Indeed.

What does citizenship have to do with any of those things? They are based on legal residency, not citizenship.

I can't see how IRCC can obstruct OP's citizenship application because of misrepresentation someone else committed on a completely different application. The misrepresentation, to the extent that it exists, is the other party's not the OP's. From the way the OP explains it, he is a victim of the...

No, just make sure you don't do something to become a resident before submitting the forms like changing your driver's license. And retain some proof of your residence abroad and the time period you were away. Do you have a vehicle you are bringing in? If so, see the voluminous literature...

Yes, possibly.

This is Canada, not the United States: thehill.com/regulation/court-battles/355146-aclu-sues-customs-homeland-security-over-id-check-on-domestic-flight

It depends on when you develop residential intent, I think. Technically, you should present the goods to follow form when you first enter Canada with the intent to set up a residence. You could probably accomplish this by flag poling at the US border after you have decided you want to become a...

It is regular standard practice for new immigrants to give a friend or relative's address at landing to facilitate the receipt of a a PR card. This has been recommended on this forum for years. Providing a mailing address is not the same as declaring that as your residence. In fact, IRCC...

Possibly when that entry was programmed into the system?

Check out ABF U-Pack. They drop off a trailer at your house. You load it. They haul it to your knew location. You unpack it. They pick the trailer up. Works for most major metro areas in North America. Cost like $1200 ten years ago. Prices may have gone up since.

I don't know about you, but my instinct when dealing with customs is to get it done as fast as possible and get the heck out of there. If they stamp my passport, fine. If they don't, I am not doing anything that is going to prolong my interaction with them any longer than necessary. You can...

Are you landing as a federal PR? Do you have a CSQ? Does your application indicate a destination city? You can give an address anywhere in Canada, except I wouldn't give one inside Quebec if you don't have a CSQ and I wouldn't give one in Quebec if you don't have one. If you indicated a city of...

I would agree on getting competent legal advice prior to making travel plans. Of course, the key word there is competent. I would think though that it would be very unlikely for CIC to pursue a revocation action for misrepresentation in these circumstances as there are many subjective issues...

OP needs to make sure they actually qualify for Canadian citizenship and that they will not violate their PR residency obligations before oath. As for living in the US: No, you just can't live in the US on a Canadian passport. I imagine whatever visa you have to live in the US will need to be...

You CANNOT lose your Canadian citizenship because you returned to a country you previously claimed refugee status from. You CAN lose Canadian citizenship if you committed material misrepresentation or fraud on your citizenship application or in any previous applications upon which your...

Why do people freak out about small things like this? Nothing will happen on the application in two weeks and even if it did, OP is there to get the mail. Sometimes, it is OK to R-E-L-A-X.

Under what class are you immigrating? Do you need to show proof of funds at landing?

As long as you are actually a resident of Canada that would probably work, but be advised that the CBP officer could determine you are actually a US resident despite your declarations if there is evidence of residential ties or residential intent in the US.

US customs regulations on that are less clear to me, but you might run into the same problem as in the other direction. As a US resident, CBP might balk at you possessing and using a Canadian car in the US and might want you to reimport it into the US and pay appropriate duties and taxes. Some...

She can't. Not legally at least. She would be a Canadian resident and the Customs Act specifically forbids allowing a resident to use a non-imported conveyance. As the owner of the vehicle, you would be the one committing the violation and subjecting your car to impound or seizure if caught. If...
