    Giving Birth In Canada As Tourist. Procedure and cost ?

    Agree. Only the child will have the right of the soil. I also read report from a local Chinese media that some parents were being investigated on their visitor visa after giving birth to their children. Since both parents are visitor visa holders, there is potential misrepresentation when the...

    Establishing credit to get a mortgage: Newcomer

    I think typically, they need 2 years of employment history or NOA (if self employed) to show enough income. https://www.canada.ca/en/financial-consumer-agency/services/mortgages/preapproval-qualify-mortgage.html They will calculate how much you can afford. (not up to you to tell them)...

    Applying Citizenship with less stay days

    Rarely is the citizenship a required status for any humanitarian grounds reasons. You can still live and stay in Canada as a PR and do not need your citizenship. So the solution is to live in Canada longer before you apply for your citizenship.

    Updating married name on citizenship application

    Did you do a legal name change? I don't think you can just "take your married name using a marriage certificate" for citizenship. After the process of official name change, then you can include document for your citizenship application. I don't think you can change name on citizenship...

    US Travel Declaration

    It's still going to take 13 weeks or so.... We may as well wait. We moved 2 years ago and no more quick border crossing trip. We usually cross after hours so to make a trip to post office, library and police station, he will need to take a day off.

    US Travel Declaration

    I don't think there is an exception for the days you need to be physically in canada. Just wait and apply until you have stayed long enough.

    Police Certificate

    This may be a silly question but do day trips to the US count as 1 day in US or not? I know that doesn't count as 1 day outside of Canada (for counting physical present days) We are getting close to the number of days because of those 1 hr gas trips... sigh... hubby ignored my warnings back...

    Gaining PR Status in Canada

    No. And even after you got married or become common law, the PR application process will take around a year. There is nothing "fast" regarding to immigration.

    need help with citizenship application

    Well, same for us. Although I told hubby many times that he needs to keep track of all his US trips years ago. He ignored me. I think it's better that he gets the i94.
