Just curious to know who will ask for the gap explanation ? Do you mean I need to include it while applying for citizenship ? Just to let you know, India does not have have a concept of true dual citizenship although an workaround known as OCI (overseas citizen of India) exists and the Indian...

My Indian passport would expire soon and there are only 8 months to apply for my Canadian citizenship (considering C6 revisions) will be based soon. I know there is a 1 year processing time between applying for the Citizenship and taking the oath. However if I do not have to travel out, can I...

thanks snitin11. I understand name change at ServiceOntario can be done only after one has stayed over 12 months in Ontario. I am not sure if a short (2 weeks to US / India) travel in between will impact this pre-requisite ? Also there are 3 forms for Adult name change Child name change Change...

@snitin11 your thread and constant updates here has been the most complete and successful thread here on this subject. Just one + a follow-on question.

You are expected to include a Filled in ARAMEX return slip that has a TRACKING NUMBER when you submitted with the passport. You would use that tracking number to check if the passports have left CIC-AUH on the aramex website. If I know CIC, they will not send email for any such thing

Any accompanying Medicines; Food; Clothing etc for personal use NEED NOT be declared anywhere. They do not have a significant commercial value.

Doc2015, One combined B4 is enough per family. NOT separately. However, consider the following I had one "Good Accompanying" form and I used more than one form for 'Good to Follow' as they would come from different locations; different time frames, also on two separate names (both adult...

I used UPS Cargo to ship goods to Canada. Once the goods landed, they emailed me the necessary documents from the Cargo clearance as the goods were personal effects. I printed the same (Bill of lading) along with ORIGINAL PP; ORIGINAL STAMPED B4 and reached CBSA cargo terminal behind the...
