I am a Canadian citizen born to a Canadian parent outside of Canada ( got my citizenship through my father)
Is my child a Canadian who is born outside Canada ?
If not , how to make him a Canadian ?
How long will it take if I am in Canada ? Outside Canada ?

Hey all,

I moved to Canada as a federal skilled worker 2 years ago and currently have the Canadian PR. I have lived in Montreal for more than a year. Most of my friends, who immigrate to Quebec with a Certificate du Selection du Quebec (CSQ), told me there are lots of beneifts with a CSQ.

Therefore, I am wondering if it is possible for me to get a CSQ as a Canadian PR already? and How?

Many thanks..

Hi Settlement.org team,

I applied in Canada for permanent residency through spousal sponsorship. My application reached Mississauga on November 8, 2016, and processing officially began November 29, 2016.

I applied for an open work permit at the same time; I put the application in the same envelope. As I understand it, through 2015 and 2016 there was a pilot program in place that allowed spouses to apply for their open work permits concurrently with their PR status so that they can work while their PR application is processed.

I understand that my PR wait time will be 26 months, according to the processing times available through the CIC website. However, I would really, really like to know how long it will take for me to get a work permit. In these few months, my status (that I've been checking online) has not changed.

I searched this forum for similar requests, and found that the forum Moderator typically tells these posters to call the IRCC call center to inquire about their specific case. However, my inquiry would not fit any of the requirements listed on the IRCC website for what merits a call to the call center.

Is there any other information available about how long open work permit applications take to process when they were submitted with PR applications from within Canada?

Thank you very much for your time and help. Looking forward to your reply.

Hi
My mother came Canada in 2012 on PR and left after 6 months. Now she came back this month but her PR is expiring in May 2017.

Can she stay after May 2017 or she has to leave Canada.

She hasn't stayed 2 years in 5 years so I don't know she can apply for renewal.

If she don't apply for renewal, will her status after May 2017 be illegal?

Appreciate your help.

Thanks

I have a full time job but unfortunately I got layoff last week. If I apply for Employment Insurance (EI) and i'm planning to sponsor my husband back home, does it will affect my sponsorship? I'm planning to send my application for sponsorship this month. I'm scared that if I apply for sponsorship and I'm under EI maybe the government will refuse my sponsorship.
Please I need answer and help. Hoping you have any Idea. Thank you

Thanks
Can she go outside Canada and come back before 2019.

Thanks for the response.

I came via Express Entry via CEC. No PNP program. I am looking for IT jobs (NOC 2173).

-->So with the above info can I confirm that although my COPR document contains Vancouver as destination city, I can land anywhere in Canada including Quebec? Or do I need land in Toronto , complete the process and then move to Quebec PLease confirm

Hello,

1. Don't try "landing" in Quebec, without a CSQ you could be refused. Don't give a Quebec address for your PR card either.
2. You can "land" where ever else you want and then move to Quebec. You may find that you are ineligible for some benefits given to new emigrants to Quebec though.

I am looking for some information regarding sponsoring my daughter her husband and children . Any information would be great

Hello there,

Thank you for sharing your question with us.

The following information comes directly from the IRCC article entitled "Can I leave and come back to Canada if I have a work permit?"

Generally, yes. To return to Canada to work, you will need a:

• a valid passport or travel document;
  
• a valid work permit if you are returning to work in Canada;
  
• a valid visitor visa, if you are a citizen of a visa-required country. You must re-apply for a temporary resident visa (visitor visa) if:
  
• your visa has expired; or
  
• your visa was only valid for a single entry to Canada.
  
• an Electronic Travel Authorization (eTA) if you are a citizen of a visa-exempt country and plan to return to Canada by air. You will not be able to board your flight without one.
  
• If you received an initial study permit before August 1, 2015, you will need to apply for an eTA.
  
• If you received an initial study permit on or after August 1, 2015, you will automatically be issued an eTA along with your permit.
  
• When you renew your work permit, an eTA is not automatically renewed or issued. You may need to apply for one separately. See Extend your work permit.
  

A border officer will have some questions for you when you arrive back in Canada. If the officer believes there is reason to refuse your re-entry, you will not be able to re-enter Canada.

As their website suggests, you need to consider when your work permit was issued before considering applying for an eTA.


If you have any questions please contact the IRCC Call Centre line directly at 1-888-242-2100.

I'm a US citizen and married my cdn husband in Canada in 1989. We started the application for PR Status not long after and before we heard anything from immigration we ended up moving back to the US and did not notify Canada immigration so were unaware if I was ever approved.

I have no documentation except a copy of a temporary Social Insurance card and I do have my passport from that time that references a file number. We are trying to come back to retire in Canada and have already purchased a house so we began the permanent residency application over from scratch. I received an email from immigration stating The records indicated I had previously entered Canada as a permanent residence and to apply to a PR travel document.

My problem is that I do not have my record of landing number to list on my application. I was wondering if it could be possible that since I have been with my husband (a Canadian Citizen) in the US for the last 28 years could it be possible that I would still have my PR status from that long ago? Should I just include a letter of explaination about why I do not have information about the 1st application?

If anyone can offer some information I would apprecite it. I plan on applying for the travel document and they also have my completed PR application which is being held until a determination is made about my previous status. I am a little concerned because we did not list this previous sponsorship on my new application because we never thought it went through and there was no intended deception.

Thank you for your time and sorry for the long post. Just wondered if anyone else had this same experience and what may have happened in their case! We are anxious to move to our new house and begin our life there! I love Canada!

Good morning,



We have submitted all requested docs to IRCC, including Medical and Police Clearance. Sponsorship has been approved. How long does it take to get the final request to come in for PR to be finalized?

Thanks in Advance

John

Good day

I am a Canadian citizen, and I married my husband in 2014 who is not a Canadian citizen. He got his PR card October 2015. However we had to move to the Caribbean because I am studying medicine at a university that is offshore, but accredited, and recognized by Canada. Approved by Canada for loans. Would his time with me here count towards his residency days?

Any help would be great.

Thanks.

PMM,

Thank for the reply, much appreciated. I should have posted more info about the application. We applied IRCC on July 29, 2015.

Thanks again,

John

Dear Team,

I have been recently approved for Permanent Residence via PnP Saskatchewan (Express Entry Skilled Worker Stream). My COPR have destination city as "Regina" as I have mentioned in my application of Permanent Residence. Can I land in Saskatoon as I have some potential interviews there.

Kindly advice

if CBSA have any issue on this as Saskatoon city is also in the same province from where I was nominated.
or I must have to land in the same city which is mentioned in COPR.
or I would land in any mis-interpretation issue.

Looking forward for your kind support.

Regards,
Hassam
