These days, application submitted in the months of June are getting active response. Some application got finalized early than expected. Some are extremely delayed due to covid-19.

You can have both options of visitor record application and work permit application. You need to apply on the basis of your study permit documents not the co-op work permit. Co-op work permit has a primary objective to do work related to your study course work. For your spouse, the proof of family member in Canada is linked to your study permit.
-
You need to wait until your application of work permit gets approval to enter Canada. You have applied outside Canada which makes you ineligible to work in Canada until you get a work permit issued at port of entry.
-
You can not apply for study permit extension from outside Canada. If your studies are online it is fine that you can study while you stay outside Canada. As you mentioned you study has been extended and you will require extension of study permit as well. For that, you need to apply for study permit application from outside Canada like initial application which will be processed at a visa office outside Canada. It would be better if you enter Canada before the expiry of your study permit and visa and apply extension from within Canada. Biometrics are exempted in Canada for temporary applications while visa office outside still require biometrics to process the application.

‘A clear and legible copy of biological page was not provided’, can have many reasons. It could be that:
You have not provided a unclear copy of passport pages
or you have not provided all the pages who have biological information
or you may have missed some pages of the passport
or you may have provided some pages clear and some pages unclear
you can find the detailed reason of refusal in the GCMS notes by the officer. You can try again by uploading a clear copy of all pages of passport in a one scanned pdf file.

A letter of employment which is signed electronically by the employer works equally fine as originally signed letter of employment. You can use this letter for your CEC application.
-
There is no problem with studying in a different location than that mentioned on your study permit. You can study online from anywhere in Canada. As for working part time, the only restrictions are that you can work only 20 hours off-campus. The employer listed on your co-op work permit is only for the course work of your program of study. The co-op work permit has nothing to do with part-time work during studies.
-
No. Your husband cannot sponsor you without a marriage certificate. You need to apply for the official marriage certificate from the province in which you got married. You can apply online or via mail. Online is faster than mail service.
-
No. It is not mandatory to change or add spouse name on Indian passport while applying for spousal sponsorship application. It is totally fine if you have single name on your passport. You can provide IRCC with alternative documents to prove your marital relationship. You can submit:
Letters, printed text messages, emails, social media conversations, other documents proof of contact
Proof of visits to each other, airline tickets, passport pages, boarding pass
Proof of joint property, bank account, Joint utility accounts, life insurance, vehicle insurance
Copies of government issued documents showing same residential information
Other jointly held accounts such as phone bills, credit card statements, tax forms etc.
For further information read checklist IMM 5533 on IRCC website.

Hello Mandeep
As per CRS scores mentioned by you that is 459, Your Fiance should make an express entry profile. The current CRS score cut off for Canadian Experience Class was 454. There will be next draw in coming days which can be around 454-460. If she has an active express entry profile, she can have chance to receive an Invitation to Apply.
1. Yes. We can help her for Canadian Experience Class application.
2. If her mother already has a valid visitor visa for Canada. She needs to have a written authorization for travelling to Canada by IRCC. This is totally based on the purpose of visit. You can plan your wedding in April 2021 and call her mother to be a part of it as an immediate family member. You can still go for the civil marriage first and religious marriage later on if there is an issue of status in Canada for Arshpreet. Otherwise, Arshpreet can still go for her own application under CEC class. If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

