now being waived routinely but likely under a program that continues to consider them standard and waived at discretion of some delegated authority level.

Sure, update it. But the question I'd ask: "or what? what difference does it make?" The truth is (my guess): they have a policy that says one must update them, and that policy is intended to catch ANY case where a recipient of services (eg healthcare) loses eligibility. You definitely DO have...

In the past they have sent requests to pay any unpaid amounts, esp if it happens around time of fee increase. I'd wait for that. It may be they'll let yours proceed on the the basis that you paid the amount in good faith prior to the fee increase.

What in heck are you talking about? They return the ATIP requests by email. There's no 'mail delay' exemption for responses they send by email. Here's an example from another thread: complain and gets some response...

Never too late or too irrelevant for a linkspammer!
