    I'd say still renew your PR card. It may take you a day to prepare the doc but then it's very straight forward process. These are crazy times. Who know you may have to take a flight for any emergency. My wife has similar timeline. She applied and got it within 2 months. Total expense ~$80...

    I contacted CIC through my MP too. He just confirmed that all the documents were in order and CIC didn't require anything else.

    @robertp @laxsun @YULIA-2016 @serious_cheese Could you please update the status on tracker? I could not go to the Google sheet. PCC and IMM5562 sent to Delhi office on Apr 16. Can someone please guide how to verify if they received the documents?

    Hey buddy, did I read your signature correctly? You sent your application in Oct 2020 and you have your oath done already? There are many such as my wife who applied a year prior to you and are still waiting. Just wondering if you applied with a fast track request?

    The PCC letter bottom says New Delhi so I assume its NDVO.

    @robertp @laxsun @serious_cheese @YULIA-2016 Finally some progress on parents' case. We received request for medical and PCC yesterday. Today I also received pre arrival services letter. I was under the impression that they send out this letter only when the PR has been approved. IRCC has its...

    Cheer up bud. My wife's application was also received in Sep 2019. We received only an AOR in Nov 2019, nothing after that - not even 'In Process' status. Waiting for some progress! Congratulations for the journey so far. You should be getting oath invitation within the next few days!

    You cannot apply for passport until you get the citizenship certificate. At least that was the rule before COVID when the certificate was given the same day when you took the oath. Technically you become a citizen after you take the oath. But the passport office requires a simple proof, i.e...

    Yes, on the ECAS website it shows two lines for the two applications with the corresponding dates. Just as an aside, a friend recently got his PR status. He got the PR card within 1 week of PR approval. IRCC has its own priority sequence :) BTW, apparently IRCC has now removed the requirement...

    Thanks for sharing. My wife is also a Sep 2019 applicant for citizenship. Like most others, the last update we received was in Nov 2019 that they have started processing the application. To cover for any emergency travel, she applied for PR card renewal in Sep 2020. We received an...

    Are you sure on this? Here is the verbatim excerpt from an another member: Provincial/Territorial personal health claim summary for each province/territory you have resided in during the period 2016-06-21 to 2019-06-27. And here is the actual email abstract...

    It is called Statement of Benefits Paid (SOBP) in Alberta. Here is the link: https://www.alberta.ca/ahcip-forms.aspx. You can apply for it directly. I have heard anecdotally that is is easier and faster if you request your family doctor though.

    I think its a great step that they are providing the online test option and on top of that they give 21 days to complete it. Earlier, the applicants would get only one date and they had to do it on that date only. Anyway, one has the option to request for deferral to another date (for online...

    After the oath, it takes 2 business days for the system to get updated. You can then apply for passport. Passport can be obtained within 1 to 10 business days depending on how soon do you want it. COVID may have made these timelines little longer. Apart from that, I don't think you need to be in...

    Well, I doubt if CSBA keeps very good records. But regardless, I'd strongly suggest to be in Canada for these steps. We all have invested so much in the process, both financially and mentally, that we wouldn't want to take any chances. I was planning to go out for a few months with the family...
