Thanks a lot, looks that's a good way to go than go service canada or by mail. I heard that many people didn't receive their original document or cancelled passport. It supposed to mail back with SEPERATE mail and it's hard to know when it return, or if it's lost... Did you get an application...

Anyone knows if I go to a local passport office to submit my kid's application, can I get back the original documents such as kid's cancelled passport and birth certificate after their verifying?

I meet RO but live outside Canada for more than 1095 days. I live with my citizen spouse in US which still qualify for RO counts. And I do submit my proof of residence in Canada and in US. From the wording, I believe if you are in Canada more than 730 days, you don't need to submit these...

ECAS doesn't work for me either. I use GCKey by link my application to know the status change.

If your status on portal show "returned" but the "review" button is gray (you cannot actively open your application and edit then resubmit), it could be a phantom mistake, just take it as it. The issue will disappear itself several days later. If you can review and edit your application, it's a...

They do need to verify applicant's status in Canada to qualify if you are OK to apply as Canadian residents. Generally they don't issue visas to visitors in Canada. Maybe this is the reason OP need something to prove he's PR.

For refugee PR, yes, they cannot have a passport renewal. Even they can, they avoid doing so. This is a reason for them to get protection. Most of them go travel after they got Canadian passports. Their visit back to their motherland is still in question.

I guess you use a wrong site at the very beginning of your question. It's a headache, you must have many account with IRCC, for different purposes. I use my PORTAL account try to log in my IRCC account...and finally realize this myself...

A passport still with reasonable expiry date is needed when issue you a new PR card. If your passport's expiry date is, say, 6 months later, I am afraid your application will be withheld for your new passport information. IRCC not likely links your new PR card with a passport which theorically...

Don't worry too much, waiting for two month is reasonable. Understand the strike could slow the process too.

Submitting status means your application is fine. Online application is safe, no worry about lost. If there's nothing change of the status, you generally will be processed 45-60 days later. Have no idea how the strike will affect this. For general application, a decision will be made in 3 to 5...

No, the time line is almost the same, if you've made one by mail, please don't waste public resource to make a new one, unless you clearly know your application is missing.

But it's a real appeal when do this IN Canada. It's totally different. Appeal from outside of Canada equals very very slim chance to win.

I learned that, CCB benefit goes with TAX responsibility, nothing really related with physically living in Canada. Honestly, you have to pay tax to Canada under some rules. You hardly find any rules STOP you pay tax to Canada. That say, it's easier for every one to pay Tax, thus still qualify...

You can "have a home" in Canada if you leave some personal belongings in Canada. Yes, the officer on the call agree this: I do pay $100 for my stuff in a friend's garage per month...Basically it's up to you. And right now I own a house in Canada, and my family moves to US. Doesn't matter if I...

To be or not to be an factual resident is very tricky. Mostly it's up to you when you answer the question, and PROPER answer make you yes or not. I am not kidding. Yes, 20 years ago when I returned, I was asked to do this, and my call to CRA, a nice guy clearly told me if I wanted to receive...

No, all applications actually are sent back to IRCC no matter where you make the application. H/C is the only way you will get approval when short of RO. If you have access to US, you should not apply PRTD with H/C at all. Going through land PoE will be much better

Staying in Canada and Wait your ro turns good then apply for renewal. If you need emergency trip out of Canada, use US as your bridge. Your trip to US at least the return back to Canada has to be passing through a land poe by private vehicle or on foot. Enter Canada by this way does not need a...

If you don't have enough money, stay in Canada for health protection. Compare Obama insurance with Canadian system, don't do private insurance. And I should say, with monthly mor than $1500 for a family (company pay the same at their part), we basically received the same or worse as Canadian...

US, Canada, Australia, and new Zealand are traditional immigration country. The residents there are much more international than other countries. A 15% of citizen living aboard is reasonable, not to mention many Canadians hold duel citizenship. It's a great country and the richest if you devide...
