It's at the Sinclair Wellness Centre, 757 Hastings Street West #200.

The above apply when you go to a Passport Canada office, not Service Canada or any other receiving agents, I think.

Missed the "traveling by road" part -- that's fine. By plane is not fine :).

Don't leave it blank -- write "unemployed/not studying". I had a similar 2-month period while awaiting transfer to a college, but wasn't working either -- just hanging around waiting. I wrote exactly that on the cover letter (put nicely, of course).

Congrats, first of all. You cannot re-enter Canada with an invalidated COPR (CIC invalidates your PR status when you go for the oath). The Citizenship Certificate is not a travel document. Thus, you may travel to the US, but it's going to be one-way. Go to the Passport Office in person 2...

1. Being self-employed rings many bells. As such, I strongly urge you to include all tax returns (photocopies) for the relevant period. (I included mine even though I was merely employed.) 2. Just the biodata page. 3. It would be a good idea to include minimal info (not too many copies, that...

I did order another original transcript from the university and my interviewer did look at it. Also, make sure to take a letter of employment if you are employed -- it supports any statement you may make. It's always good to show such supporting evidence -- helped in my case. If you cannot order...

Go to Richmond, BC, and ask the Asian Canadians whether they have ever voted, or will ever vote, in their lives... If you get new Canadian citizens who are apathetic, why do you not expect the Tories to be in power? Regarding Act C-24 (not a bill anymore), its major impact was on Lost Canadians...

You could write that you decided to dedicate to a professional career before returning to school and that you intended to spend those three months waiting for the PR. Upon becoming a PR, you immediately went to work. Nothing mysterious, just keep it plain and DO NOT lie or conceal anything, but...

You just explained it and makes sense. Make sure you write it up nicely on the cover letter. Now, for question 6F, use a table to record you past four years (separate sheet probably as you've got some explanation to do). When you get to that one week, you don't have to single it out in this...

Read Section C, p. 1 on the ATIP instructions located at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/forms/IMM5563E.pdf. Specifically (click to enlarge):

Straightforward (a friend of mine had 14 months of gap): Fill out the table and include a row for the gap. On the cover letter, explain in details, why the gap. Make sure you reference question 6F on the cover letter. You should be fine.

It will not be an issue. However, do NOT conceal this information because one of the questions you will be asked during the interview is: "Do you have any family in Canada?" or "What is your marital status?" or something like that. If you lie, or conceal the information, it may delay your...

Another item to add to the checklist...: ▢ Whether you are planning a trip or traveling soon, register with Canada's official travel site, Travel.GC.CA, at http://travel.gc.ca/travelling/registration.

Excellent -- exactly one week after mine. Congrats!

Many applicants will never receive it -- I've known quite a few that didn't. They studied with any of the electronic versions (apps, the PDF located here, etc.). If you would like to have a hard copy, order one from CIC.

Did you sign the media release form at the registration desk before the ceremony, or at home prior?

You might. Just write them down on the two pages in the middle of Discover Canada (ignore the Territory sections, since you're in BC). You can find your mayor here (but make sure to do a sanity check). You can find your MLA here, and your MP right here. The current BC Lt. Gov. is Judith Guichon...

Unfortunately, the new residency requirement is expected to come into force some time this year. It will affect a lot of permanent residents who do not deserve it otherwise. All you can do at this point is stay positive and be patient. (I realize it's easier said than done, but we've all been...

No. You get an optical test sheet and a pencil to darken the circle corresponding to the right answer for each question. The test sheet is scanner readable (OMR, that is). The 20 test questions are laminated on a separate set of sheets, and the multiple choices are bulleted by letters (A, B, C...
