I wanted to double check - decision made status on ecas. Is there any chance that I would still be asked for fingerprinting or any more documents or am I now considered to be in the clear and just waiting on oath ceremony information?

My test invitation came by snail mail and there was a photocopied sheet saying to bring all passports and travel docs (current and expired). However, throughout the process we have just been required to provide passports for the validity period (5) years. I presume that I should go with the...

Are people generally requesting their GCMS notes during the citizenship process? Or not so much?

Is there any pattern in the request for fingerprints? (I'm thinking maybe current citizenship?) or is it just random?

I've written variations of this in a gazillion responses and thought maybe it's good to post it in a central location: There are 650+ applications for October. Most other months have below 100. Common sense dictates that CIC is inundated with applications. Therefore things are probably...

I used my client ID to try to get into ECAS, presuming I would still have an account from my PR application. However, I cannot get in - is this normal? Do we get a new client ID?

Is it safe to assume that the processing office assigned to your case would be the one that is physically closest to where you live / applied from?

curious if anyone used their A Level certificate as their language proof?

Hey all - my friend applied for PR and landed at Fort Erie on 15th July 2017. During the PR process, we booked a trip for a long weekend to the US - it's Florida so driving is obviously not an option. She has not yet received her PR Card. Her MP has called CIC and there was no news...

Hi all I applied for name change in October and didn't receive acknowledgment - I know it got there as I used tracking but now that they are working from files in October (according to the website) I am wondering if I should have heard before now. I have checked ecas but they only list my old...

I landed in January 2014 so not even completed one year but need to change my name on my PR Card to reflect my married name. I have all my Canadian docs changed over (driving license, health card etc) but not my UK passport yet - in the PR application, I have to send additional docs to support...

Out of curiosity - I know that I can meet the RO even when abroad if I am with my Canadian husband however if I am with my Canadian born son, can those days count?

Hi! I became a Pr in January 2014 so won't be eligible for citizenship for a while now (boo). However my Canadian born husband and I are considering moving to the US for work purposes - I know that I can retain my Pr status as I'm married to a citizen but do my days with him also count towards...

So I need to change my PR card to reflect my married name My passport is in my maiden name still as I need it to travel - however, can I keep my old PR Card until my new one arrives and travel on that (using the maiden name passport too of course) or do I have to send in my old card with my...

Hi all Wondering how long roughly visa exempt applicants have between decision made and COPR? My ecas changed to decision made on Christmas Day so over a week ago but obviously I'm expecting some delay due to non-mail days. Any other visa exempts waiting on COPR?!

I am currently waiting for my PR to come through and plan on beginning work on February 3, 2014. (I already have a decision Made status) I am currently on EI and will obviously inform them immediately on commencing work. However I am pregnant and due in June. I know that I need 600 hours of...

So, since joining this forum I've noticed a lot of repeat questions, errors, behaviours, and the whatnot. I started writing them down and collecting them and now I am nearing the end of my process, I figured it would be good to share: Remember though: these are just my observations and...

So my ECAS went from meds received on Monday to Decision Made on Wednesday (dec 25) I am from a visa exempt country so am wondering typically how long it takes for COPR to come through? I've seen mixed timelines during the strike but hopefully it's a bit quicker now :)

So my lawyer has advised that my medical request has a 30 day deadline - along with the RPRF etc I believe 30 days is standard for RPRF and biodata but for medical? I always thought it was 60 days The medical cover sheet says 60 days - there is nothing in the email body. The email body for...

Hi all This might be a dumb question but here goes anyway :P After landing at a border and seeing the immigration officer, is it at THAT point you are a permanent resident? I am not currently working but want to start work as soon as possible so I'm not sure if I can work at that point or if...
