    canadian citizenship

    Most likely there was a gap. You probably got your new passport well after the expiry of the last one. So there was a time period when you had no travel document. If that is the case all they need is a letter explaining that you did not have a travel document during the time, and that you...

    Is it really worth it?

    Definitely worth it! We had a 9-10 years in the US, returned to India for 5 years and then moved to Canada for good. It takes a while to get adjusted, but then it is worth all the trouble. Canada is great place to live, nice people and progressive...taxes make all this happen, I guess...

    Indian PCC

    India has no centralized database to check for any criminality. I don't see what is done before they issue a PCC.

    Any "Senior" Applicants?

    You still have to be called for the interview. Yes, it is faster on that day, coz the others need to take the test before being called for the interview. Seniors are called straight for the interview and you could be out of the office faster...

    Can I apply for Citizenship even if my PR card may expire in that time

    If you don't plan to leave the country after the PR card expiry, just go for the citizenship application. You are a PR regardless of the expiry of the card.

    How different are the online tests to the real deal?

    Online tests help. Lots of questions on the real test are very similar to the ones that appear on the online Richmond library... But then there would always be new questions that were from the book and seem to be so different from the ones you are used to seeing. It would be probably...

    Delay of the Oath

    No point in trying to delay the oath. The travel part will all work out. Canadian passport you can have within a couple of weeks...There is really no urgency in trying to get the OCI. OCI takes time, but the visa is quick. Surrender of Indian passport has a grace period. Worst case, You...

    Decision Made after Test?

    @sidestep4u, No PM needed. I just said that eCAS doesn't quite reflect the file well. You could be well in line for a test. If it gets further delayed, you could order an ATIP...

    language for citizenship

    Oh well, yes they don't accept TOEFL neither do they accept a LINC score...I said just the score. They need a certificate that you attended LINC classes to get an acceptable LINC score. All this is free of cost. Yes, but getting an initial score from LINC (free) is not enough. You need the...

    Decision Made after Test?

    After test, my eCAS never updated while everyone else in the forum kept updating their date of DM which was mostly a few days after the test... I requested an ATIP, and then soon enough got the date for oath, the ATIP revealed that the decision to grant was made on the date of the test and the...

    English exam for dependent

    The formal proof would be University transcripts in English, let's say from India, from a University. Since the transcripts/ degree certificate does not explicitly say that the instruction was in English, you include a letter from the University (I don't consider this is a formal), so if you...

    language for citizenship

    They don't accept TOEFL results and neither do they take a score from LINC even if it is way high.. from the CIC site "We will accept third-party test results as proof of your language ability if it is from one of the following organizations: CELPIP General (Canadian English Language...

    English exam for dependent

    What I meant was this along with the certificate from the University that all the education was in the official language..., I have also said the easiest option is to get the third party score and nothing else...the meaning changes when you take away sentences and see it in isolation... context...

    Physical Presence forgot absence

    I don't think anybody had to resend pictures just for having forgotten to have names on the back of the photos... they say that just to make their lives easier when processing files, I would think. Just my opinion, though...

    English exam for dependent

    The absolute requirement for the IELTS exam is for the PR. For citizenship you could get away with other ways to prove language skills. Yes, a letter from the University helps. If you have a current job in Canada, a letter from your boss and or your colleagues as to your proficiency in the...