You need to present proof of funds in such a manner that they are available to the applicant directly for his use for the purpose of study. It should not be in somebody else’s bank account and that person is just saying he will give access to money. Proof of funds should be well documented with affidavit of financial support or deed of money gift to applicant. Applicant can transfer that money to his or her own account so he can have access to that money. This can be supported with showing transfer of money from father’s account to daughter’s account. Along with this, also provide proof of funds by the applicant herself and her husband which will demonstrate scope of future settlement.
-
Your parents are allowed to travel to Canada. You can see the official guidelines given by IRCC below:
If the COPR and PRV were issued on or before March 18, 2020 but are now expired, the applicant is exempt from the travel restrictions. The applicant can travel to Canada for non-discretionary reasons with the COPR and PRV in order to settle and live in Canada as a permanent resident and must have an acceptable plan to quarantine for 14 days in Canada.
You need to email IRCC with expired COPR They will asked some additional information to confirm the travel requirements and then you can book airline ticket for your parents.
-
You have already reported changes in your marital status to IRCC. Therefore, you have received a letter to provide information about your spouse. You will have to fill out the requested immigration forms for your husband and submit birth certificate, passport, identity documents, educational documents, and police clearance certificate for him. After this your spouse will be assessed for his eligibility and background check. He will be requested to undergo biometrics and medical exam. It will add on additional processing time of about 8-9 months to your application. You need to wait until processing of your spouse’s application completes. You and your spouse will get passport request together again.
-
These delays are because of Covid-19. You have only one option to wait until you received any letter or update on your application. Once you receive application number, you can immediately update the pregnancy of your wife to IRCC. You can attached doctor’s letter, ultrasound report as proof of pregnancy.
-
You need to mention about USA travel history, Even if you enter Canada on the same day. You can fill a new physical presence calculator, with every exit and entry to Canada. If you are not sure with which dates to put on, you can order your travel history dates from USA. Put approximate dates of entry to Canada. This way you can response the further information requested by IRCC.
-
I would like to answer this question in the exact manner as mentioned on the IRCC website.
As provided for in the CEC Document Checklist, principal applicants are requested to provide documentary evidence of their work experience in Canada through a combination of: a copy of their most recent work permit (unless they are work-permit exempt), copies of their most recent T4 tax information slips and Notice of Assessment (NOA) issued by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) or a sufficient combination of other supporting documentation, and employer letters of reference for all periods of qualifying work experience claimed in the application.
-
The official processing time as per IRCC website is approximately six months for dependent spouse work permit applications. But IRCC is taking more time due to pending biometrics requests for the applicant. The main cause of delay in processing is closure of biometric collection centres in and outside Canada. You have to wait patiently for further response by IRCC. The application submitted in March 2020 are still in process and deadlines to provide biometric are automatically extended.
-
Yes. The immediate family members of Canadian citizens and Permanent residents of Canada are exempted from any travel restrictions. They must need a quarantine plan.
The immediate family members of temporary residents of Canada need to obtain a written authorization from IRCC to enter Canada. As per IRCC,
‘To board your flight to Canada from a country other than the US, you must have written authorization from IRCC to fly to Canada. ‘
Your family members need to email at the address below:

