My passport experience (long post): I originally applied in person at Service Canada in June 22, the expected mailing date was August 18. 1st transfer attempt (trip date: Sunday August 31st) - July 21 st (10 days before my trip ) - I called the passport line to ask for a transfer, I was told...

A transfer is not guaranteed. I recently asked for a transfer 10 days before my trip, the agent said I was going to receive a call from my local passport office to let me know when my passport would be ready. I never got a call, so I went to the passport office and they told me my file was...

My picture only has the printed date from the photo studio stamp. I submitted my application in person at a Service Canada office, the person who checked my documents didn’t mention anything about needing a second date next to the guarantor’s signature. I wonder if this is a common issue that...

I was also lucky to grab a last minute appointment for the North Vancouver office. The person who received my documents was really nice and I was in and out in less than half an hour.

Hi!, does anyone know if it’s ok to have the passport photos taken if one is still waiting for the certificate? I’m wondering if this could create any issue if the photos are taken before the date of emission of the certificate. My status recently changed to complete, but I’m not sure if the...

One of my friends recently applied for a study permit, his classes will start at the end of October and based in his classmates who applied earlier than him, he will likely get the permit approved at the beginning of next month. He has enough money saved to support himself if the decides to...

Money would be no problem, my friend has been saving for several years for his move to Canada, my question is more geared towards what are the guidelines that border offices follow. I couldn’t find an specific mention of the topic on IRCC website

One of my friends recently applied for a study permit, his classes will start at the end of October and based in his classmates who applied earlier than him, he will likely get the permit approved at the beginning of next month. He would like to move here as soon as possible, how far in...

As an immigration lawyer it would make sense tat they have seen some of their clients gone through that in the past, hence why they mention it

I'm well aware that Trudeau scrapped the intent to reside law and is not what I'm talking about. All of previous my comments have been in response to this post, about a file that's been put on hold because the applicants left Canada after submitting their application for Citizenship.

No non-sense. This has been discussed before and is true that after getting citizenship you are free to move wherever you want; however, expressing the intend DURING your application can potentially push your file for further investigation, resulting in longer waiting times.

Read again I never said suspend your application, I said PUT ON HOLD because of further investigation (based on an immigration's lawyers words). Please read carefully before commenting.

CIC can put your application on hold if they find out you have plans to relocate outside Canada after being granted Citizenship. Many people are waiting for the passport to apply for jobs abroad or move out permanently, but if they express that intend during an interview changes are this could...

You need to be physically present in Canada in order to take the test, otherwise, you should reschedule it. If we invited you for an online test, you have 21 daysfrom the date in the invitation to take the test If you need an extension, email the office that sent you the test invitation with...

Exactly

This forum is about debate, isn’t it? But the kind of remarks you do jumping at whoever says something negative goes beyond. How does trying to deny that the online process is uncertain help other applicants?. they should be presented both sides so they can take an informed decision wether to...

If you can’t see why this kind of response and mindset is problematic and doesn‘t really help other users there’s little I can do. But I still stand by my previous post, your toxic positivity does t help others in the forum, especially if you use it to try to shut others who "dare" to say...

There’s no data to backup your claims that the hassle of slow AOR will be leveraged by a faster test invite, this has only happened to a handful of (lucky) applicants. The IRCC agents have stated that those applicants were part of a pilot where only 120 people were selected, so the average...

All of them said they were regular applicants, no urgent processing
