    GCMS - RC-8090

    Not to be a non-downer, but RC-8090 seems just to refer to the Sydney processing centre - where I believe every single citizenship app is also referred to. So as far as I can tell, having RC-8090 listed as one of the offices means ... precisely nothing. Fast files will see it, so will slow ones...

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    I realize now I wrote this entire screed only in the context of a spouse, but equally true for children - just so that all realize it does apply to anyone who should have been disclosed (and checked) as an immediate family member.

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    I don't know how much it's required for the officer to ask, TBH. In my experience (limited!), they do. I actually am a tiny bit sympathetic to those who maybe miss what the officer says on this - it is a classic environment where one can be a bit overwhelmed, often it may not be native...

    Who would like to explain the "at the time of that application"117(9)(D)? Does it include "the first time landing"

    You did indeed get a bit lucky, in the sense that you actually listened to what the officer said. Many don't seem to, nor read the information sent to them. This is NOT, however, one of those "well it was hidden in the fine print" things. It's reasonably clear. It's repeated multiple times, in...

    Accidentally put web form to withdraw spousal sponsorship application

    As the childish one who started this thread ( https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/%E2%80%A6.876833/ ), collected info from others, and then deleted all your posts afterwards, I should think it's not worth anyone spending their time assisting you any more.

    OP has gone through and wiped all their posts. Clearly seized with an adult-style acceptance of responsibility, all of a sudden.

    YVR Landing as PR without meeting Residency Obligation 730 days

    I got lost in that sentence somewhere. At any rate:I have no opinion / no info on the likelihood or differences between flying or land entry for the PR-with-valid-PR-card (out of compliance) case at all. I could speculate on reasons why it might be different, but I don't think that's very...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Are your spouse's LPP (all three, including prohibitions) cleared? If prohibitions are not cleared, then I don't think you can say it's not stuck in security. The exact split between background and prohibitions is not entirely clear to me, but I'm quite certain that at least some of the...

    TRAVELING WITH THE COPR AND IMMIGRANT VISA ON THE PASSPORT

    -If the airlines say it's okay, then getting the visa to remain in the international part of airport is not needed. France's main airports are quite good at this. I suspect even getting the visa will be a problem once they understand. But it's up to you. -Technically you do NOT need to have a...

    French citizens considering Canada – question about Québec vs federal immigration

    It can be highly specific to circumstances and specific programs, so don't want to generalize too much. But in case you describe above, once you get the federal PR, you will have the right to live anywhere in Canada, i.e. do not need to be selected by Quebec to remain in Canada. As I alluded...

    French citizens considering Canada – question about Québec vs federal immigration

    I'm not an expert on this but I think there are some potential issues which need to be looked at carefully, i.e. can cause some problems - albeit temporary usually - with Quebec. That said, you're right in the main that at minimum, settling/trying in some other province for some relatively...

    Spousal outland Sponsorship

    Just tell the truth and you should be fine. Enter it however works in the form, and then you'll have a small space for relationship history - clarify any points that didn't fit in form properly (i.e. start of relationship vs first meeting in person). If you two did not reside together for more...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    The chances of them being against you having your infant with you are approximately zero. They'll probably be pleased When you get your photo/aoth chance, ask the citizenship judge to hold your baby, they'll be chuffed.

    Spousal sponsorship

    I suggest simply reading the instructions and looking at the form. These are routinely granted to those visiting spouses, esp when spousal spnosorship apps are in progress. By 'routinely' I mean they do not make this difficult nor impose particularly high bars for those already in the country...

    Spousal sponsorship

    I think it would be easier to just apply to extend your stay. I'm not sure it's strictly necessary, but rather than worry about whether the implied status is sufficient, etc., just apply (routinely granted I understand for those with spousal apps) and be certain you are not out of status...

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    If you did not meet the physical presence requirement, you are not eligible for citizenship. It's not a 'technical' requirement, it's statutory - as I understand it. And the statement from the GCMS notes is: "Does not appear to meet the physical presence requirement. Client previously advised...

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    You may need to simply consider whether your attempt to get citizenship via this route is going to work at all, and whether any steps needed to do so are things you are willing to do.