No. You can not apply for divorce unless you have marriage certificate. It will asked by the court where you will apply for divorce. You need to apply for marriage certificate first. Once you receive marriage certificate, you will attach this with your divorce application to the court.
-
There is an update for biometrics on In Canada PR applicants. As per IRCC:
‘Service Canada Centres are gradually resuming biometrics collection services for permanent residence applicants who have received a biometric instruction letter (BIL).
Service Canada officers will call you at the telephone number you provided in your application to schedule your biometrics appointment. There is no additional fee to pay, and you don’t need a new BIL. Don’t go to a Service Canada Centre unless a Service Canada Officer calls you and schedules an appointment for you. ‘
You would need to wait for Service Canada call and act as per their instructions.
-
This situation can be dealt in different ways. First of all, this is not related to IRCC, instead it is a matter of Employment and Social Development Canada. You and your employer both need to obey the terms and conditions outlines in the employment contract you must have signed at the time of LMIA. As a temporary worker, your employment contract should clearly define your: mandatory employer-paid benefits, job duties, hours of work, wages, holiday and sick leave entitlements, and termination and resignation terms. If you think your employer is treating you unfairly, you can call or write to the nearest provincial or territorial labour standards office for help.
Second way, you can notify IRCC about non compliance of your employer but this will result in negative impact on your own application. Upon investigation of case management system, your employer or you can be found ineligible for LMIA. However, under these conditions, you can still change your employer by getting new LMIA from another employer or apply open work permit.
-
Yes. A PGWP holder can work as a caregiver and use that work experience in his or her permanent resident application. No, there is no need to apply for any employer-specific work permit as open work permit allows you to work with any employer. For new pilots, they need have a caregiver eligible NOC level job offer which is LMIA exempted. A employment contract and offer is required when you starting work as a caregiver under pilots. Also, you need to go through mandatory medical examination as a requirement to work as a caregiver.
-
In citizenship grant applications, if the minor meets all the requirements for citizenship, the final requirement is to take the oath of citizenship to become a Canadian citizen. As per IRCC, Minors aged 14 or over will receive a Notice to Appear with the location and time to attend a citizenship ceremony and take the oath of citizenship before a citizenship judge or presiding official. Once the oath is taken, you will receive the minor’s certificate of Canadian citizenship.
Minors under 14 years of age are not required to take the oath of citizenship at a ceremony. However, minors are welcome to attend a citizenship ceremony. If you would like them to attend a ceremony, please check “yes” box in Question 11 on the application. If your child does not attend the oath ceremony, the certificate of Canadian citizenship is mailed to the parent/guardian.
-
The part time studies you did, for the summer semesters due to your Co-op hours, is totally fine. It does not make you ineligible for post graduation work permit. The problem is the one winter semester in which you dropped voluntarily to become part time student. This winter semester was not the final semester, that would have made you ineligible for PGWP.
You have one option to apply for a new program of study and obtain PGWP on the basis of that new program, or to find work supported by LMIA. The PGWP is very clear on eligibility and accepts part time studies only in the very last semester of study.
-
No. You will not be facing any issues upon your entry to Canada as you have valid PR card. Once you are in Canada, you should meet the residency obligation of 730 days should be spent in Canada. If you meet the residency obligation, you can apply for renewal of your PR card.
-
Your cousin can update the application via webform with the details on his refusal. He can also withdraw the application and submit a corrected application.
-
You can not apply PR card renewal outside Canada but you can apply for PRTD outside Canada to make yourself eligible to get entry in Canada as a permanent resident. If the VAC is closed you can apply via email as per instructions given by IRCC. If you have a flight within 6 weeks of the application, you can mark the application as urgent. Below are the instruction given by IRCC:
‘If you’re outside Canada and your PR card is expired, you need to apply for a PRTD to return.
If your VAC is closed, submit your PRTD application by email.
To submit by email:
Download and follow the instruction guide to complete the application correctly.

