    Moving three years later of Soft landing

    I think you misunderstood - OP said it will be around 1022 days since they became PR - that is, less than 1095 days OUTSIDE Canada, meaning the OP is still compliant with the residency obligation.

    Canadian Citizens moving back to Canada with US born child

    Good point, it would be better to apply for the citizenship certificate as soon as possible. I recall hearing the experience (of a poster here?) that one province granted coverage under the provincial plan on basis of the child's (presumed) citizenship as child of Canadian parents (their...

    Ex-Refugee Visiting Home Country After Getting Citizenship

    My comment about the extent to which 'automatic' applies refers to the process behind stripping (cessation) of protected person status itself as not being automatic, there is an investigation and determination which must be made (and which is subject to some forms of appeal). This process is not...

    PR Renewal Minor Outside Canada

    I would still only do it when the children are in Canada. Since they meet the RO, they shouldn't have an issue with the PRTD, just apply enough in advance.

    Valid COPR, PR card issued errors twice

    That does make things more clear. And helps me understand - because an outright error (like first name John instead of Robert) could be an issue, but a missing middle name is going to be looked at differently than an outright error. If you mean all that is missing is the second given name...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I mean the submission. At any rate, 10-12 day absences shouldn't be an issue. Some claim staying in Canada until AOR avoids issues, I'm not convinced. But again, short absences like <2 weeks not an issue.

    Spousal sponsorship

    As the sponsor, recommend you apply from within Canada if you reside in Canada. -if you're a PR, you MUST apply from within Canada. -if you're a citizen, they may end up asking for additional stuff (intent to return to Canada) if applying from abroad. (Applying from outside although resident in...

    PRTD send passport within Canada

    Don't send it before you leave Canada. Send it from someplace where you will be abroad for a few weeks. That's the way it's intended to be done, and it works.

    PRTD send passport within Canada

    Other people are different people than you and do not have access to the information in your mind. We do not know where you will be nor where you applied from. Submit to a VAC in some place where you will be for a few weeks. You don't have to submit in Brazil.

    PR Card Renewal Help

    Haven't heard of specifics on this so as a first step, I'd try submitting and see if the system lets you do this.

    PR Renewal Minor Outside Canada

    Are they in compliance with the residency obligation? My understanding is that they need to apply from within Canada for the PR card renewal. So the 'standard' suggestion would be to apply for a PRTD for them several months in advance of their expected return. (Issue being only you want a PRTD...

    Ex-Refugee Visiting Home Country After Getting Citizenship

    No, my understanding is that just going back to country of origin does not constitute any of these. Of course, if they can demonstrate that one of these is the case, they might pursue - but this would require separate evidence. (And again my undrestanding is direct evidence of false...

    Ex-Refugee Visiting Home Country After Getting Citizenship

    The risk for (former) refugees of travelling to home country from Canadian immigration perspective ONLY applies before they become a citizen. Now that you are a citizen, you cannot lose that citizenship (by means of what is called rescission) under that statute. In other words, you can freely...

    DUI and Immigration

    I'd echo this and statement I've seen many repeat - I think this is an area where lawyer involvement HIGHLY recommended. And ones who understand the immigration impacts of criminal law. Important here because the impact on one's residency status can be SO significant, and that the issue of what...

    PRTD send passport within Canada

    If you get the passport request, that is the final stage, basically. Time for this can vary but in most places, about two weeks (ie most of the time two weeks or less).
