Review a material change when it arises rather than relying on an earlier assessment of different terms.
Preserve the effective history
Explain what rights applied at the relevant stages and obtain case-specific advice. An updated agreement does not move the usual I-829 deadline away from the conditional-residence anniversary.
Agree review points: petition filed, receipt issued, decision received, Visa Bulletin checked quarterly, visa or adjustment application lodged, and residence granted. Processing times vary by petition type, project and country of chargeability and change over time, so the current published information should be checked rather than an estimate relied upon. Arrange the loan so the funds are available and committed before filing, and so repayments through the conditional period can be met from income rather than from the invested capital. Review chargeability and the applicable Visa Bulletin with counsel; residence in Canada alone does not eliminate availability issues. Conditional permanent residence begins on admission or on approval of adjustment rather than on approval of the petition, and the filing to remove conditions falls due in a window measured from that start rather than from any later correction to a record. Later stages run on their own timetable, and queue position often follows country of birth rather than a Canadian address or passport, so no waiting time can be promised in advance.
