    September 2024 Citizenship Applications

    Basic bureaucratic / administrative thing that if you save the officer some work, and providing it gives them an update upon which to act, and the combination makes it easy to do and saves them some time (esp at a time when they want to clear the inbox eg certain times of year or when boss is...

    Spouse H1B holder residing in US, indian passport but has valid Canadian visitor visa

    1. Apply outland unless she is in Canada and expects to remain throughout the process. She can apply for OWP as an outland applicant, but must do so from within Canada. 2. You've discssed a lot the disadvantages - go with what you have, this is not an arranged marriage it seems, you visited each...

    A few months short of Residency Obligation in first 5 years. YVR or YYC less likely Sec 44?

    You are right that there are trade-offs, I can't say for certain which is better. That said, each individual has PR status on their own - so (for example) if one of you arrived first and got through, hey, arguments are now better. If that person gets a 44(1), that doesn't - directly nor as far...

    A few months short of Residency Obligation in first 5 years. YVR or YYC less likely Sec 44?

    This is another example where I don't think Dingus-AI is summarizing what you think - it sounds like general advice intended for those arriving for a visit, or in some cases at border, some other standouts. It just sees a high probability (correlation) of words about CBSA/airport/visa etc and...

    How fast can I get a passport?

    As long as you're aware of the issues and have a backup plan. Good luck. Let others know how it works out.

    A few months short of Residency Obligation in first 5 years. YVR or YYC less likely Sec 44?

    Only you can decide this as I understand it's complicated and means taking pretty big steps. Hence IMO only: -reality is very few that are only about 3 months out of compliance have serious examinations that lead to the 44(1) steps. -of the documentation and 'narrative' you have about lenience...

    Finding out the date I became a citizen.

    Do you have your certificate of citizenship ? It is written on that (at least in the current format).

    Canadian Citizenship Online Application - IDs

    I don't think it makes a whit of difference, but personally I'd go with the age of majority card.

    Do you need to go through Canada's immigration or cutoms if you merely transit through Canada's airport?

    I'd really suggest looking at the government's website - there are several different factors that play together, including whether you hold a current US visa, the passport you're travelling under, etc. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/transit.html

    Previous Canadian Work Permit on Spousal PR Application?

    I have no opinion really as to whether necessary, but for the extra 1 min work I personally would attach.

    PR CARD RENEWAL 2025 August

    Your passport to confirm identity plus expired PR card to allow border officer to determine that you are a PR, basically. Other variations possible but if you have those two, that's the most straightforward. (With your UCI# - which is on the card but also elsewhere - they will look up your file...

    Previous Canadian Work Permit on Spousal PR Application?

    I'd follow the instructions for not residing in Canada, and then include a letter of explanation saying you had the open work permit but in the end did not use it/work in Canada.

    Canadian Citizenship Online Application - IDs

    Yes, the ontario photo card is the exact equivalent of the driver's licence or age of majority card (which no longer exists, it was replaced by the ontario photo card.) As you read and asked about in the other thread. Same answer here as there.

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    I understood what your concern is - and it's understandable. Side question - I assume most of your crossings were by land? At any rate I overall draw two conclusions: -their records are not perfect and they know it. -since your records coincide with theirs EXCEPT for missing records on their...

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    So: -We did application for my spouse with a lot of travel (entry/exit to USA mostly, all by plane). We had only one missing exit. However, because we applied with a relatively small 'buffer' over the 1095 days (I forget exactly, perhaps only ten days extra or so). -Technically this one...

    PR, soft landing

    Exactly how they handle in ETA countries (assuming your country of passport and current residence are the same) seems a tiny bit inconsistent and so I'm not entirely clear on that. They may ask you to send something, or they may just send the COPR on to you. At any rate, nothing to worry about...
