Seems like the activity on this thread slowed after the October guys got their Oath letters. How about starting a new thread for November test takers? Cheers...

Here you go, refer to this page http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/pr-card/apply-how.asp#urgent Refer to this link too http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/perm-card.asp They're currently processing applications received Aug 29 2011. If you're unsure about you qualifying under...

Very well put Leon...Bravo...

I don't remember receiving an acknowledgement letter. But I did get an update on the web site and then a letter once it was ready for pick-up. You may want to call CIC and check. Cheers...

Odin, perhaps you've had much luck but I've in fact met immigrants who came to Canada and started dropping by HR departments, meeting them face to face, following up over the phone and all to no profit. Some of them had to face tough financial situations and start with odd blue collar jobs. I...

Just a suggestion, carry your documents (at least the originals) with you. Don't trust shipping companies for such valuable assets that are next to impossible to replace (esp. if you studied in India), they loose stuff all the time. Good luck with the relocation!!! Cheers...

Lio, in your case the bigger the bundle the better. The thing is, if you don't submit all this information they'll give you the RQ and perhaps an appointment with the judge which'll delay the process. But having said that, even after sending all the papers up-front they can pretty much still...

I would suggest you to do the same as Ashok says. Be honest, always emphasize your strong points. Your boyfriend has been studying in Madagascar and has vested interest to return and complete his studies. Good luck...

Nothing can justify misrepresentation..."It's like saying, I lied because I didn't have any other option. But we forget, there's always the option to not lie." Be extremely careful, as falsifying to CIC is (i believe) a federal offense and you and your brother in law could potentially get in...

Well my case was much simpler than yours. I've my own incorporated Canadian company, with continuous flow of income. So I didn't have to provide any additional documentation over and above the required documents. But I guess if you're self-employed, you may go the extra mile and submit copies...

With the banks it's all how you present yourself, and whether they are meeting their goals (or monthly/weekly targets). The day I became a PR I opened an account with TD. I had this account for 3 years and even though I lived abroad I had a percentage of my salary wired to this account. I also...

Hello Reena, I'm not sure if you're applying with a job in hand or not. But the first thing I did once I had my Immigrant Visa stamped was to start applying for jobs. Once I got 2-3 interviews lined up, it was then that I decided when to fly. Reason being, once you've a job, finding a place to...

Lana, I understand your situation. While getting PR might be easy, but many forget that's only one problem. The real problems start after you land in Canada. I would suggest continue working in your current field. Start building your network in advertising. Look up city sponsored programs. I...

Thank you guys. I applied for citizenship last year in Feb. I believe it was last week of Feb 2011 when CIC sent me a letter acknowledging receipt of my application. I wrote the test on 4th Nov and invited for the Oath in Jan. Fofo, I've been invited to the oath ceremony next week. Contrary...

This was a few years ago...But I had applied for PR card renewal about 9-10 months before expiry and I got mine in time. Cheers...

Yes, you can apply for both PR renewal (provided you qualify) and Citizenship (again, provided you qualify) at the same time. I did the same and there was no confusion. As for the Citizenship situation, I would suggest sending as much proof as you can along with your application to avoid RQ...

This was a while back. But when I had to send an update to CIC (with regards to my job, etc.) while my PR application was being processed, I sent a fax message to the CIC Office processing my application. There's an automatic confirmation of receipt for a fax transmission. Hope this helps. Cheers

Rupali, I received the notice to appear for Oath ceremony today in the mail. I hope you also received it by now. Cheers PS: I must say, this forum was very helpful in keeping my sanity. I did not follow through the citizenship process until the test. However, since the test I couldn't think...

I'm waiting for an update too. Appeared for the citizenship test on Nov 4th. Seems like last week of tests conducted during last week of October are being processed now. So, first week of Nov should happen anytime soon. Cheers...
