    counting days o/s Canada while accompanying Canadian spouse, towards residency obligation

    You seem to search out disappointment, when you already know it's there. Just don't log in for a while, it'll feel so much more vivid and real when you experience it anew. As the old joke has it, what did the masochist say to the sadist? ... "Hurt me, hurt me!" What did the sadist say to the...

    Living with Canadian Citizen abroad - Definition of accompanying

    You've jumped into a thread with different facts than yours and I don't know your situation, except for the summary above. I don't think this addresses the question of whether you ever actually resided in Canada, which *might* be important, so I'm not going to guess.

    PR Renewal Question: Residency obligation + counting initial 'soft landing' days

    I am confused what you are saying all above, I'd drop the concept of 'windows.' There are no windows. There are only five-year periods, rolling, meaning on any day looking backward five years (this is not the way often described here so bear with me). Ignore the rest. This is how the formula...

    Changing address after eCoPR

    Six weeks - per what the agent said - is ~Dec 6. That is more like the timeline I am referring to. Keep in mind if you apply under the 'lost' process, I assume they cancel the one (that they said they sent out). That is: if you start that process and it shows up the next day, do not assume it...

    Changing address after eCoPR

    No. You can also see in various threads here that sometimes when IRCC says something 'has been mailed', that does not mean 'handed to Canada Post.' It can just mean approved for printing and mailing.

    Changing address after eCoPR

    Are you still residing at the address that IRCC has on file? Because that's what this thread is about. As far as I know, IRCC does not send out PR cards using tracking number, and I don't have any more info. Personally I would wait a couple more weeks before starting the course of applying...

    Date format to use on the back of photo?

    If one uses yyyy-mm-dd, there is no space for confusion, mm always follows yyyy - there are literally no jurisdictions or customs anywhere in the world that use yyyy-dd-mm.

    Changing address after eCoPR

    I do not know when you applied or heard it was being sent or anything. Up to you of course.

    Changing address after eCoPR

    For now, wait. Keep checking at old address if at all possible.

    Date format to use on the back of photo?

    My suggestion is to use yyyy-mm-dd - no way that can be confused. (This is also 'official' Canadian format - although hélas this does not mean that its use is consistent and universal throughout Canada, quite the opposite in fact, even with federal govt - but it does have the advantage that it's...

    Procedural Fairness Letter - Indicating criminal charges that doesn't exist?

    I don't have much to suggest apart from get a lawyer, but some suggestions: -order updated (new) police certificates for yourself immediately, for every country that you can think of as an issue (obviously France, another if you have relevant). -Is there a way to get an EU-wide search done? Idk...

    Unemployed - Zero income NOA for residency proof

    I agree. Sure, write to IRCC or your MP or whomever. Unfortunately I think IRCC doesn't mind having these ambiguous and unclear instructions - either because it's too much work (overcoming a committee consensus for example), or they prefer it as 'constructive ambiguity' (that way it's always...

    Changing address after eCoPR

    -Unfortunately IRCC seems just plain bad at updating addresses (I guess different internal databases or something). [TBF it's not just IRCC - I've lived in my place for 4+ years and previous residents still get mail here - from their current employer, a large hospital.] So do check at old...

    Residency obligations for PR renewal

    Yes. There are lots of things in the world that should be better. Like the search function here so people wouldn't have to re-hash the same discussions over and over.

    Spousal sponsorship

    When you submit to the VFS/visa application centre, won't be a problem, they'll just use the new passport. People get new passports all the time. In my opinion, you do NOT need to go through the webform update stage - this is overkill and not needed.

    Spousal sponsorship from Germany

    Suggest applying appr. 12 months before you would like to move. First apply with basic info about your plans - but then keep preparing, visit Canada with spouse, look for work - collect docs to update IRCC about plans. IRCC increasingly asks for updates - if you've done work to continue to...

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    I do not know, and yours does not sound like a 'typical' case.

    Urgent help needed

    Yes, you can have it sent, no issue with Canadian immigration. I can't help you with courier. Note that some countries don't 'like' official documents through mail/courier (and the PR card has an RFID chip). You can ask the courier companies - or if you know anyone travelling to India, they...

    Do I need to notarize a section of a foreign legal document in order to submit it to IRCC?

    I understand nothing of the context, but would focus on providing them the pages that are most relevant and perhaps a few other pages like cover, intro, table of contents to situate it. But repeat my point: whatever point you are making here, I think you need a lawyer to do it.
