I guess its slow going due to the upcoming holidays!

Hi, I didn't get the test invite yet. Should I be worried?

Thanks mate. The consultant told me that I just need to rent out my home and take my family with me to become a non resident for tax purpose. Since I am paying my mortgage, he said there is no need to close my bank account. regarding other stuff, he said the following: Credit cards: No need to...

Hi Guys. I sent my application on Jun 7th and my AOR is Sep 15th, the background verification was marked as complete on Nov 5th. Looking at trends, I am expecting the citizenship process to be completed by maybe June 2022. Recently I am accepted a job offer from the Middle East which is tax...

Hi guys - I got AOR on Sep 15. I am in the process of getting a job offer outside North America. Can I use this job offer to change my regular application to an "urgent application"? I am asking because the job opportunity is not dependent on me becoming a Canadian citizen. Simply having a job...

Hi guys. I checked the citizenship tracker today, it shows "Background Verification" as complete for my application however its "in progress" for my wife and minor child. Is this a step in the right direction, anything significant about it? Thanks.

Hi guys, I sent my paper application on Jun 07, 2021, still waiting for the AOR. I have recently changed my address, is there a process for notifying CIC about the change in address? Thanks.

I think I mentioned in excess of 100k. Also, this amount is good enough to cover the essentials in GTA (rent, car, groceries, insurance). Vacations, eating out at decent restaurants and other extra curricular becomes affordable when the spouse starts working. Year end bonus help a lot.

I moved to Canada as a PR in 2018 after living in Middle East for 11 years. Since I got transferred to Canada as part of corporate relocation, I took a 60% pay cut even though my employer stayed the same. I say 60% because I am deducting taxes, EI and CPP from my Canadian salary and comparing...

Hi, I went through this process in 2016. My wife lived in Kuwait for many years and I had to get her PCC while both of us lived in another country. You will get the request letter from CIC as soon as you submit your application post ITA (it took me 4 days after AOR). Before submitting, I...

Hi, Yes, my wife had to go through the process of applying for Kuwait PCC while both of us were not in Kuwait at the time. Thankfully my wife's family was still there to do the running around. It was a painful experience. If I remember correctly, the authorities asked for the letter from CIC...

My wife had a similar case when I applied for PR in 2016. As soon as my wife left Kuwait to study in India (all along she had a valid Kuwait residence), her country of residence became India. You should list trips to Kuwait while you were studying in India as vacation trips to visit parents and...

Nope. As i said, I saw in my GCMS notes that my application was approved in Oct 2016. In the notes section, the agent reviewing my application clearly wrote "Please request PPT" back in Oct 2016. Also, on the second page under Assessments, Eligibility / Criminality / Medical / Final Assessment...

Hi guys, I received PPR this afternoon after a horrendously long wait of 17 months and 4 days. My AOR was 20th Mar 2016 (FSWO-NDVO). From the multiple GCMS notes I ordered, I saw that my application was approved in Oct 2016 but CIC failed/forgot (if that is even possible!!) to send me the PPR...
