Hi there, Just for your future reference that COPR is very important, you should immediately let CIC know that you have lost it so they can produce a new one for you. That paper is with you for the rest of your life in Canada. It is needed for your Citizenship as well. It is basically your...

Nope! Wrong! So what? The officers are tired & preoccupied too! Remember you are crossing an international border! Having a Canadian passport / Nexus doesn't change anything, in fact, you will be held against higher standards having them! It's expected of you to act like a Nexus holder! In a...

Hi there, Nexus cards are strictly designed for 'low-risk' people crossing the borders between US & Canada. So I would say yes, they will dig very deep into all the information you provide. You have to remember, you will be essentially pre-approved every time you cross the border. That is...

No you don't get pushed. They will assign a new deadline and once they receive the asked-for document they will get back on your application.

Anytime! Glad I could help. I completely understand your frustration, but what can you do right? You made the right decision asking for that certificate. And yes they are not very transparent about the process, hence your visa office. I believe the processing office is Sydney Nova Scotia, but...

Hi there, First off calm down, it's not the end of the world. Address change takes a while, as they have to input it manually after your request. I'd give it two to four weeks for address change. Stop sending them more requests, it just makes them more confused. To answer your question; yes...

Hi there, you should say NO to that answer. Cause since your are applying through express entry they are looking for express entry nomination. But that being said, I would personally scan my nomination and add it to my supporting documents, just in case. This is what it says on CIC website...

Hi there, It should go through, changing categories as long as they are inline should be fine. You can't become a manager of a restaurant after preparing dishes as a line chef! It has to make sense. I'm not gonna lie, it's an odd jump in your case, only after two months! It might raise some...

My bad my bad. Congrats on the Passport. :)

Congrats on your passport. It feels very nice to finally touch that piece of document doesn't it? Just so you know you will still need to wait to enter USA via border crossing like everyone else. If maybe you want to save 10 mins, you should apply for Nexus. Didn't mean to pop your bubble there...

Sorry I deleted my reply, I need to do a bit of study on IEC regulations. I think I was wrong on my first reply. I'll get back to your post if I got an answer.

Just a quick update: So I applied for my passport last week on Friday at Surrey's passport office. They said it's going to take 2 to 3 weeks for the passport to arrive but I got it today in the mail. So exactly one week. Again surrey passport office, not Vancouver or Richmond. Couple of things...

Hi there, That is not a ground for rejection. Rest assured if they need any more information they will contact you or your doctor. It's all good. Don't worry about it. Best of luck,

Hi there, As long as it's officially translated, meaning; it's stamped and the translator is recognized. There shouldn't be any problem. But if it's not official, just google search for local translators, pay a visit to their office and get it done. Best of luck,

Hi there, If it's in their company policy then I'm afraid there isn't much that you can do. But if you're applying through CEC and can't provide the reference, you can simply compose a letter and explain that it's company policy not to provide any letter. But make sure you add as much as...

Yes the visa is still acceptable if not damaged. And no, once you get your PR card there is no need for any Canadian visa, all the visas will get automatically void once you land.

Is there any grounds for rejection? If not then you're one step away from becoming a Canadian Citizen. That'll be your Oath.

Hey I completely forgot to mention this, cause I'm at work and write these in chunks and lose grip. So if possible give them your dates for your travels. They will act accordingly in regards to your dates. I remember after I asked for the urgent processing (and I gave them my travel schedule)...

I agree with all the responses made to your query, just a small add-on, since I went through it; Once you file in your Urgent processing there is no way to find out if they have agreed with your request or not. Especially if you request it mid-way. So the best way to make sure is to give it a...

Hi there, You're really pushing the envelope aren't you? And there is nothing wrong with that. For your first question, technically your visa expires once you go into 11th, that means 11:59PM on 10th is your last minute. This being said, there is nothing to worry about really, it's just couple...
