    2017 PGP Applicants

    I am planning to apply for my in-laws as well as parents in 2017. I guess all forms will remain same except the financial form IMM5768E. I would suggest completing all the latest forms as available on the CIC site and then when newer version is available then just copy over the information from...

    My apologies for not being clear enough. My application status hasn't changed since the first time it was in In Process. e.g. AOR => In Process and never changed since then. I cleared all my cookies and tried again but still the same status since last couple of months.

    Hi Steve, I am in the same situation as you are. We applied for citizenship with degree certificates from India as language proof. We didn't require IELTS when applying for PR since we took AINP (Alberta provincial program) route. I will post updates in the August applicants tracker. Cheers! Tapak

    Effective date of Bill C24

    You are correct. As we look back in time, all these dates were nothing more than speculation or fear mongering. Just try to look from administration perspective. The provisions of this bill have been introduced in a piecemeal manner; provisions that are financially beneficial, easy to implement...

    Effective date of Bill C24

    Wow. It seems that 4/6 years residency measure might be implemented in a similar manner - one fine day :(

    Effective date of Bill C24

    That's an interesting note. So technically, anyone arriving on or after 1st July may not be able to count remaining days in that year towards residency for citizenship application.
