    Test on 8/28...however...

    Hi, Does your test invite say how many guests you can have? Mine clearly stated that should I get invited for oath, I can only bring 1 guest! After my interview, the officer briefed me as well and mentioned that when you come for your oath you can either come by yourself or bring 1 guest only...

    Thank you! :) Answers above :) I don't want to scare you, there are plenty of easy questions in there as well, but overall it's not a piece of cake and you do need to know the book!

    March 2015 Citizenship Applicants

    Passed my test today in the morning in Kitchener office. Please read the book carefully as the test is similar but not as easy as the online tests. If you just memorize those online answers, you'll get confused, try to understand how the government works and create a story line when you study...

    PR card lost, what's the expiry date for the replacement card?

    My initial card was dated 2009-2104, lost it in early 2010. The new card was issued within 2 weeks and valid from 2010-2015. We requested for urgent processing as we had to leave and it was granted.

    PR card lost, what's the expiry date for the replacement card?

    Yes, I talk from experience! :) I lost my first card within the first year while I was abroad. Got a travel document, came back, did the whole nine yard and got a new card valid for 5 years from the new issue date!

    PR card lost, what's the expiry date for the replacement card?

    Hi there, When you lose your card, you need to re-apply for a PR card just like you did the first time when you applied for your initial card. If your residency obligation is not under question, the card is going to be valid for 5 years from the date it's issued.

    Lost PR Card and Need Travel Document abroad (PRTD)

    Just a letter to explain why you need to go back to KSA along with a copy of your return tickets. But you need to constantly follow up with them on the phone as well. Misplace at home would not be convincing I guess. In our case, my husband lost his wallet with our cards in it and that's how we...

    AOR for Jan & Feb Applicants...

    Honestly speaking I don't blame Passion considering that some March applicants received theirs within 6 days! I too am wondering what their process is. My application was received on March 3rd and no AOR yet either which makes me think there is more to it than just opening and making sure the...

    Lost PR Card and Need Travel Document abroad (PRTD)

    We lost our PR cards within the first year as well. You need to create a police report and make sure to translate that to English. Then contact the Canadian consulate where you live for them to issue a one time entry Visa in your passport to travel back to Canada. Once you are here, you need to...

    Feb 2015 citizenship applicants

    I have the same question. My application was received on March 3rd and they seem to be processing March applicants quite fast but I still haven't heard anything. Do they run any other checks at this point or is it just to check if the document is complete? Because if it's just a basic check then...

    stolen PR Card and need to travel soon!

    My husband and I lost our PR cards in 2010 in Dubai! Went to the embassy and got a travel document and returned to Canada. At the time we used to live in Dubai so when we re-applied, we provided all the documents and evidence that we had to return to Dubai as soon as possible and we got to pick...
