That makes things a bit difficult. Unfortunately I think we are going to have to apply from outside of Canada as I will only be there from August. My wife will have to be there on an eta, which I think restricts her to 6 months max. in a 12 month period. I guess she'll be asked to leave the...

Thanks for that information. We were not aware of this. Does this mean we must apply only after I have moved to Nova Scotia in July?

We both intend to stay permanently in Nova Scotia hence looking at the PR card route with OWP. We are beginning to get all the documents together and apply outside of Canada to begin with as I don't start work there until August. We are selling up in the UK and already have a property in Nova...

We're from the UK and moving to Nova Scotia.

I recently gained my Citizenship by descent and wish to move to Canada as soon as possible as I have a job offer already. I wish to sponsor my wife to come with me and looking through the guides has left me a little confused. Am I correct in thinking that I fill in the Spousal Sponsorship...

Thank you so much for clarifying this. Very helpful.

By descent via my Grandfather who was a crown servant in WW2.

Did a quick search and can't find a definitive answer. My certificate arrived last week (21/04/2022) and is dated 1977 (effective date of citizenship). Does this effectively allow my children, born 2002 and 2005 to apply for citizenship by descent at some point in the future as I was...

I found a small privately owned company in the town where I've bought a house and sent a cheeky email asking what the opportunities may be. Visited them twice when I was on vacation there and got to know them very well. I was very lucky that the company is small, and due to an impending...

The parental link issue was solved by DNA tests. The closest living relative that was willing to help me was my fathers 1st cousin in Halifax. The DNA report was very conclusive with my father being listed as 1st cousin with 99% certainty. We then needed his 1st cousin's birth certificate and...

Yes, he was a Crown Servant in WW2. There were slight complications with my application due to my father's birth certificate not actually naming his father. I had to supply poorf of my Grandfathers Citizenship (official Nova Scotia birth record from the Archives was required), military service...

Just had word from the embassy in London that my application has been approved... Timeline: Application received: 30/01/2020 Acknowledgement sent: 22/09/2020 Processing started: 27/05/2021 At various stages additional information has been requested and duly supplied Decision made: 18/03/2022...

My application is now a stage further on as I now have proof that my Grandfather was in military service in the UK when my father was born and that has been accepted by IRCC. The next issue that they have thrown at me is that his name doen't appear on my fathers birth certificate... rules in the...

Than you for that. My Grandfather was born in Nova Scotia as we're both his parents and we can trace back to native Mik'Mak down my Great Grandmother's line.

I applied from the UK in December 2019, received in Canada January 30th 2020, acknowledged receipt of application with my UCI number etc. on September 22nd 2020. Checking daily on the website it remained as received and the advised average waiting time was 5 months... contacted the embassy in...
