    Updating address with NDVO after spouse moves to Canada on visitor visa

    That would seem logical.

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    This is only my opinion, so you'll have to decide for yourself, but: if you are determined to wait until your partner can travel with you, and it's tenable (even if not fun) for you to wait it out another month or so (until a bit after your 12-month period), then I would apply as common law...

    Updating address with NDVO after spouse moves to Canada on visitor visa

    Submit a webform. It will be recorded in the system eventually, but IRCC won't notify you.

    non-routine applicants communication Threads

    I think you should consider mandamus, but order GCMS notes (IRCC and CBSA) first and also call IRCC and ask what situation. If you've already done these (recently), time to look for a mandamus lawyer. (If not recently, update) Citizenship file from Feb 2022 - good candidate for mandamus...

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    I'd suggest a short letter of explanation that this is why you have not been able to be married. Given these circumstances, and well explained (as above), I doubt you will have any troubles with the examination by IRCC of your common law evidence. (I.e. the inferences I suggested are possible...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Webform replies can take ages. I don't know answer to your other q's. Follow in the month of your application (and maybe one or two back/one forward and/or post questions there, as that's where others at your stage will be facing the same issues.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Follow in the thread marked October 2025 - that will give you an idea of what's happening to others. Keep in mind they don't all proceed at same pace but rough idea.

    Workaround for Guarantor and references for Canadian Passport

    I want to make a slightly different point in addition to this: in my experience, people are often not only willing to help, but happy to, and honoured to be asked. When you walk along the street and someone drops something, doesn't it feel good to assist them, and to be thanked for it? Quite a...

    Workaround for Guarantor and references for Canadian Passport

    You made that argument. If you refer to what I wrote, I largely agreed with that. There's no need to include unrelated claims and exaggerations. I repeat my point, in response to those exaggerations, that the requirement is really NOT that hard to comply with - save for exceptional personal...

    Workaround for Guarantor and references for Canadian Passport

    Not really. This is not the USA. I wish they would just change the name from 'guarantor.' You need to read the actual text of what the guarantor is 'guaranteeing.' They're really only saying that they've known you for two years, and that AS FAR AS THEY ARE AWARE, you are who you say you are...

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    That's a fair comment and I should have phrased rather differently (although perhaps my point was not 'absurd', it definitely overstated/made inferences that weren't / arent' clear based on what little is known of circumstances). So here's a rephrasing: depending on circumstances, IRCC may...

    Outland Common Law Partner Sponsorship

    I'd add, strongly recommend not just 12 months but some extra, I'd say at least a month more - and that's assuming the documents and other proofs are strong and in order. IRCC absolutely will start counting from the day that they feel the documents are well evidenced. (And lease from a relative...

    need help with pr card renewal

    The three years of NOA should be enough on their own. If you wish to provide a bank statement from a period when you were in Canada, esp more recent (even for recent months), won't hurt. Don't provide dozens of bank statements - one or two.

    RO not met, first five years

    While no-one can predict with certainty, there is enough experience seen on these boards that your chances of having your PR status revoked with only being 9-10 days short are quite low. It's quite possible you'll just be waved through with no further questions. (That doesn't mean future...

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

    If that's the case, and is in fact just waiting, then no further refinement to the response is needed.

    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    We had an interview, took less than ten minutes, physical presence was completed a few days later. The background and prohibitions are still stuck (I believe just security checks, but for reasons that make some sense). In other words: the physical presence was not really an issue, and the...

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

    You continue to overthink and dawdle. For those with RC-1 code PRTD who apply for PR card upon return, PROBABLY not an issue to apply right away for the PR card /as long as they remain in Canada/. It may take a while, though. What you keep getting warned about here is you have repeatedly...

    Inland Primary applicant switching job

    Unless your PR status/application somehow requires you to remain with the same employer (not a normal thing as far as I'm aware), then go ahead, no issues.

    New requirement to disclose travel history from birth ??

    This question of ETA/ESTAs/e-Visas and the like is why I think this 'visa issued' approach is bunk - they could absolutely be treated either way and the gradations between them no longer have the meaning they used to. Visitor status is OF COURSE received any time one is admitted to a country...
