A note to future applicants!!! Do not take the status displayed in the online passport application tracker at its face value. Our status was displayed as follows for 1 day and on the next day our passports were delivered. Needless to say, we were frightened out of our wits, and were...

I took my oath yesterday along with 136 other applicants on a Zoom call. It was a mixed experience with chaos and happiness. The judge was very good although very compassionate and straightforward (he even threatened to kick a few people out who were talking non-stop during the oath or were not...

Normal is 17 months according to the IRCC website. Only a select few get FP request in order to complete the BG check, and the timeline usually varies based on the office your application is being processed at.

Glad that it worked out for you. One big disadvantage of TN visa I found is that the spouse can't work, and they'll also have to apply for a TN visa separately. That might be a problem if their occupation isn't eligible for a TN visa. I don't know how easy/difficult it is to get an L1 for them...

Thank you for taking time to give a detailed reply to my question! Much appreciated!

Thanks for your reply! Is being unable to afford housing considered a valid reason to leave? I want to make sure I have all my ducks in a row before I make this decision.
