No clear path here that I can see. It appears that multiple people are using the @MeaZaid account here, including a sister in Canada, who wants help with maternity issues, a sister in Pakistan, who has been invited by sister in Canada and a brother in Pakistan, who wrote here in January. So...

Tinatanong mo ba kung ilang sigarilyo ang maaari mong dalhin bilang isang bisita? Naniniwala ako na ito ay 200. Hindi ko pa rin maintindihan ang age limit question.

Walang saysay ang tanong mo. Ano ang isang "rim"? Limitasyon ng edad para sa ano?

How many times do you plan to post this same question under different threads?

The official party line on this forum is that the notes are always a cornucopia of information and will provide insight into exactly what the visa officer was thinking and set out clear and cogent reasons. Like your friend, my TRV experience was the same. The notes read exactly the same way...

Your 3-fold guess has merit. Your last comment is certainly accurate. There was a lot of euphoria at the time of the announcement stemming from the belief there would be a sea change in policy and that unprecedented high volumes of TRVs for spousal PR applicants would be approved and even...

Thanks for that. I recognized that you would be relying on the spring 2023 "announcement". It was made by Sean Fraser, who is no longer Minister of Immigration and there is no clear evidence that the IRCC has since employed a new set of processing standards for TRVs for permanent resident...

Maybe just me, but some of what you say is a bit confusing. I am not sure how withdrawing a Nov./23 TRV application and getting in line with a new one, about 6 months later, will speed things up. Can you set out the rationale for that? It sounds like you are a Canadian citizen or PR and you...

If you have to ask, you can't afford it. Spammers like this don't work cheap!

Let's say that to me, as someone who grew up in Canada, the question is quite clear. I am not sure that the question word be better worded by asking “Are you sponsor living outside Canada?” Of no moment now, in any event. If the file gets returned as incomplete that will occur at the AOR...

Not sure why you would have answered N/A when it was clear that: (a) you are not a Canadian citizen; and (b) you are not living outside Canada. No doubt the IRCC will see the answer N/A as wrong there's a good chance, I would think, they they will return your application. I suppose they could...

Agree with your post, except getting married abroad might not guarantee registration of the new marriage in the Phils, if the PSA has red-flagged this couple and won't allow it unless a judicial recognition has been obtained (as silly as that sounds). It will depend on what, if anything, is...

Sayang you ended up with a license issuer who asked for a statement in lieu. I was not asked for that when I got married in Iloilo in 2022. I have friends married in other parts of the Phils who were never asked. What is concerning right now is that your case was raised to the regional PSA...

@Xilikon might have greater expertise here than I, and it seems your situation has become unexpectedly complicated. How is it that the local marriage license issuing authority asked for your judicial recognition? If you turned up with a cenomar, how did they even know about a previous...

I must be missing something here. You say you have been in Pakistan (I believe that's your home country) for "some time", yet just last month you were applying for a supervise for your mom. Were you doing that application from Pakistan? Anyway, maybe now that you have been told of 3 years to...

I am not sure where you will be in Canada, but you mention your computation and it appears you have learned that $80/night is okay for hotel, $20-30/day for food, etc. There may well be places that inexpensive, but not many in cities. Just out of curiosity, I did one tiny bit of research just...

So, will the IRCC see it that the adoption has retroactively cured any defect in the bc? And what of @scylla's comment about need to adopt before age 18? Does the belated adoption cure all of that? I would not think so, but I cannot speak for IRCC.

You might be putting too much store in being the "legal father". I think there is more to paternity than getting one's name on a birth certificate. I have a friend from the U.S. who met a woman while he was visiting the Philippines. When they met, she was already pregnant as the result of a...

I am sorry to say that we have exhausted my limited knowledge bank on the topic. As I mentioned elsewhere recently, my only experience is with spousal/dependents sponsorship PR applications and, unlike some others here, I usually don't follow (hence don't learn) about various other aspects of...

If you are still thinking lawsuit, you might have causes of action beyond the $1k, which could be characterized in several ways, breach of contract, total failure of consideration, fraud and negligence causes I already suggested. You might want to include a claim for non-pecuniary damages...
