    PR Card Successfully Renewed for Sponsored Parents - H&C Grounds / Not meeting RO

    . Beyond the scope of well-worn processing patterns (such as those underlying the conventional wisdom for PRs in RO breach, and in Canada, to wait to apply for a new PR card only after they have stayed long enough to be in RO compliance), trying to figure out what went on under-the-hood in...

    PR Card Successfully Renewed for Sponsored Parents - H&C Grounds / Not meeting RO

    Some Context; Further Observations . . . apart from the OP's situation . . . At the risk of repeating what I have posted before, the requirement to be IN Canada when making a PR card application warrants some further explanation or clarification apart from the OP's situation. And, perhaps...

    PR Card renewal rejected

    Assuming you mean "MRZ" rather than "MZR," wait for communication from IRCC and follow their instructions. Otherwise, probably likewise but I am not familiar with what MZR means in regards to identification, PR cards, or PR card applications. Again assuming you mean "MRZ," as long as your ID is...

    Automated Decision-Making -- "Advanced Analytics" -- and AI, yeah that AI, so maybe some GOTCHA

    Given some other conversations of late . . . Some AI/automated processing related speculation: It is quite possible that the combination of online applications and machine processing will facilitate some fudging of information, at least during these transition periods (which will take many...

    PR Card Successfully Renewed for Sponsored Parents - H&C Grounds / Not meeting RO

    You might want to see a lawyer before you say or do anything more in regards to this. If a PR card application was submitted with the "I am in Canada" box checked, or the equivalent in an online application, for a PR who was not in Canada at the time the application was submitted, that is a...

    PR Card Successfully Renewed for Sponsored Parents - H&C Grounds / Not meeting RO

    Congratulations. Am curious, however, how they got around the requirement to be IN Canada when they made the application for new PR cards. That is something many others are interested in navigating, to the extent possible. So this is information that would almost certainly be much appreciated.

    New requirement to disclose travel history from birth ??

    Further Explanation and Observations: This question was added to the grant citizenship application in February 2019, in paper application form CIT 0002 (02-2019)E . . . it was not in the previous application forms including the form adopted in June 2017, that is CIT 0002 (06-2017)E. The...

    New requirement to disclose travel history from birth ??

    Question 13 in the citizenship application: "Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other than Canada (this includes your country of birth)?” For sure, at minimum, the application form is asking the applicant to disclose ALL formal...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    A sidebar regarding "freebies" . . . resisting the temptation to get into the technical weeds, to define "freebies" perhaps . . . Actually the temptation was to couch these particular observations as a sideshow rather than a sidebar. There are no technicalities in regards to freebies, no...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    The latter later . . . First from back in early May: Extensive detail is indeed good information. Much appreciated. Your story, however, demands a big red flag, a caution: just in procedural terms your situation is uncommon, probably unusual if not highly unusual (will explain below), so...

    PR card renewal obligations

    For sure. "Key elements" as indicated by the applicable instructions. For a PR relying on RO credit for days outside Canada accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse, for example, the "proof" submitted should be according to the description of supporting documents under the subtitle Situation B...

    First PR Card mailed out but no GU2

    Why are you "freaking out" now? Why is there a "desperate need" for advice? It is not clear what your concerns are. There is no indication that your status as a Canadian is at risk. Whether you have a new PR card in possession or will need to wait to get one will have NO effect on your Canadian...

    Marital Status Question

    I do not generally disagree with the observations posted by @Seym in response to your query, and in particular I concur with pick one (the one YOU think accurately or best describes your "marital status"), and I further agree that what you declare here is not likely to have much affect (if any...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I cannot opine on the prospects of any particular individual pursuing mandamus relief, whether or not a lawyer is involved; these cases are very fact specific depending on details in the individual's particular case. So, for example, I cannot forecast how this is going to go for @hsnhsyn12...

    PR application / PRTD question

    Short response: no indication of cause for worry. Respond accurately and honestly. Otherwise . . . This is "new" compared to the 2020 version of the application for a new PR card, which to be clear is not to renew PR status, but to renew an expired, or soon to expire status card; that is, this...

    PR card renewal obligations

    Reminder: Two pieces of evidence showing residence in Canada is sufficient when the PR card applicant is in compliance with the RO based on physical presence in Canada for at least 730 days within the relevant time period. Indeed, this is ONLY when the PR card applicant is in compliance with the...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    For context, this is a weedy aside in regards to SECU information published online by IRCC, in regards to the Minister of IRCC's appearance before the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security (SECU) on Alleged Terrorist Immigration to Canada, September 19, 2024 (see link to full...

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    Clarifications . . . (yeah, the dreaded editor, never satisfied . . . ) Obviously, truthful disclosures in the citizenship application are not misrepresentation. So I sense this query is more about whether there will be a negative credibility factor in processing the citizenship application...

    Regional Case Officer also Inspect PR Residency Obligation?

    To be filed under middle of the night clarifications . . . The observation in parentheses warrants emphasis for clarification. It is the situation itself that is unusual, not the least because a TRV was issued to a PR who is being sponsored for PR. (Note: Others have addressed various aspects...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    As the observations by @armoured illustrate, much of what you are referring to here actually is public information. Accessing it, and especially being able to readily access it, just finding it, is the trick. And a big part of the trick is figuring out what to look for and knowing how to...
