    Lost Citizenship??

    No, he's a Canadian citizen. From your description he's not a lost Canadian. He should be able to apply for passport if he has his citizenship card/certificate. If he's lost this, he'll have to apply for a replacement first. He should submit a letter explaining he needs the citizenship...

    Yes, it might very well be. You need to prove you meet the exception.

    canadian citizen (me) returning home (after 35 years in the U.S.) with U.S. citizen spouse.

    You can turn up at the border with your proof of citizenship. You will be admitted. Your spouse is a different story. In normal times she would need a reason to be coming to Canada, i.e. as a visitor, student, worker. But these are not normal times. So they will have to show they meet the...

    Currently living in the U.S.A. with my wife, we want to move to Canada - What are our options?

    So it would be best for her to come here and then sponsor you, or for the two of you to come here and then submit the application. When the sponsor isn't physically in Canada there is the added burden in the application of proving you will settle in Canada. This is obviously an issue right now...

    Passport Eligibility?

    So apply for the passport using your birth certificate with your parents' names, your father's birth certificate and your parents' marriage certificate. As I said before, one of two things will happen. If you're approved then there's no problem, right? I don't know off the top of my head what...

    BCPNP nominated - been offered promotion

    Yes, you can take this role. It's a job offer. So you have to make sure it fits the same criteria your previous job offer did.

    Renouncing PR delays ETA

    As you allude to, the border is mostly closed: https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/services/covid/non-canadians-canadiens-eng.html#er2 Much of Canadian immigration/entry policy in Canada is discretionary. So you can believe you fit the exemption but somebody has to judge that you do. In order to meet...

    Should be good then. Try applying and see what happens.

    Passport Eligibility?

    It depends upon what your grandparents status was in the UK, as that determines whether or not your father is a citizen. You can try to apply for your UK passport with your father's birth certificate, your parents' marriage certificate and your birth certificate listing your parents' names...

    Need Information Regarding the Express Entry Program

    Sorry I can't find the text your referencing. Can you link to the actual page? Full time skilled work counts. Usually, when you are studying full time, you are not working full time, right? This where I'm confused. Skilled work experience counts. There is a preference in the evaluation for your...

    It depends how you applied. They may request your passport by mail, but that request will likely come from the visa office where your application was submitted (i.e. outside of Canada). They may also just require you to visit an IRCC office.

    Can I add my common-law partner after AOR if we became common-law after I have submitted my EE application?

    So you have two options: submit the information now and see if she can be included on your current application or wait until you get PR and then sponsor her. If you do the former, I think you should include a letter explaining the situation. I have no idea if this will look suspicious. That's a...

    Need Information Regarding the Express Entry Program

    Let me try to answer your questions: Yes, it needs to be after you graduate. There could be some exceptions but, generally, it has to be after you graduate. You can study in a different field. The key thing is that the work experience is somehow related to your top degree. Please post those...

    Visit in Canada and then Apply?

    Well, technically you can do that (in normal times with an open border). But they don't want you doing that. And if you show up at a Port of Entry and say "I'm here to apply for PR" or "I'm here to look for a job" you will be denied entry. (Ditto if you put this on your visa application. To make...

    Spouse visa during COVID

    Yeah but work permits are mostly done online, right? AORs take a few months, I think, normally. These sites https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/ https://myimmitracker.com/ have done crowd-sourced application processing tracking, which can give you better ideas.

    Spouse visa during COVID

    In normal circumstances this would be a very long time without an AOR, but these are not normal times. IRCC offices have been closed since March, to the best of my knowledge. People have been working from home and I have no idea how many paper applications are being handle or how quickly. You...