-
Yes. You can change that information. These field will be coloured gray, and you will not be able to update them. (A red circle with a diagonal line will also appear when you mouse over the field.) This is because the information was brought forward from the first tool (Come to Canada) you completed. To update them, you will have to update them in the previous step. To do this:
From the “Express Entry Profile” page:
Click on the “Modify Family Information” button at the top of the page
Change the fields as needed.
Click the “Update Information” button to save any changes
-
You were a post-graduation work permit holder which allowed you to work with any employer because PGWP is an open work permit. Now, you applied for dependent spouse work permit which is also a open work permit. So, changing employers will not be an issue until your work permit is open type. You can work with any employer in Canada.
-
No. Your express entry profile will not be deleted. Once you received an ITA, an application of permanent residency will be automatically added to your cic account. You will have 90 days to submit your profile.
-
Yes. You meet the minimum work experience requirement for FSWP. Work experience should be:
Equal amount in part-time: 15 hours/week for 24 months = 1-year full time (1,560 hours)
Part-time work experience For part-time work, you can work more or less than 15 hours/week as long as it adds up to 1,560 hours.
You have accumulated enough hours to qualify for FSWP.
-
She can sponsor her husband to Canada because income is not a factor when it comes to spousal sponsorships. She can provide her plan for future to support her husband when he will be with her in Canada. She can make use of her savings as proof of funds for support of sponsorship application. The sponsor should not be on any kind of social assistance for a reason other than disability.
-
Yes. You need to put all the work you have performed in Canada. Even at the time, when you were a full-time student, the part-time work must be mentioned in the personal history and work history as well. In work experience, only the work performed while you are on work permit and worked at least 30 hours a week will be counted towards your Canadian Experience Class application.
-
In your sister’s whole situation, she is only eligible to extend her work permit if she has a LMIA approved job offer from a Canadian employer. Post-graduation work permits can not be extended. She needs to find a job in which her employer can support her work permit application by providing LMIA. She should have utilized the work permit time to earn Canadian skilled work experience to become eligible to apply for Canadian Experience Class.
-
You can make use of your log book to count number of hours you worked. Every long haul truck driver has his own record of logged hours they drive truck, in a digital or physical booklet. Apart from this, you can find this record with your employer as well.
In my opinion, a job verification / reference letter from your employer mentioning the number of hours and your log book record would be sufficient proof of a full-time work.
-
Your parents are not required to go for a medical examination to enter Canada on a super visa. They must have medical insurance for 365 days from the day they intend to enter Canada and that insurance must have medical expense coverage of up to $100,000. They have already medically examined themselves when they applied for a super visa application five years ago. If your parents apply for a visitor record application in Canada to extend their duration of stay then they will be asked to go for a medical examination in Canada.
-
There is no need to withdraw your post-graduation work permit application. You can update your highest level of education by submitting a IRCC web form request. Also, fill again a new application form and upload as an attachment with your IRCC web form.
-
The instructions were given clearly by IRCC prior to the opening of expression of interest system which were as follows:
– Don’t submit the expression of interest form more than once.
– Duplicate entry won’t increase your chances of being invited to apply.
– IRCC will remove any duplicate entries.
An Officer may use his/her discretionary powers that you have tried to misuse the system by submitting more than one expression of interest for the same persons to gain the more chances to be invited. The officer may ask further information from you and your parents which would delay your parents’s application. You should wait for the updates on the application and do not submit unnecessary web form requests to speed up the processing of the application.
-
These kind of significant errors can lead to refusal and even result in misrepresentation bans. You should correct the error prior to the examination of an application by an officer. To avoid the refusal, you should withdraw this application and fill again a new application with supporting documents. Also, you should submit a IRCC web form to inform this error and withdrawal of application.
-
In my opinion, there is no validity period of a notarized degree document. Notarization itself means that the original certificate has been sighted by the Notary Public and notary stamp confirms that the document is true certified copy of the original certificate.
-
Permanent residents of Canada who are living abroad can not sponsor from outside of Canada. If you are a Canadian citizen living outside Canada, you can sponsor your spouse, common-law-partner, conjugal partner, and dependent child. You must show that you’ll live in Canada when the sponsored person becomes a permanent resident. You have to show your intend and plan to live in Canada. A permanent resident has to be living in Canada to sponsor any member of family class.
-
Yes. He can apply for a permanent resident application for Canada. The US immigration record does not make him inadmissible to Canada but could make the decision of a temporary resident application difficult. Your cousin should be able to get a police clearance certificate from US as it is required as a supporting document for PR application. There will not be any problem in applying for PR application for Canada if you submit complete application with all supporting documents.
-
You can try contacting IRCC helpline number. They can provide you with a solution to this problem.
Call the IRCC Call Centre (1-888-242-2100), from within Canada only, Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm local time, except for statutory holidays).

The only option for your uncle is to apply for a proof of Canadian citizenship i.e. a citizenship certificate. He can apply this as a paper application. Upon receipt of his Canadian citizenship certificate, he can enter Canada as a citizen. Follow link given below:

