    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Hello. I haven't posted in a while because I have never recieved any communication to date from IRCC and i was advised on here that cases like mine even take years. However out of curiosity, I decided to phone IRCC a few days ago about my case. I didnt want to probe too much. I asked if my case...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Woww thanks for that info.! I'm sure going to digest it all. For now what i can say is that I'm not a resettlement refugee. I made an in-canada assylum application which granted me convention refugee status, if that is anything to go by. On the other hand my reasons for travel were stated as...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I agree I can't do much. I only called with hope that they would tell me what is going on but as you say I should not and I agree. I will carry on waiting for any communication. After all people wait for an oath for months anyway. When it hits the one year mark I will make a follow up if I...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Sorry for the long wait of 13+ months. I'm sure yours will come through soon. The reason I asked is because I recall reading that when a cessation is being initiated, they usually need to send some info to CBSA like clear photocopies of passport which was not done and i havent been asked. In my...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    Technically i broke the laws but this is not a black and white issue. I will have a chance to explain myself if it goes that far. There are many things ti consider including ones intent. I was asked what i was doing and what measures i took not to expose myself to any danger and i answered...

    Best of both worlds? To you someone returning home a total of 3 months in 8 years when you lose closest relatives is fun? Or having cancer is fun? Wow. I also dont think you know how much i have contributed to Canada, my English language skills and how much i have intergrated in the society...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I see. Thaf is of course assuming it was refered for cessation. If i give it say another week and call CIC can they tell me what course of action is being taken? Im sure CO would have indicated her next move. Can one still apply for pr card renewal or can that effect other cessation...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I need somebody's advise. Amidst all this, I'm a cancer patient who is currently seeing doctors. Does this work in my favor at all if i mention it at a later stage in case of any further proceedings they might take. At the best case scenario i was told for the next ten yrs i need to be monitored...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    You better consider seeking legal counsel. Better safe than sorry. Talking from experience. I had the chance to do so before i applied for my citizenship. A counsel friend of mine offered to write me a cover letter explaining my home country travels. I brushed it off thinking it was not...
