CP perhaps required someone to sign off. Since we've a community mail box (which I absolutely hate after I moved), they will never be able to take signature. So, they leave a note to pick up from the nearest CP location. I forgot to add before that I did not receive my child's old passport...

I received my child's passport through CanadaPost Xpresspost. Here is the timeline: Type: Child Passport - Renewal (Regular) Application Date: 14-Jun-2022 (via Service Canada) Expected Mail-out Date: 11-Aug-2022 1st Call to Call Centre: 17-Oct-2022 (was told that the app was approved, but it...

This is purely my explanation: Consider IRCC a large company. It has its yearly budget, projects, goals, deliverables, etc. If IRCC achieved its goals (processing of target number of app) in 2020 and the fiscal year is over, the work not finished rolled over to the next year and loses...

The request for additional doc was made by IRCC thru email on Oct 5, 2022 allowing 60 days to respond. The email came from IRCC.ClientInformation-InformationsClient.IRCC@cic.gc.ca at Case Processing Centre - Sydney. I emailed back with the docs on the following day of Oct 6, 2022. I raised a...

They asked to re-submit 'Use of Representative Form' with wet signatures along with additional photo IDs. I delared myself as my mom's rep in the application. And I only typed our names in that form originally since the form allowed it.

Yes, you're right. But in my mom's case, they asked for additional info on Oct 5 within 60 days which I provided (email) the following day. So, I am desperately waiting to see that they acknowledge the receipt.

I applied to renew my child's passport in mid-June through a Service Canada Centre. I was told that it would take 3 months. Today I called 1-800-567-6868 and was told the application was approved. However, it has just gone for printing. Printing would take 3 weeks and another week for mailing...

Same here. Updated Oct 8, 2022.

I got en email yesterday about my mother's application that Client Information-IRCC wants us to re-submit the Use of Representative form (IMM5476) along with identifications within 60 days. When I applied online back in Jan, I just typed the names in the signature fields on this fillable form...

I applied for my in-laws online in past. I created a GC account under my FIL's name who was the principal applicant.

Hi, I applied for my mom's PRC renewal in July and it took just over a month to process. FYI, her citizenship application is in-progress. Here's the timeline from E-Cas: Permanent Resident Card We received your application for a permanent resident card on July 13, 2022. We sent you...

Honestly, I had no idea about this low number of targets for online app. Had I known before, I would have sent a paper-based app for my mom. It doesn't even make sense when you look at the tracker as most applications seem to be online type.

Hello, I've been away from this forum for a long time. I applied for my mom's (over 55) citizenship this Jan. Like many of you, the status is "in progress". Type: Online application Location: Sarnia, ON Physical Presence Days: 1,404 days Application: Single Application submitted: January 17...

When an application is returned, by default, it can be assumed that mistakes have been made from the applicant. And so did I although this is my first returned application. I sat back, went thru the whole application package, residence calculation and all her records and I've come to realize...

I called again on Friday and surprisingly an agent picked up the phone just after 2 rings. After getting my info, she went back to talk to her supervisor and told me that the non-PR days should have been counted. And if I choose to re-apply, I should include her boarding passes and an...

Thanks for the answers guys. This is really a BS that your non-PR days don't count even when it says it will as a visitor. We're from Bangladesh which is not a visa-exempt country and each time my mom entered-exited Canada, there was a stamp on her passport. And I know that doesn't mean the...

When I bought my house way back in 2013, my home inspector told me that I would require a new roof in 5-7 years. Finally, i did mine this summer and cost me $7500, ouch!

I applied for my mother's citizenship on 23-Jul-19 and it was returned in the following month due to "an error in her physical presence calculation". This is basically the summary of the letter they provided along with the full application: "On your application and physical presence calculation...

Just to let everyone know here: I submitted my in-laws' application ONLINE (with my FIL's mycic account) on April 23 and IRCC asked to send their passports on April 26. Here's what I did with the forms/docs: 1) IMM5257(s) in electronic version were uploaded (not signed or scanned) 2)...

My in-laws got Visit Visa twice before and they never had to show a confirmed ticket. So, I'm not showing one, rather may show a sample itinerary (printout from airlines website before payment). BTW, they will come for 3 weeks in real, so they will have confirmed return ticket with them. Did...
