Hello,
I am a permenant resident of Canada, but presently living outside of Canada.

What is the procedure for sponsoring my new born child while standing outside?

Where should I contact for the visa/entry permit?


Thank you

I applied for PRTD on 6th March'17 with Canada Visa Office


Request for my PRTD has been rejected on pretext that I did not meet my residency obligation in a set of 5 years immediately preceding my date of PRTD application i.e 6th Mar 2017. The five year period to determine my residency obligation has been taken from 7th March 2012- 6th March 2017 instead of 11th June 2010 to 15th July 2015.


1) Permanent Resident Card Validity: 11th June 2010 - 15th July 2015 (5 year period)


2) Stay in Canada (Toronto- Ontario): 11th June 2010- 29th June 2012 (748 days)

• 28 (1) A permanent resident must comply with a residency obligation with respect to every five-year period.
  

• (b) it is sufficient for a permanent resident to demonstrate at examination
  
  • (i) if they have been a permanent resident for less than five years, that they will be able to meet the residency obligation in respect of the five-year period immediately after they became a permanent resident;
    
  • (ii) if they have been a permanent resident for five years or more, that they have met the residency obligation in respect of the five-year period immediately before the examination; and
    
• (c) a determination by an officer that humanitarian and compassionate considerations relating to a permanent resident, taking into account the best interests of a child directly affected by the determination, justify the retention of permanent resident status overcomes any breach of the residency obligation prior to the determination.
  

I am applying to be sponsored by a Conjugal partner under the family class and I'm having some confusion with the Marital status. I know I am not in a common-law partnership or married, I also haven't previously been married or in a common-law partner. This leaves me with the options of either single or unkown. The entire reason for the conjugal application is to be sponsored by a genuine partner who you're unable to live with consecutively for a year and unable to currently marry so I find it weird to put single but am also very unsure about the unknown option as I can't find detailed information about it. It'd be great to get some help. Thanks.

I would like to sponsor my conjugal partner. I know we are not in a common-law relationship because we are unable to live together for one year due to one life being in Lebanon and another in Canada. We have both our parent's approval but the current issue is within Lebanon and spesificly our culture. It is looked down upon for an older women to take a younger man. We really wanted to setup a life together in Canada and prepare everything before marriage to avoid issues here, for the sake of her religious parents. Before applying I wanted to ensure that the given reason is eligable for the conjugal application or if the opposing reason for no marriage has to be strictly against law. Thank you.

Hi there,
I had completed 5 years of Canada stay but could not complete compulsory 730 days of residency to renew the card.I heard that if I deposit 100000 CAD $ in a Canadian bank and keep it there for 5 years then I can get my PR card renewed. Is it true? Kindly any advice on that. Thanks

Hello,

My Confirmation of Permanent Residence document has my last name with a special character "Ç" where as it appears as "C" in my PR card and all other provincial ID documents. What do you think I should write into citizenship application form?

Also my Confirmation of Permanent Residence document has my birth place as truncated as it is a long word.
Should I fill the citizenship application form with that truncated information or with the correct one?

Thank you.

Hello,
I asked the question here but also I called CIC three times and got different answers, so I am totally confused. Let me clarify my case:

In my COPR document, my place of birth is written as
"ABCD/EFGH"
which is truncated (not mistaken, just because of character limit last letter is missing) and normally it should be
"ABCD/EFGHI"
where "ABCD" is name of the city and "EFGHI" is province name.

The problem is, in my passport, my place of birth is written as ABCD (city name only, without province name)

So, in my citizenship application, what should I write? The truncated version, the correct version with province name, or only the city name? Should I explain it in a letter? Application form clearly says write it as shown on your immigration document but I am not sure anymore.
I got all three different answers from three different CIC officers. I don't want to amend my COPR document as it takes more than 6 months.

What do you suggest?

Hello,
I have 2 adult cousins and one aunt abroad that i would like to sponsor. I have an uncle and a mother that are Canadian citizens. Would we each be able to sponsor one of the family members abroad? My mother has a brother and a niece in canada, and my uncle (the other canadian citizen) is married, has children, and a sister in Canada. What is our best option for helping our 3 family members immigrate to Canada?
Thank you for your time.

Dears

I am currently a permanet resident, and I intend to work/volunteer for an international humanitarian/development organization , for example ( Cuso International ( http://www.cusointernational.org/ ) , will the time that I spend working/volunteering with an international humanitarian organization ( registered in Canada ) be counted towards my physical presence to get my Canadian citizenship.

Generally; other than :

• Canadian Armed Forces
• federal public administration
• public service of a province or territory

Is it an option to work for an international ( Canadian Based ) peace building / humanitarian / development organization outside Canada, and still count the time spent outside the country towards the time needed to get my Citizenship ?

Thank you

My aunt is a canadian citizen with no spouse.

I am her nephew (22y/o). Can she sponsor me?

Can my Aunt sponsor me?

Hello,

I have a PR card.

Can I apply for a supervisa for my mother and brother on my own if I am married or does my spouse need to be on the application as well?

I would like to apply for my mother living back home and my 16 year old brother as well. I just want to understand some of the rules and regulations before applying.

Also, on the Supervisa website, it mentions that for 1 applicant the minimum yearly income is around 25k. However, I never worked in Canada as my parents still financially support me from back home. But I have these funds available in my bank account.

Thank you,

I am not able to fulfill the number of years that I am in the country for the PR card. Would my children, who have fulfilled their obligations also lose their PR status?
