    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Do we need to include Work Visas that were not used? My company processed an employment visa for a South east asian country, which I did not eventually use.

    Flagpoling at Sarnia

    I flagpoled at Sarnia last Saturday without any issues. I did spend more than an hour in the traffic on the bridge getting into the US and in the US CBP office to get the administrative denial form.

    I'm currently on a work permit, living in GTA. I received my COPR and intend to land this weekend at one of the Niagara crossings.
