IRCC explains it in laymen terms right here: https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1457&top=10 It's not really an exemption from the requirement to have a PR card as there is actually no such requirement. It's more that the risk of fines and costs of removal commercial...

Before 1947 when the first Canadian Citizenship Act came into force, there was a law called the Canadian Nationals Act, R.S.C. 1927 c. 21, under which British subjects with domicile in Canada (a.k.a. "citizens"), their wives and their descendants in the male line were Canadian nationals...

Visitor record - visitor status. You never held a Temporary Resident Permit (TRP), otherwise you would know. Those are only for people who are inadmissible to Canada for one reason or another and need the permit to overcome that inadmissibility.

None of the listed documents would have a picture for a minor. The application instructions for the paper application state...

Meaning if they only issue the new ones after June 19, 2024 (summer starts on June 20), they are on time. However, the Government of Canada has an odd way of keeping time. They promised online renewals "by fall 2023", however online renewals are still not available and they haven't updated that...

Subection 12(2) of the Privacy Act states, All you have to is reply to the email that attached the travel history report and cite subsection 12(2) of the Privacy Act, requesting this entry to be added by way of a correction or notation. Be sure to mention both correction and notation.

That's because maintained status just means your temporary resident status was maintained. It is not a separate type of status. If she had permission to work on the study permit on June 19, 2020, the date she submitted her work permit application, and didn't leave Canada before October 13...

There aren't really degrees of monarchies. A state is either a monarchy or a republic. The system of government, which by neccessity involves the degree to which the head of state is part of the government, is independent of the state. This is because you have to distinguish between the state...

"Not governed by a monarchy" makes little sense because, as I said, monarchies are a form of state and not a type of government. The only case when you would likely see a monarch govern is that of an absolute monarchy in which there is no elected government, although it is possible that the...

The Governor in Council is just a fancy way of saying the cabinet, meaning in practice primarily the responsible minister who proposed this and secondarily the Prime Minister. The Governor Governor can't say no. Only the prime minister or a vote of the whole cabinet if that's how it was dealt...

Those people do exist but they are very rare and usually associated with certain unfriendly foreign regimes. Requiring applicants to swear the oath before an authorized official is not going to stop them, that's what the security screening process is for. It would still have required applicants...

That's just disingenuous. The proposal was never about imposing self-administered oaths on everybody. It was about giving people options. Under this proposal, each applicant could choose for themselves what they want to do, whether they want in person, by video or self-administered. If you...

Officially it didn'f fail. However, there are always people who scream louder and want to impose what they prefer on everybody else.

Just for all those hard core fans of the monarchy. Something far simpler would also be to give candidates the oath form to take to a notary or commissioner of their choice. They can then do whatever fancy ceremony there they wish, following which they or the person administering the oath will...

Then those who don't share my assumption could always request an oath in person. They made clear that they would always offer both the ceremony and the self-administered oath if this was going to be implemented.

The Oath of Citizenship is a mere formality, nothing of substance. Police officers can now lay informations (charges) in writing by making an electronic statement that is deemed to be an oath. A lot of the time, lawyers submit agreed statements of fact in court without calling the actual...

Even if OP applied for the ATIP the same day I suggested it, they still likely won't have it because it usually takes 30 days. But they might have it on March 22 or 23. I suggest you apply for an ATIP under the Privacy Act yourself.

If it's in the machine readable zone (MRZ) of the passport you used to apply for permanent residence, then you should contact IRCC with a correction request if you want it changed...

The easiest would be to keep all documents the way they are now. Even if you don't have your middle name/mother's maiden name on your Canadian passport and citizenship certificate, it's obvious that all these documents belong to the same person. Does your mother's maiden name appear in the...

If you are asking specifically about any travel with a commercial carrier, only the first and last name are required and have to match. Any additional names, whatever purpose they serve are optional. Just make sure you book your travel with only your last and first name, then it will match...
