I'd add two small points: -applicants can include these other issues ('not generally accepted') - they just may not carry a lot of weight. (And logically some might contradict other reasons - too sick to return to Canada and had a great job at home are not a good combo). -the extent of the...

Another approach to take is to request ALL files related to your UCI# (same as your PR#).

Ah, thanks. I'd misunderstood what you were implying. Yes, you should have checked before on that, but what's done is done - don't blame you on that. In principle the airlines have a system where the airline desk checks/gets clearance from CBSA in advance - but how well this works at the...

This is not true. It's not a 'target', and it's not a service standard, it is a period set by law in the privacy act: https://www.canada.ca/en/taxpayers-ombudsperson/programs/reports-publications/special-reports/acting-atip.html (this is not on topic as a different agency but nonetheless - it...

What do you mean when you say "Found out the hard way about the 6 month rule for those with immigrant visas"?

The proper test to understand is if you have been out of Canada LESS THAN 1095 days since you became a PR, you are still in compliance.* If you return before you're out of compliance - no issue. So obviously: return while you are still in compliance. *This formula works until the fifth...

Personally I don't think either of these are worth correcting. Unless the type of visa was very different (like permanent resident instead of tourist, perhaps). Your other one: too complicated an explanation. Just leave it, explain if they ask.

What do you mean? You could contact IRCC/Delhi. I don't know if they'll do anything or be able to. Probably they would, issue a new one, possibly with an extension, but I can't promise that of course.

https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1650&top=16 This IRCC page says yes. However, you really, really need to confirm this with the airline in advance. It won't help you to have a webpage link if the airline doesn't let you board. Now important question: is the old...

There is no immigration file 'held' by another province*, and hence no transfer. If you've been a PR for three years now, there is no issue whatsoever and you can move without any notification of IRCC. The only formalities are basically just your civil matters, taxes, identification like...

Is this period within your five year period prior to application? Waiting until past five years would make this less likely to be looked at. That said, I don't know that your situation is actually an issue, nor that my suggestion will be guaranteed to work (if it is an issue, of course).

Where did you travel to that time? But did you actually travel to your home country this time (this was a separate time than above, right? Using what document? Who cancelled your citizenship application? How did you find out about this? You should speak to a lawyer. While you can still 'do'...

It's entirely up to you. As an established resident, you'd primarily need a PR card to board a plane back to Canada. If you don't plan to travel at all, no issue. If you're applying now, based on the 8-11 month processing time, you might be without a PR card for a couple of months. In Canada -...

Passport received / picked up from Canada Post. If you consider I applied very late evening Monday (i.e. actually Tuesday), it took exactly one week. Stupendous.

https://eservices.cic.gc.ca/epay/order.do?category=15 Whoever pays it, you'll just attach a copy of the receipt. Don't do that until you're ready with the rest.

One small note: if you can't clarify with him beforehand that he will cooperate, then don't include him. Doesn't make sense to go through explaining to IRCC in real time the relatonship is breaking down - decide which way to go before applying.

Yes, he was misinformed.

Then he'll never be able to be sponsored by you anyway, so just dump him.

IRCC does not 'keep a file' on marital status of PRs. There's no requirement to update on an ongoing basis. You provide the new infomration when it's relevant, like submitting a new application.
