Thank you for the responses, my partner has a contract overseas, we might try do the 183 days as holiday/remote working in Canada and commute back and forth. CIC change the rules every now and then so it would be nice to secure a passport. Thanks once again for your input.

Hi, I haven't been on the forum for a while but I hope everyone waiting for PR with me a while back had success. The CIC website states to maintain permanent residency of being present in Canada, 2 years out of 5, to renew your PR: Situation 1. Accompanying a Canadian citizen outside Canada...

Thanks, I'm in no rush for the PR card to arrive to my Canadian address. The waiting times were different on June 9th; it was over 9 weeks ago I landed, unless they're counting business days. The whole process from application received to PR took 7 months, so I'm pretty happy with that...

Hi, Sydney contacted me Tuesday 2nd June and said they had my prepaid satchel but said they couldn't find the rest of my documents. I emailed them back immediately providing them with the tracking number - once again - and the name and time it was signed for by their office the day before on...

Hi Rob_TO I sent photocopies of all pages of my passport, 2 photos; an updated information sheet as per the instructions from the CIC in Sydney. I've provided them with a 2-4 business day pre-paid satchel and sent them both an email and included a cover letter explaining the situation, asking...

Hi, I have to send my passport copies to Sydney, Australia to finalize my visa which will arrive there on Jun 1. My COPR is only valid until Jun 10, I think this is when I got my medical done which is why it's so close. Will they email me a digital document so that I can land in Canada, as...

Thanks, it was never in the request, and even though it comes in both Dutch and English the main body of the text stating it's for the purpose of a visa and Canadian immigration is in Dutch so that's why I got it translated before to cover myself. I'm going to do the same again just in case...

Hi, My Dutch police report from 24 June 2014 has expired and the CIC have requested a new one, with translation and certification which I provided before. Previously I didn't get the documents legalized or apostiled in the Netherlands but I've just seen this: - it won't let me post the link...

Hi, On the CIC website it says to maintain PR: If you have been a permanent resident for less than five (5) years you must show that you will be able to meet the minimum of 730 days of physical presence in Canada within five (5) years of the date you became a permanent resident. OPTION 1...

Hi, I'm in Canada on a UK passport with 6 months visitor status. 30 days before it expires I'm going to apply for an extension via paper application. I'm doing it this way instead of online because the waiting times are longer and I will have the legal implied status for a longer period of...

Hi Kriv, My reference was to the difference in date for when UPS confirmed the delivery to CIC for my Spouse visa and the date CIC emailed me stating they received my documents. UPS says Oct 9th 2014 and CIC said Nov 17th 2014, so possibly my documents were waiting to be opened which is when...

Thanks for the response. I've been looking through the CIC website and saw that Online applications for extending "visitor status" CIC are working on Dec 2nd 2014 applications with 44 working days current processing. I was considering going with a Paper application, this is because CIC are...

Following on from this, I'm in Canada on a 6 month visitor visa entering on a UK passport. Can I enter the USA for 2 weeks then return for an additional 6 months? I am a dual citizen of Great Britain and Australia and hold 2 passports. My wife who is Canadian will start to be assessed as a...