Due to Covid-19 pandemic travel restrictions, non-essential travel is banned at most of the international airports. Canada is also restricted unnecessary travel of visitors at all the entry points to Canada. Being a helper in pre-natal and post-natal care, is not that essential purpose of travel. In my view, your mother should wait for a while and when restrictions are lifted, she should plan her visit.
-
You should not have submitted the second application when an application was already in process. This could be the reason behind the refusal of your first application. I would recommend you to take a professional immigration consultant’s help while applying for any application to IRCC. Sometimes temporary applications seem to be very simple but they can lead to unfavorable consequences upon doing carelessly. You should always consult a professional before giving it a so called ‘DIY’ (Do It Yourself) try. You should wait for the decision on this application now.
-
No. You can not be eligible for this new guidelines for health professionals who are refugee claimants. First of all, your husband’s claim is not accepted, making him not a refugee claimant anymore. Secondly, your permanent resident application under Canadian Experience Class is already in process. You can not submit another PR application at the same time.
This PR pathways has following eligibility criteria:
- Have claimed asylum before March 13, 2020.
- Have obtained a work permit after making an asylum claim
- Have worked in the health care sector, in health institutions
- Have worked for at least 120 hours between March 13, 2020 and August 14, 2020.
- Have worked as an orderly, a nurse, a nurse’s aide, a patient service associate, an assistant orderly or as a home support worker.
- Demonstrate 6 months of experience in the occupation before obtaining permanent residence. Applicants will have until August 31, 2021 to fulfill this requirement.
- Be admissible to Canada, especially in regards to criminality, security and health.
-
You must update your passport details in your CEC application. You can do it by submitting an IRCC web form and upload the new copy of your passport. Make sure you fill in all the details carefully in the web form. If you are applying from within Canada, there will be no passport request instead there will be a landing interview in Canada. If your application is processed at a visa office outside Canada, you should submit the new passport only to the VAC centre. In any case, you must inform IRCC immediately about the change(s) in your passport details, otherwise it could become a big trouble for you in the near future.
-
The answer to this question solely depends upon the assessment of CBSA officer at the port of entry. As per travel restrictions, your spouse is a member of immediate family and she can travel with you. You can explain your intention as a couple to live together in Canada and to spend more time after your marriage in India. Hopefully, there would not be any problem if you have sufficient documents to show your intent of travel to Canada.
-
It is recommended that you should apply for extension of a visitor record before 30 days of its expiry. But as per the processing times taken these days due to Covid-19, you can apply for a visitor record application three months before the expiry of it. You can apply your PGWP now and when you receive your work permit, your children’s visitor records can be extended. If any of your child has attained the study age, you should apply for their study permit application along with your post graduation work permit.
-
You can apply for an extension of your father’s stay in Canada before the granted entry expires. He may be granted a 1 year visitor record. The super visa can only be applied from outside of Canada and will result in a counterfoil that is affixed in the passport. It allows persons to board a plane and arrive at POE in Canada, where they have to prove that they meet temporary resident visa conditions. Once your father will return to his country, he can apply for a super visa in the future.
-
An age factor is considered a major factor by an officer. The age difference of 8 years (moreover, wife is older) can create a doubt in the mind of an officer that it is a marriage of convenience. Possibly, there will be an interview request by the officer to verify the genuineness of the marriage. You can only prevent a refusal by providing number of support documents and a well prepared interview by the applicant and the inviter. The wife is eligible to apply for her husband’s work permit when she is in Canada and studying on a full-time basis.
-
Job offer means you have an approved LMIA (HRDC) from your employer and he is willing to give you employment till one year of you become a permanent resident. If you were already working on a work permit which was LMIA based or employer’s name is mentioned on your work permit, then you can get 50 points for express entry. But simply being a job holder does not mean that you have a job offer. Job offer intends to support you for your PR.
-
Incompatibility of ability or disability would be a major concern of a case processing officer and a visa officer which can lead to refusal of the sponsorship application. As you have narrated the story of making a match of your daughter to a “NORMAL PERSON”, there will be a big “NO” to an application after the interview. You can think why a young man who is fit and healthy would marry a girl with disability in two of five main senses of human bodies. There must be however, clear, cogent evidence as to the genesis and development of the relationship. There would be problems which may not be able to overcome easily.
-
You can sponsor your husband because you do not receive any social assistance other than for reason of disability. ODSP is social assistance based on disability. You still have to sign the undertaking to provide the basic means to your husband. This obligation will kick in only when your husband becomes a Canadian permanent resident and will last for three years. You will be in default if your husband receives social assistance, even if for reason of a disability, during this period of three years.
The sponsorship related fees will not be covered by ODSP. You have to arrange that expense by your own. The fee for sponsorship would be approximately $1,135. Other expenses would be fess related to medical examination, fingerprints, and police clearance certificates etc. Moreover, If you will retain the services of a professional, there will be additional charges which vary from one service provider to another.
-
A child who is under 22 is still dependent on the parents, though technically he is not a minor anymore when (s)he is above the age of 18. Therefore, you should apply for an In-land study permit application. Make sure you provide:
– An official letter of acceptance to the post secondary institution
– Proof of funds to satisfy the requirement of study program
He is eligible to apply a study permit because he is a family member of a foreign national who has work permit or whose application is in process. He should have a valid visitor record at the time of applying for a study permit.
-
Yes. You can request for a reconsideration and a Judicial Review (JR) for your application. There is no restriction on the proof of funds provided by the in-laws family. Anyone can provide the funding for education of the applicant as long as the purpose of study is genuine. You should go for a better documentation of application and use some professional experts on this matter. They will include proper case law related to your scenario in their submissions. Another thing, You can ask your in-laws to provide an official affidavit of financial support along with proof of funds submitted. You should have access to the money which is shown as proof of funds. I hope this will result in a positive decision on your application or or your application will be decided by another officer if you will be successful in JR. Last but not least option will be submitting your application again with strong documents.
-
A child born outside Canada to a Canadian parent and meeting certain requirements is a Canadian citizen. However the child will not possess a birth certificate issued by a Canadian governmental authority and for proof of Canadian citizenship, the child will need to obtain a Canadian citizenship certificate.

