Hi all I know there have been many posts relating to this question, but i think my case differs a little bit. I am a PR of Canada but I'm married to a Canadian Citizen. After I apply for my citizenship, both my husband (a canadian citizen) and we would like to leave the country for a long...

All makes clear sense now! Thanks everyone :) :D

If the days are not counted towards citizenship, I assume they are then counted towards the 'basic residence' requirements? i.e. so that I do not lose my PR status? Im a little confused. I assume that the basic residence means i meet the requirements to retain my PR, and I assume that physical...

Thanks Pinklady...thats what I thought too, but just need to be 100% certain that this would be fine. I will contact CIC to double check. Thanks so much :)

Hi guys I have been residing in Canada since November 2010. Prior to this, I was living in New Zealand with my husband (who is a Canadian Citizen). I received my Canadian PR in March 2011 via the Family Class. My husband and I will need to return to New Zealand in November 2012 due to his work...

Hi guys I had my landing interview this morning at the Etobicoke office in Toronto and am now officially a Permanent Resident! However, they have made a mistake in my Confirmation of PR. My passport only has a "Full name" section and so my given name(s) and surname are written all as one. I...

Hi guys I received my PR visa and COPR a few weeks ago. I have been residing in Canada for the last few months on a TRV so booked an appoinment/interview with CIC to do all my landing procedures within Canada (so i dont have to go through the trouble of leaving the country and re-entering). I...

Hi guys I have just received my Confirmation of PR and PR visa (via family class sponsorship)! I have booked my appointment with CIC to register my PR and become a 'landed immigrant' (instead of leaving and re-entering the country as im currently on a TRV and am already in Canada). Anyway my...

Reason for my concern/question is because i read that applicants who apply for a Visitors visa to the states from a country in which they are not a citizen or resident in is most likely to be rejected. I would not be officially a PR in canada yet (would not have registered at the border yet)...

Hi guys So im about to receive my COPR with Canada (passport was requested a few days ago and i should receive my PR visa with COPR) in a few days time. I know that an option to officially become a landed immigrant/official PR is to land at the border of Canada. I am already in Canada on a TRV...

Abedelia, thanks... Have a couple more questions: I plan to flagpole at Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls... does anyone know if i would be able to perform a U-Turn before reaching the US border? I read i various places that a lot of people have crossed the Canadian side, and then turned back...

Another question i forgot to ask... I plan to flagpole at Rainbow Bridge at Niagara Falls... does anyone know if i would be able to perform a U-Turn before reaching the US border? I read i various places that a lot of people have crossed the Canadian side, and then turned back before hitting the...

Thanks so much! :)

Hi guys Just a few questions on the process of flagpoling.. I am about to receive my PR via spousal sponsorship, but am already currently residing in Canada on a visitors visa. I plan on going through the flagpoling process, 1. Am i able to do this at anytime at my convenience? 2. My husband...

Photography work... but to extend a photography portfolio and to do it without pay

Hi all I on a TRV at the moment (PR currently in process and in final stage), but I was wondering if working was allowed as long as I received no payment? i.e. volunteer work etc. Thanks alot Phe.

Hi all I am currently in Canada on a visitors visa. I have a PR visa in progress (my husband is a Canadian citizen). I received a letter a few days ago from immigration informing me that my PR application is in its final stage and requesting for my passport so that they can provide me with the...

Hi all My husband is a Canadian Citizen and is sponsoring me for PR status. We both currently reside in New Zealand. Anyway, we are in the process of looking at the FINANCIAL EVALUATION form which he has to fill in. A bit confused what the OPTION C PRINTOUT is? My husband, although a Canadian...

Hi there Thanks - luckily we have not submitted the forms yet. But i would have thought if our marriage cert was used, they would be able to put two and two together? Also, i sat the medical examination under my married name (they took a copy of my marriage certificate and passport with maiden...

Correct :)
