Well, it's scary if you think taking off-the-cuff, isolated remarks from politicians that have no relevance to governance or public policy is a real form of analysis. What's wrong with admiring the fact that over the past twenty years the CPC has pulled more people out of poverty than ever...

Looking at the Grits record on fiscal issues, why don't you give them any credit for their long run from the mid-90s, during which they restored Canada's budgetary stability, saved its credit rating, repaid its debt, and put it in the best position of any OECD country to withstand the financial...

With regards to the original comment . . . restricting expat voting is an example of something that I kind of disagree with, but have come to recognize as the prerogative of a government to control. I originally felt the same way about the various legal issues around hate speech or Holocaust...

The application/AOR timeline sure is variable -- this person's application was separated from mine by one week, but their AOR is a month later. At the same time there are people who sent their applications in far later in May who have already received AOR. Are there any May applicants at all...

If you don't land by the expiry date of your PR visa, then you have not emigrated to Canada and you are not a PR. If you want to apply again, you can.

I'm not arguing it's not stupid . . . Maybe steaky is right.

Eh, remember we know our files and situations far better than the COs do. It's no different from a cop answering a call and asking a few different questions from a few different angles. You take a few whacks at a pinata and see what falls out. If nothing, no big deal. I agree with your point...

According to your earlier posts, you have both American citizenship and that of some 3rd country -- so it is possible that you would use another passport. How can you work remotely for a grocery store, as a mail deliverer, as a welder, as a clerk, as a nurse, etc.? Actually, remote jobs are...

How can boarding passes and passport stamps be accurate, when you can enter and leave the United States by land without ever having your passport stamped? When I applied for citizenship, I had to reconstruct my travels by using my wife's passport, since as a non-American her passport was...

First of all, when you land, CRA presumes that you are a resident of Canada -- that's the point of PR status, it is assumed that you're coming to live. Second, CRA will decide after that if you are a resident -- it's not something that you determine yourself, based on number of days. When you...

Yeah, CIC is pretty determined on this -- their only chance of coming is to apply on their own merits now, under the FSW or another program. It's too bad -- why didn't you include them in your application? It would have been straightforward.

Probably, Canada simply doesn't believe that a young single person from a developing country would want to go to Canada for tourism. The States is the same. They ask themselves -- what would this person possibly do here that they couldn't do better, cheaper, and more easily elsewhere? Visit...

Really, you don't have anything to worry about. At this point, one of three things will happen. 1) You'll get an oath letter. 2) They'll decide they need some more information, based on your ties abroad and possibly an informal assessment of whether you are likely to reside in Canada or...

Short answer: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Longer answer: Buddy, if you think that a citizenship application can be rejected because you have family in the States, studied there, and visited there, you don't understand Canada well enough to be a citizen. Longest answer: Your answers to the questions had...

Hey, no problem . . . I thought you seemed strangely impatient . . .

I think you're safe -- when you apply as a family, if any one application is incomplete, they return them all. Wait a few days, see what happens. I'm not sure, though -- my family's AORs were only separated by 15 minutes.

I don't really understand your question -- are you asking if there is some disadvantage to immigrating at the Detroit-Windsor border? There isn't.

Sure, you can get that letter -- but it's still a situation where, if you're crossing the border while having failed to meet your Residency Obligation -- your fate is in the hands of a single individual, who can report you or not report you. No one on this forum can tell you what that...

No one can predict what a border officer will do -- the situation you will be in is one where an individual will decide what happens to you, not a regulation. At some point, you are going to have to jump -- immigration usually requires a moment of risk . . . If you are currently licensed as...

I don't think this is completely correct -- AOR means that your application has been received AND accepted for processing. It means that the critical documents are present, the correct signatures and dates are there, and that you are going to be either accepted or refused. Processing hasn't...
