Zardoz! You’re terrific. Thank you once again.

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate it. As for dual passports, are there any issues using Canadian to enter Canada or American to enter US? The only thing I can think of is if they record entry/exit dates and so if you enter US with American passport, it won’t ever register you as leaving.

I figure this is the best place to ask this question. Can I get dual citizenship if I am an American Citizen? I've been a PR for over 5 years now, so I am eligible to apply, but my family in the US seems to think this is not possible for Americans to gain Canadian citizenship without ditching...

Hi, My friend in Uganda is currently finishing up their studies in medicine, after which he will be a certified doctor, with surgery as a focus, in Uganda. I wanted to inquire now rather than later to see what process it would take to bring him to Canada, and if he would be able to transfer...

Hmmm. I plan on keeping my U.S. citizenship. I mean, it's part of my identity.

why would you renounce your US citizenship upon gaining Canadian citizenship? That's not a requirement.

thanks for the help! and yes, they do need passports. we just got ours through the regular passport canada service.

anyone know if there is a time-frame for getting my daughter American citizenship?

dang it. really was hoping to avoid the trip to Calgary.

that blows! i'm more than annoyed that it looks like i actually need to show up in Calgary with my daughter and paperwork. 10 hour drive from where I live. Is the Consular Record of Birth Abroad the same thing?

Hey gang! So I spent a LOT of time in the family sponsorship forum, now I am a happy Canadian PR! I really have no idea where to post this so I thought I would start here. I am an American Citizen, and I was wondering how I go about getting my daughter American citizenship. She was born in...

Well people, I have been very quiet since I received PR. You can imagine that less anxiety mean less venting of frustration to you all! BUT! THE DAY HAS COME! My PR card arrive today. I look terrible in it, that's how you know it's authentic :) The journey is done. I can't believe it...

sharonin, your case is very specific and has quite a lot of moving parts. In your situation I would highly suggest getting an immigration lawyer.

CONGRATS mikekmk!!!! I got my landing letter in the mail after already seeing the landing interview set on ECAS. The Winnipeg office is oddly placed at the Forks of all places. BUT there was no one there and I was in an out in probably 20 minutes. PM me if you have any questions. SUPER...

To be honest, you can have $0.00 showing in your bank account and still sponsor. The government just wants to ensure you aren't on welfare. That being said, they also want you to know that the sponsor is on the hook for the person being sponsored for 3 years iirc. That being said, my wife...

Thank you all for your kind words :) That should be fine. They just need the receipt number. Ours was already in their system, but I was in the middle of pulling it up in my email on my phone when they told me they had it. I would apply for the Travel Document.

awesome congrats!

Yes you can apply outland and stay in Canada. Shouldn't matter about my loans. My wife sponsored me and had student loan debt. She just can't be on welfare. Sorry Benni, no idea about the pdf reader issue :(

I am proud to announce I am now a Canadian PR!!!! Yipppeeeeeeeeee!!!! This was a long road to travel and I can't believe we finally made it. My wife and I couldn't stop dancing, hugging and tearing up. I even began to choke back tears singing along to Oh Canada at the beginning of a Jets game...

do I need to bring my daughter to the landing interview? she's Canadian and the landing letter just mentions the sponsor must be there, but not our kids. the thought of having my 16mo old in a lobby for 2+ hours is daunting.
