1/7/2019 Topic: Citizenship Application - Taxes for 3 Years Lahbib70	Hello, You can always wait until you file your 2018 income taxes that you probably would do in February 2019, then you submit your Canadian citizenship application. Concerning your minor children, either you can contact IRCC call centre for details and options regarding your situation or maybe try to contact your country of origin's consulate/embassy in Canada for assistance regarding your children's proof of birth. Thank you

It is highly recommended that if your common-law partner decided to come back with you to Canada to keep his/her immigration status valid before starting the sponsorship application and during the process.

1/29/2019 Topic: US and UK citizens marrying in Canada? Lahbib70	Hello, Here are some sections taken from the Civil Marriage Act (S.C. 2005, c. 33) https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/c-31.5/page-1.html 3.1 For greater certainty, no person or organization shall be deprived of any benefit, or be subject to any obligation or sanction, under any law of the Parliament of Canada solely by reason of their exercise, in respect of marriage between persons of the same sex, of the freedom of conscience and religion guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the expression of their beliefs in respect of marriage as the union of a man and woman to the exclusion of all others based on that guaranteed freedom. For greater certainty, a marriage is not void or voidable by reason only that the spouses are of the same sex. Marginal note:Marriage of non-resident persons 5 (1) A marriage that is performed in Canada and that would be valid in Canada if the spouses were domiciled in Canada is valid for the purposes of Canadian law even though either or both of the spouses do not, at the time of the marriage, have the capacity to enter into it under the law of their respective state of domicile Thank you Lahbib

2/6/2019 Topic: Will I get SIN without PR card? Lahbib70	Hello, As a permanent resident of Canada, I believe that you need a PR card to apply for SIN. A valid PRTD is not accepted by Service Cnada in order to get a SIN. If you did not get a PR card after your arrival(Basically you do not have to apply for it to receive it) then you have to apply for your initial one. You will have to wait for a couple of months before you receive it. Thank you. Lahbib

2/8/2019 Topic: Eligibility Date earlier than PR Date Lahbib70	Hello, Regarding the questions you asked, you need to provide all activities and addresses for the period of five years immediately before the date of your application, even if part of it you spend it in another country(Your country of origin) According to the new rules regarding Canadian citizenship application you do not have to provide a police certificate if during the last four (4) years you were residing in your country of origin immediately prior to becoming a PR and landing in Canada. In terms of travels to other countries, you need to provide details about those trips that occurred during the five (5) years eligibility period. Thank you Lahbib
2/19/2019 Topic: Re-Submission of Photos for 1st PR card Lahbib70	Hello, I do not think that a handwritten information on the back of the photo was the issue, as the Permanent Residents Photograph Specifications stated that: "The photographer may use a stamp or handwrite this information. Stick-on labels are unacceptable." You would probably need to go back and check all specifications (There are many): 50 mm x 70 mm (2 inches wide x 2 3/4 inches long) and sized so the height of the face measures between 31 mm and 36 mm (1 1/4 inches and 1 7/16 inches) from chin to crown of head (natural top of head) In addition to other details. Good luck. Lahbib
2/19/2019 Topic: Spouse Sponsor: Primary Income Earner Question Lahbib70	Hello, The application to sponsor a spouse does not look basically at the principal applicant's income but rather at the sponsor's ability to provide for basic needs of any person he/she is sponsoring (according to the Guide.) However, the sponsor can always attach as many extra documents and proofs that support the idea that the principal applicant is the family's primary income earner and eventually will keep/and be able doing the same role once in Canada. The immigration officer who would process the application will probably consider all options and start corresponding with the sponsor to clarify any situation. Immigration officers are probably considering many factors when processing spousal sponsorship, such as age difference, education level, employability once in Canada and other factors.. The sponsor's income is a not a cause for rejection neither of approval of the application. The principal applicant cannot co-sign! Good luck. Lahbib
2/21/2019 Topic: Overcoming the Absence of Sponsor Lahbib70	Hi Ghislain, I hope you are doing great. I am wondering why you presume that your relative needs a sponsor to migrate to Canada. Lahbib
2/21/2019 Topic: Travel to Canada while Applying for Citizenship Lahbib70	Hello, My understanding is that you are in the process of applying for your child's Canadian citizenship certificate. Currently, he is a German citizen and accordingly he can travel to Canada as any foreigner using a German passport. Canada recognize dual citizenship, so even if he is recognized as a Canadian citizen he can always use the German passport if it is not conflicting with German laws. Please check the link below: https://travel.gc.ca/travelling/documents/dual-citizenship You can always contact the Canadian Visa Office in Germany for more details and clarification. https://www.vfsglobal.ca/canada/germany/contact_us.html Have a nice day Lahbib
