    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    Still waiting on IP here. Getting the feeling I may be one of those files that waits around longer than normal to get the IP change.

    Citizenship - Unclear on the PCC Requirements.

    Any help on this? I went ahead and ordered an Aussie PCC just in case, but if I don't need it I can submit my app sooner. Thanks!

    Citizenship - Unclear on the PCC Requirements.

    Hi all, As I'm sure many of you have also experienced, it's not that crystal clear whether to submit PCC's with your application or not. As I recall, the PR process was fairly straight forward when it came to this. Just hoping some of you can provide me with a bit of guidance. Here is my...

    Time as a temporary resident before becoming a PR coutned?

    That's what I figured. It's just confusing wording because it says here that the 3 out of 5 means you need to be physically present in Canada for this time before applying and that "Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a temporary resident or protected person...

    Time as a temporary resident before becoming a PR coutned?

    Hi friends, this is a really premature question but one I'm curious about. I only became a PR in April this year so it's a while before I contemplate citizenship BUT I saw that with Bil C-6 there's a change coming where they will count time spent before you were a PR. I lived in Canada from...

    Police Certificate (7+ Countries!?)

    Have a look at the process involved for each police certificate separately and try to tackle them one at a time as the process can get overwhelming. If you find one that is difficult, put it aside for now and try to sort the others out. You may be able to apply for and get some in a couple of...

    Renting Advice

    We've found a sublet from April 6th until May 1st so that should help get our feet on the ground and go from there. Try and find a short term rental from May 1st then for the summer as we hope to buy something then. Don't want to get locked into a 1 year contract unless we absolutely have to...

    Renting Advice

    Hi friends, I'm going to be moving to Ottawa next week (April 6th). Wondering if anyone has any pro-tips on getting started in Ottawa. We're probably going to get an AirBnB or something to start out but then we'll need a short term rental (nothing much more than a few months) while we find the...

    Landing and PR card questons

    I'm doing it all at the same time as I won't be going back to the UK for a while. I'm not shipping anything. I'd be bringing it with me when I return from a trip. Thanks!

    Landing and PR card questons

    This is the full move. However, I'm currently in transit doing a move from Australia. Wife is already in Canada, I'm visiting family in the UK. Have all the stuff with us from Aus, but I also have stuff in the UK to bring along later. Can't fit it all with me for the upcoming trip. So, I'll know...

    Landing and PR card questons

    I'm not really able to quantify things into boxes etc. I can say "1 suitcase" for the clothes, but as for things to follow, I have no idea. Quantity is possibly what's going to trip me up I think. For accompanying, its easy, but otherwise not sure.

    Thanks! So just create a couple spreadsheets and don't prefill BSF186?

    Landing and PR card questons

    Thanks for the reply both. Yeah, that's the conclusion I came to with the PR card so it's good to hear I don't have to! I think I'll fly the next day to be safe. RE the customs forms (BSF186?): - I am bringing goods with me. Therefore I need to fill out this form. I will have clothes, some...

    Landing and PR card questons

    Hi folks, I will be doing my landing net week (April 3rd) at Toronto Pearson. I have a few questions. Do I need (or can I) to prefill my PR card application? I'm taking a look at it and there are a lot of questions about my movement and travel history. I've been outside of Canada since 2012...
