I called the 1 888 242 2100 number. My application wasn't set as COMPLETE 5 (five) business days after the oath; I waited more than the 3 business days you are told to wait.

I was supposed to be eligible to submit my passport application on Monday (Aug 12th), DM status still Tuesday (Aug 13th) morning, called an agent and he had no idea why it wasn't marked as Complete and that I cannot apply for a passport until that happened so he sent an urgent message to the...

How long did it take to change to complete? I am in the same boat.

Got my oath letter yesterday. Below is my timeline: Location: Montreal, QC App type: Single Physical Presence Days - 1129 days Application Sent - Dec 23, 2018 Application Received - Dec 31, 2018 AOR - March 6, 2019 In Process - April 23, 2019 Test Invite - May 6, 2019 Test Date - June 17, 2019...

Hi all, I haven't been very active in the forum during my citizenship process but below is my timeline for the spreadsheet stats: Location: Montreal, QC App type: Single Physical Presence Days - 1129 days Application Sent - Dec 23, 2018 Application Received - Dec 31, 2018 AOR - March 6, 2019...

I felt the test was just an objective way to assess the applicant's language proficiency since most of the questions could be answered with common sense after reading the Discovery Canada guide.

I moved to Quebec 6 months after getting EE PR landing in BC. I applied for citizenship this year in Montreal after ~1.5 years of living and working here; already got my test and interview done (approved according to the interviewer) and I wasn't questioned about it. I felt the questions were...

Weird: I re-visited my (approved and closed) application and the "i" in the document upload section changed from only the bio page (at the time I applied) to every page with a stamp or visa, maybe they changed it again. I see this way more often than I would like to: seriously taking into...

What does the "i" under the "Instructions" column in the Documents upload page say?

This is what the PPR e-mail says: "If you do not have a mailing address in Canada or the U.S.A, or if you are unable to submit the required documentation for you or your accompanying family members to the addresses below, please send an email to us at CPC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca so that we can...

It gets cancelled after you do the landing, before that you can still go out and re-enter Canada as a temporary resident even if your immigrant visa and CoPR are already issued.

Don't believe them: I insist it is a gazillion and blame an integer overflow for not being shown in applicants' profiles. Two gazillion for you because you also went to KSA.

Mine was sent to the PO Box and somebody signed for it. I would suggest to give it until Monday/Tuesday to start worrying; the cohort of people who sent the passport the same week as I did didn't see any movement in the applications until ~ 8-10 days later (2nd Monday after they received the...

Did you get the "signature required" option?

Mine was scanned in black and white; why would they even want a color version anyway if the document itself is monochromatically printed?

I believe that's part of the old ECAS system that has become obsolete since the introduction of Express Entry; just send the case-specific inquiry as Stanlee suggested.

As a PR you are entitled to live and work everywhere in Canada as long as you want; no issue whatsoever about your SIN (you have to apply for it in a Service Canada office), PR card or citizenship. It's just an issue of convincing the immigration officer when you do the landing that you are not...

True, sorry. I had something else in mind.

CIC won't kick you out of the pool but, since you no longer qualify for any immigration stream (CEC, FSW, or FST), you won't get invited to apply. If you do get invited to apply while you are 37 and then turn 38 before you submit your application, here is what my ITA said: "Note: If you had a...

Work experience is experience regardless of the nature of the contract, the permanent vs contractual/seasonal I think only plays a role when claiming the 600 points for LMIA (don't trust me on this one, I applied with 454 points).