-
No. He can not sponsor his wife. Proxy marriages are Recognized in Canada. If one or both parties are not physically present at the ceremony, their marriage won’t be recognized. There are some exemptions. But in your friend’s scenario, he can not sponsor his wife.

-
You can submit a web form to withdraw this application. Because this application will result in a a refusal as your brother is currently outside Canada. You should submit a new application which is for applying work permit from outside Canada. You can not just send new application in place of already submitted one, because these two application forms are totally different. Therefore, submit a totally new PGWP application with proper documentation. You can apply online by IRCC account instead a paper application as they take longer time.
-
No. You can not use these certifications to support your language proficiency. If you’re 18 to 54 years of age, you must submit proof that you can speak and listen at the Canadian Language Benchmarks (CLB) Level 4 or higher in English or French. Send a copy of proof that you completed or are attending a program with your application which can be your diploma, degree, or any educational certificates.

There is no guarantee that you will get study permit approved for sure, but these document will satisfy an officer that you were not able to study in the previous terms. Also, provide the current study documents to demonstrate that you are now full-time student in Canada and following all the rules and regulations. You need to satisfy an officer about your true intentions to study in Canada by providing proper explanation of your interruptions in study since you came to Canada.
-
As per my understanding of this question, the answer is there is no pause on the restoration period. Once status is lost, there are 90 days to apply for restoration application. If you will submit application within this period, your application will be processed and will take a bit longer than normal application. If your application gets refused then there will be no time left for restoration as 90 days are already over. There is very rare chance that you will get an option to apply restoration application again. To know if you are eligible to apply for restoration, it is usually mentioned in the refusal letter. I hope I have answered your question but if you will get any letter in the future, you can discuss again. Wish you good luck !
-
No. He can not work on implied status if he has applied for employer specific work permit. There is provision to work on implied status only for a Post-graduation work permit. He has to wait until he receives his work permit. He can only work if he has applied PGWP because Study permit comes with OWP which allow students to work part-time (on-campus or off-campus) with the condition of being full-time student. It is also only applicable when student applied PGWP before the expiry of their study permit.

There will be no effect on your express entry application if you express entry profile expires. Permanent application is a new application which comes automatically in your account upon receiving an ITA. There is no need to make any new profile because you have already got invitation and applying for permanent residency. Moreover, a new profile will have different number than the one mentioned on your ITA.
-
An officer can not stamp passport beyond the validity of it, it is a mistake happened on officer’s part. You can apply for visitor record application with a new passport and for proof of legal status you can use those stamps of entry. You can explain the situation in an additional letter.
-
In your situation, there could be two possible ways.
As you are already in Canada for more than six months, you must have applied for visitor record application. If yes, you do not need to apply for any application at the moment. If you are planning to travel, then you need to apply a new visa on new passport while re-entering Canada. You can not replace the same counterfoil on your old passport. You need to apply new visa from outside Canada. However, you can still extend your stay in Canada with new passport. While doing this, you can use photocopy of old visa and entry stamp as proof of status in Canada. If you are out of status, I would suggest you to go for restoration of your status as soon as possible and explain the circumstance in well manner.
I hope that you had reported your lost passport to the local police station around your area. Make sure you keep your passport safe in future to avoid these hard situations.

