Thanks, sistemc, I applied last week with the letter and they checked it over and said it was all good. cheers

Hi there, I'm applying for my passport and I couldn't find this addressed anywhere and it seems like a small detail, but I don't want to mess it up since I will be traveling soon and can't afford to reprocess the app. The passport application PDF does not have a character restriction on the...

just restarted case with email and filled out form. looks like it is working now!

https://www.edo.cjis.gov now says: so looks like they are aware of the issue and hopefully will be resolved soon.

Experiencing the same issue. Tried almost every browser/OS/device combo I had available, but same issue every time. Was driving me crazy, glad to find this and discover that it may be an issue with their website. Will try calling them tomorrow if it isn't resolved.

Hi dpenabill, Thanks for your time. I agree IRCC has final discretion on the request and can ask for whatever they want of the applicant due to this discretionary power, but disagree that there does not exist a definitive calculation method. We are talking about a large bureaucratic...

Hi qorax, Thanks, that's what I'm leaning towards as well since it is the method I used during PR. That physical presence calculator just gave me a glimmer of hope that maybe I could fly under the limit, but the entry/exit date method makes more sense for a security confirmation. When I go back...

Hi qorax, Thank you for your reply. Most of the visits to and from the US & Canada do not result in a stamped passport. It is interesting to go by stamps in passport for calculations as sometimes stamps will create a gap due to time zone differences and long travel times before immigration...

Hi EstherBarros, Thanks for replying. I would hope that would be the case, but as you can see the calculator differs from what qorax has said, which is also different from just doing a subtraction of dates in a program such as excel or libreoffice calc, so there seems to be a discrepancy, which...

Hi ZingyDNA, No, that's not what I'm asking. I assume that for the police certificate calculations the day always counts as a full day, that seems pretty clear since this is for a security concern. Haha, not sure what you mean by innovative, I'm just trying to avoid having to go through the...

Hi there, I have found a bunch of threads for physical presence calculation and that the online calculator method can be trusted as accurate in that days that you leave and return to Canada are counted as you being physically present in Canada (ref...

you can also go to point Roberts, which is closer. just over 1h from yaletown/downtown Vancouver via skytrain and public bus. I'm planning on landing there by foot, had a friend renew his work permit there earlier this year and he also used public transportation. cheers, z

Hey folks, I'm also in the same boat. I turned down my first ITA b/c police certificate was taking too long, second ITA was submitted 13th Nov and AOR on 14th Nov. I paid everything up front and things were moving along until the BG check switched from something to "not needed at this time,"...

many thanks for responding, sorry i missed it. Looks like it is along process, so I won't hold my breath until the passport request. cheers, z

hey there, sorry I didn't realize anyone had responded to this, turning notifications on now... Thanks for the info and replies, maybe I should have put this in the CEC forum. I submitted my app without the declaration of relatives living in Canada and the required document entry disappeared...

Hi there, This is a hard query to search for due to the words involved, so I haven't had much luck finding definitive information on this forum or on the CIC website. I just submitted my app and received an AOR, which is great and the wait begins. I am a US citizen living/working in Canada...

Hi there, I've read through a few posts regarding what the required documentation is if you declare that you have a relative who is a citizen or permanent resident in Canada already, but I could not find the answer to a few remaining questions: #1 Is it mandatory to declare that you have...

Spoke too soon! I looked into the individually entered education history rows and there it was, I didn't realize it had to be entered for each row. cheers, z

hi there, were you able to actually update your profile with your ECA ref number? I have my reference number, but I cannot figure out where to enter this information in the update profile section in myCIC account. I looked through all the sections and I did not see a field for it. I thought it...
