Yes RQ for citizenship application should be inevitable if one's number of residence days in Canada only barely exceeds the minimum required number. As to proof of Canada days, getting a Nexus card may be useful. The Nexus card systems contain records of entering Canada and exiting Canada for USA.

Hi DEEPCUR, Would you mind sharing if you know anyone whose citizenship applications are rejected because of not enough residence days resulting from only driving back to Canada on weekends? To knowledge, if someone drives back before 12 am on Friday and drive to USA after 12 am on Sunday, 4...

Very sorry to hear that you got RQ. To my knowledge, some of the stuff you may consider to bring a) credit card statement showing your purchase inside Canada (grocery, restaurant, gas etc) b) your detailed travel history to USA (available at https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home) c) any air...

Hi screech339, Thank you for your information about car import and TN visa. I found a couple of people in the comments of this article http://thisbeautifuldayblog.com/import-car-from-canada-to-usa/# working on TN visa and trying to import their car into USA. It seems that importing a car to...

Based on my knowledge, it is very difficult to finish all steps of Green card application for those born in Mainland China or India due to the long pending time for I485 submission after I140 approval. Basically, a) submission of I140 (petition for a green card) shows a person's intent to...

Both USA and Canada border agency have access to Nexus card trips. So no problem. Just be honest about all your trips.

Yes, under C24, 183 minimum day per qualification year should be met. This is exactly what makes it hard to qualify for citizenship while working in USA. Some people will also say it is unfair since anyone landing after July 2nd can never make the year in which they landed to qualify for...

Yes, creating second class citizens is a major problem with C24. People with dual citizenships are discriminated in some sense.

Very glad to find this post. Please count me in for those who wish to get Canadian citizenship while working in USA. My situations are much tougher. I accepted a job on H1B in Connecticut and I plan to drive back to Quebec on weekends to get 4 out of 7 days Canadian residence in the near...

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/news/2017/06/bill_c-6_receivesroyalassent0.html Applicants must be physically present in Canada for three out of five years before applying for citizenship. Applicants may count each day they were physically present in Canada as a...

Hi screech339, Yes, I agree that paying CT state tax is inevitable. Due to the fact that USA has more job opportunities with generally better salaries, I think a lot of people are in a similar situation of working in the USA while seeking Canadian citizenship. The new law Bill C6 makes this...

Physical Presence means staying in Canada physically. Residence Requirements are generally the same as Physical Presence Requirements. Residence Requirements are mandatory for renewal of PR status (2 years of every 5 years) and for citizenship application (which will be 3 years of out of 5...

Hi links18, harirajmohan, screech339, and Natan, I plan to drive between Connecticut and Quebec on every weekend (4.5 hours driving) to accumulate time for Canadian citizenship while working in Connecticut on H1B, starting from later this year or early next year. I have the following plan to...

Hi Natan, Thanks so much for your tremendously hepful advice! Following your suggestion '3. Register and insure your car in Canada.', would you mind sharing that if it is possible to keep your car registered in Canada while you have established residency in the USA? (for example, you work in...

Landed on Point Roberts - Boundary Bay Border Crossing on Sep 29 :)

My return tracker got activated yesterday :) PP was delivered to Ottawa on the 12th, Mycic approved on the 17th.

You can enter Canada from USA just by CoPR only. The Canadian border officers will not prevent you. No PR card is needed. http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/entry-to-canada-from-usa-without-pr-card-only-corp-t224502.0.html The tricky thing is that there is a...
