Hello Anna, thank you very much for your reply.
I have couriered my application for the PR Card to Nova Scotia on the first week of January. How do I follow up with them regarding my application ? And how long would the Canadian Immigration take to reply ?
Thank you Best Peggy
1. If you are outside Canada and gave a non Canadian address, it is going to be refused. 2. If you applied in Canada, then the processing time is 84 days + mailing. |

It is possible for a Canadian citizen to sponsor his father's uncles's son (his father's cousin)? The son is under 17 years old from a war-torn country, Yemen? The son has finished his "O" Levels and "A" levels and ready to go to university.
1. No, not for Immigration, but you could sponsor his education on a study permit. Note you would have to be prepared to pay international fees, and show $10K per year in support funds as well. |

I highly appreciated someone can answer my question..thanks in advance
1. Yes, you must follow the Medical Surveillance instructions that were issued with his visa. 2. The PR card doesn't trump that requirement. |

Hi,
I am considering coming to Canada in March to attend a job fair. I have a temporary resident visa that was issued before I received my COPR.
Do I have to "land" and activate my PR on the visit in March or will I still be allowed to enter using the temporary resident visa? I would rather activate the PR when I land later the year with my family.
Regards, Paul
1. You can use your TRV visa to visit, just inform the CBSA officer at the Airport that you will be "landing" at a later date. |

Hello,
I am married with a child and spouse.
I want to sponsor my parent but without a co-sign from my spouse.
My income is enough for two (my parent and myself), but not for kids and family.
Can I sponsor without my spouse, by just showing me and my parent as dependent?
I have minor children. My spouse and mine combined income would work, but I am trying to do it all by myself. Thank you for help.
1. No, you must meet the Mini for your family and parents, so 3 in your family plus your parent(s) If you have only one parent, you are required to show the following income for 2014/15/16
4 persons $58,768 | $57,642 | $57,125 |

Hi I have the same problem, in my COPR and visa they left the space for 1st name and used my given name as last name ...in my passport there’s only given name (Preety Kumari) & don’t have any last name ... I overlooked and landed in Vancouver.. I realised this while making PR card and other documents... now what to do ? How to get it rectified as in some of the cards like PR card and DL is like [,Preety Kumari] same as in COPR and in MSP it’s kumari,Preety ana it’s without photo I’d due to all this mismatch ...
What should I do now ?
1. There is nothing to do. As IRCC places the given names in the Surname space on the visa and the COPR if you don't have a surname, and the given name is left blank. See:
From IRCC
" What do you mean by surname? Your surname is your family name. It is also called your “last name.” When filling out applications, type your surname as it appears on your passport, travel or identity document. Do not use initials. If you do not have a family name on your passport, travel or identity document, enter all your given name(s) in the surname field and leave the given name field blank. Do not enter “Not applicable,” “*” or “NA.” |

Hi There, I knew that ,for applying citizenship every body ( 18-54) CLB 4 or higher is a requirement. I have a CLB score 6 for Listening and CLB score 5 for Speaking on 7th March 2015. But in my copy there is a comment that, " This assessment is for PLACEMENT ONLY in a language training program." This is a assessment report. Should I use this for Citizenship Application process!
Thanks and regards, Punya
1. No, it is not sufficient evidence for the language requirement. You have to take the actual IELTs or CELPIP test or prove that your post secondary education was in an English medium.
"If you are 18 to 54 years old: Photocopies of your proof of English or French language ability if you are 18-54 years of age. Examples of what you can provide include the following: - results of a third-party language test;
- diploma, certificate or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program in Canada or abroad, where the language of study was English or French
- proof that you have reached the Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) level 4 or higher through a government-funded language training programs."

Do I Have Dual Citizenship?

My father was born and raised in Marion Bridge, NS.
He left Canada in 1978 on a work visa and traveled to the States.
That's when he met my mom and they were married 9 months later.
They did move to Montreal after their wedding but after 3 months but my mom was home sick and wanted to live back in Philadelphia.
I was born in Philadelphia PA , my father always told us that we had "dual citizenship" but only Canada recognized it.
My father passed away in 1997 and a lot has changed since then (like needing a passport to cross the border).
So my question is, "dual citizenship" is this a real thing?
Would the process of becoming a Canadian Citizen or PR be different for me?
What steps would I need to take to become a Canadian Citizen?
I have property that I inherited when my father passed.
Thank you
1. Yes you are a Canadian citizen, if your father was born in Canada. You just have to apply for proof of citizenship. You will need your father's birth certificate and your birth certificate. To apply for proof of citizenship see: http://tinyurl.com/y9numaqv 2. Note that any children of your born before April/16/2009 can also claim Canadian citizenship, those born after that date can't. |

Question 3 : If i enter in Canada and return back in 20 days will they allow me to enter as my PR card is still valid upto 2020
Thanks in advance...
1. The validity of your PR card has no bearing on your status as PR, you have to meet the residency requirement of 2 years residence in every 5 year period. If you left Canada in April/2015 you have to return to Canada before April/2018 and remain in Canada for 2 years. If you don't remain, on your next entry, you could be reported for failure to meet your residency obligations. |

I am separated and we have kids together my kids were all born here and our citizens and they're all under the age of 7 my question is can I sponsor my sister and her family use in the other relatives even if I have kids that are citizens?
I'm just a little bit confused from what I saw on the cic websites that says you can sponsor other relatives as long as you don't have any blood relative under the age of 18 that you could sponsor or any kids that are citizens thank you.
Look forward to hearing from you
1. No, as you have relatives in Canada, i.e. your children. 2. This is what is on the official website http://tinyurl.com/y9xs8rmp
Option 2: other relative You may sponsor one relative, related by blood or adoption, of any age if you meet all of the conditions, including: - you don't have a living relative you could sponsor instead, such as a:
- spouse
- common-law partner
- conjugal partner
- son or daughter
- parent
- grandparent
- brother or sister
- uncle or aunt
- nephew or niece
- you don’t have any of the above-named relatives who is:
- a Canadian citizen
- a permanent resident
- registered Indian under the Indian Act

I live in Mesa Arizona USA and my husband and mother in law are both Canadian citizens does that mean my daughter may already be a citizen or do I need to do the paper work to make her a citizen.
Also do I have to be living there to make sure she gets citizenship?
And for me do I get citizenship by marriage?
1. If the daughter's father was a Canadian citizen at the time of her birth, then she is a Canadian citizen. (Assuming her father received his citizenship through birth or naturalization) She applies for proof of citizenship see: http://tinyurl.com/y78h8ndb 2. No, there is no citizenship through marriage. Your spouse would have to sponsor you for permanent residence (and show that once a visa is issued, he would be returning to Canada). Once you received Permanent Residence in Canada, you would have to reside in Canada for 3 years in a 5 year period before you could apply for citizenship. |
