    After Oath....

    I can vaguely remember getting a congratulatory letter from the local MP and that was months after the oath. There is nothing else to do after the oath, only apply for the passport if you need one. CIC will do its job to update other government agencies about your naturalization.

    2 year cap for TFW's - is there a cooling off period?

    Hi folks. Does anybody know or have read the new rules about the 2 year cap for a Temporary Foreign Worker? From what I understand, after 2 years the TFW must leave Canada because that is the new limit set by the government. After that, does it say anywhere in the new rules if there is a...

    Filipino permanent residents to Toronto please share experiences here

    I live in Alberta, but perhaps my answers can help. - I purchased my ticket through a travel agent. This is the easiest way. - Bring what you need for your initial settlement. Clothes, shoes, and anything that has sentimental value to you that has reasonable bulk and weight. Remember you are...

    So let me get this straight - CIC now has its own maximum number of applications per year, just like the way US does?

    renewing pr card with a criminal record

    Unless you are planning a trip abroad in the near future, you do not have to renew your PR card. An expired PR card does not equate to an "expired PR Status". You will remain a PR even if have lost your PR card or if you hold on to an expired card indefinitely. I don't see any questions in the...

    Landing in Calgary?

    The only thing left for you is finding a direct flight from the Philippines to Calgary, which I doubt there is. I am only aware of the only direct flight to any point in Canada from Manila is Philippine Airlines, which lands at Vancouver.

    Please Help!! Question Regarding Landing!!

    I'm sorry I do not understand what jason111 is trying to say. Once you land and officially become a PR, your immigrant visa will become invalid. You can fly out of Canada anytime after you land. However there are some things you need to be aware of: 1. To return as a PR by air, your PR card or...

    WANT TO VISIT PHILIPPINES...

    I believe, in the marriage certificate, both of your names are printed on it (i.e. your wife's maiden name), so it proves you are both married. I would expect that's acceptable at the POE. If she changes her name then I think she would have to apply to make some changes to her passport, etc...

    WANT TO VISIT PHILIPPINES...

    Hi Murphy: Since you are married to a Philippine citizen, you can be a beneficiary of what is called the "Balikbayan VISA" through your wife, which can be availed at a Philippine point of entry and you can stay in the Philippines for up to one year (renewable). Check the info in this site...

    How to apply for Canadian citizenship from outside Canada?

    Okay back to aniador's question... You have to be in Canada to apply for citizenship. Applying through your son won't look good on you to CIC - they are wary of applicants returning to Canada only for their test or oath because it shows signs of irregularities. If they suspect an irregularity...

    Am i going to have problems entering Canada to live with bf for 6 months?

    Like adubrovs said, you are allowed to stay up to six months as a visitor in Canada - Immigration has no concern of what you do while in Canada as long as you don't break our laws (including working illegally). I know many people from non-visa exempt countries who stay longer than six months...

    Manila V.O. - Waiting for the Passport with the Visa

    TIP lang po: Para mas masarap ang lipad papuntang Vancouver and you're taking PAL, book the Mondays-Wednesdays-Fridays PAL flight to Vancouver. You'll be riding a brand new Boeing 777 instead of the ageing Airbus A340-300 that runs on Tuesdays-Thursdays-Saturdays. :)

    IELTS Academic Test is allowed now

    Well it's good that the Academic test results are acceptable. Unless the Academic test results would give more points over the General Test, I don't see the point of an applicant challenging himself more where he can get the same benefits from an easier test.

    TRV application instructions do not seem concise.

    You have good memory. Yes, they are all from the Philippines, and I just printed those forms you pointed me to. Yes, I would not have discovered those other forms on my own because I only visited the main CIC page, so thanks to you again! I gotta give you a good rating LOL. My mother is going to...

    TRV application instructions do not seem concise.

    Thanks for clearing that up, job_seeker! So I think essentially my mother just needs to put her name and no one else in those fields as she is widowed. PMM advised me that she does not need to put my father's name as she will enter herself as widow. I asked about this because I didn't want my...

    TRV application instructions do not seem concise.

    Hello all: Sometimes instructions can be subject for debate. I've been reading these two paragraphs from the instruction guide for the Temporary Resident Visa for some time: "Do my spouse or common-law partner and dependent children need to apply separately? "Your spouse or common-law partner...