For B.H.M.S degree, you can get your education assessed by IQAS. The Bachelors degree generally compares to the completion of Bachelor’s degree with focus in homeopathic medicine. IQAS takes more time than WES. It is generally 35 weeks from the days IQAS received all your required documents.
For further information, you can read about ECA at following link:
-
You can use that public notice Of name change which was advertised in the newspaper in India in the tab where system ask for a name change Certificate. Because in India, this is the legal procedure to change names. A public notice in the newspaper can be recognized as a legal name change. You should scan the clipping of that newspaper advertisement and upload under name change certificate tan in express entry profile.
-
I would suggest that you Should decline this invitation to apply. In express entry profile, the place where they ask question for the relatives in Canada, you need to put the names of any family members who are permanent residents or citizen of Canada. Your brother is on study permit therefore you cannot get any CRS points for sibling in Canada. So if you proceed with this ITA without explaining about the fact that you were never aware about this mistake. You will get a letter of procedural fairness and you could be banned for misrepresentation to IRCC. If your scores are more than the cut off, you should decline this invitation to apply and submit your profile again with the correct information. Hopefully, you will get a new invitation to apply in the upcoming round and then you can proceed with submitting your application.
-
It is always advised that you should compare the CRS points at the time of invitation and the time you will complete your profile to submit the final application. If your points are less than the cut off of the round of invitation you are invited to, you should decline this invitation. If your points are less than before but they are still more than the cut off, you should continue with this invitation and explain the decrease of points in additional information. In your case, your CRS points are increased then the points at the time of invitation has received. You don’t need to worry about it because you have not changed any details in the profile. It could be a system glitch. You should submit your application with all the supporting documents. There is no need of any explanation about the increase of points unless you are providing all documents for the points you claimed at first place.
-
No. You just need to submit documents for the family member who is Canadian citizen or permanent residence. There is no need to submit documents for other family members. If you have any dependants who are living in Canada, then you are required to submit their proof of status documents.
-
While applying for permanent residency application, Principal applicant is responsible to maintain proof of funds or to prove exemption to fund requirement. If your spouse is accompanying with you, you can count money you have together in a joint account. You may be able to count money in an account under your spouse name only, but you must prove that you have access to the money. Only then it would be considered as a eligible proof of funds under your application.
-
Yes. You are right. You do not need permission by mother anymore. Once the child reaches the age of consent, permission of other parents is not required while sponsoring child for permanent resident application Canada. You can sponsor up to the age of 22, provided the child was examined on your PR application. As per your research, IMM 5604 is also no more applicable.
-
Yes. It is true that officer at the port of entry used to stamp the arrival dates on the passport of the permanent residents. These days officers stopped doing stamping on the passports instead they scan the passport. They used to enter information manually but now everything is scanned. Your arrival dates automatically get registered in the system. Now, on PR card renewals, you will get an additional sheet which will help you to keep record of your entries and exit from Canada. IRCC advise you to enter dates in that sheet while traveling so that you can keep record of dates which is required on renewal of PR card.
-
For applying EE/PNP, It would be a NO because he will not be eligible to apply as he has no status. Moreover, some work experience in Canada will not be counted and result in less CRS scores.
For spousal sponsorship, he can be sponsored if he has entered Canada legally and is not criminally inadmissible.
For study permit applications, he can apply but he will be refused. In this way, he will be telling CBSA where to get him and issue him deportation orders.
Whenever someone violates the Canadian Immigration Laws in the past should never expect to get a temporary status in Canada again. Yes, the only remedy is spousal sponsorships which may ask for marriage genuineness proofs. It should always work as long as the relationship is genuine. However, the very right way is to leave Canada immediately and save their money to re-established in home country and apply again after some years. This is not an easy option.
-
First of all, you need to report to the local police about this whole matter. File a complaint regarding your stolen PR card by your husband. Take proof of this report from the police station in India. After that, you should apply for PRTD to travel to Canada. PRTD is permanent resident travel document, which enables you to enter Canada in case of expired or no PR card card. Once you enter Canada, you can report of police of your local area in Canada as well. You can then apply for a new PR card with all your other Canadian IDs and proof of stolen report. You can further read about how to apply for renewal of PR card at following link:
-
If you already did Webform, try to contact IRCC call centre agent, and just be patient keep on trying to dial number until you will be put in the queue. You can also try web form again after 15 days and request to obtain the original study permit sent along with amendment application. There is nothing much you can do about it at the moment.
-
It is totally opposite of what you’ve proposed.
Travel to country of nationality/residence does not need to be reported. All
the other travel to any countries is required to declare in travel history. In my opinion, you have to list your detailed travel history for your express entry profile even if it is one day. -
Maternity leave does not need to be communicated to IRCC at all, however leave will not be counted in PR application work requirements. You should not count maternity leave months towards your work experience in Canada. Extending your maternity leave will not effect your work permit.
-
If you were issued work or study permits while your refugee claim and/or Pre-Removal Risk Assessment (PRRA) was being assessed, these documents did not grant you Temporary Resident status. You cannot use this period of time in your physical presence calculation.
If you are claiming time as a Protected Person, the only time allowed is the time from when you received a positive Protected Person decision on your refugee claim or PRRA application until the day before you became a permanent resident. Therefore, in your case the date is November 15.
-

-
As per the latest guidelines, IRCC has changed the processing time for PR card renewals from 287 days to 138 days on July 28, 2020. Generally, I can say PR card renewals will take approximately 4 months to process.
-
You need to pay for the courier service for BLS Brampton. There will be no update on online status unless they dispatch the PCC document. I would say that you should pay the amount of $30 for Purolator courier service at BLS online payment portal. These days pickup services at BLS are suspended. Therefore, you need to pay and get your PCC in mail. The approximate time for PCC processing is six weeks.
-
No. It is not mandatory to change or add spouse name on Indian passport while applying for spousal sponsorship application. You can provide IRCC with alternative documents to prove your marital relationship. You can submit:
Letters, printed text messages, emails, social media conversations, other documents proof of contact
Proof of visits to each other, airline tickets, passport pages, boarding pass
Proof of joint property, bank account, Joint utility accounts, life insurance, vehicle insurance
Copies of government issued documents showing same residential information
Other jointly held accounts such as phone bills, credit card statements, tax forms etc.
For further information read checklist IMM 5533 on IRCC website.
-
There is no age limit to study in Canada. Success of approval of a study permit application depends on the eligibility factors of the applicant, college requirements, and logical planning of the application. The application should be justifying all the concerns of the officer. If she gets study from Canada and then one year of work experience, she will definitely be benefitted from it.
-
You can not apply for super visa from inside Canada. Your parents need to apply from visa office outside Canada. They can extend their stay in Canada for more time but they can not get it changed to super visa. You can also extend their stay in Canada for one year by providing the documents such as LICO income for inviters and medical insurance policy for parents for one year. This will give them equal time to spend in Canada as parents with super visa get normally.
-
Your brother should get 15 points for his completed full-time studies in Canada. Can you please check the questions again? The question “Is English education was 50% or more part of the study?” If you choose yes to that question, your study will not be qualifying for 15 points. You need to choose no to that question. That will allow Canadian study to be taken into account and 15 points will be grated to him.
-
Yes. You can withdraw your spouse from PR application. You are obliged to include your wife in your application. If you are legally separating from you wife, you have to provide the documents showing your separation. This way you can remove your wife from your application. Your daughter is already 20 years old which is above the age of consent. Therefore, sponsoring her is not bind to mother’s willingness. As long as your daughter meets the eligibility requirements, you can continue her in your application as a dependent child.
Your second question about getting married is totally different from this scenario. I can only say that you are allowed to get married upon your divorce becomes effective.
-
You will use name which is mentioned on your passport. If there is no name in surname column of passport, then put your full given name in the Family name section of express entry profile.
