    Name change before or after citizenship application?

    I'd like to move my last name to my middle name, and add a new last name. Example: if my name is Tim Smith now, I'd like my future name to be Tim Smith Johnson. I plan on applying for citizenship within the next few months (assuming the 3/5 law comes into effect soon). Should I do the name...

    Bill C-6: Senate stage

    I don't understand why citizenship revocation is being debated with residency requirements as part of the same bill. These are 2 separate issues. Sigh.

    Do I need a police clearance certificate (PCC) for citizenship application also?

    I suffered to get a PCC from BLS / India when I applied for my PR around 3 years ago. It just took a *very* long time, and even now, I get nightmares thinking about the process. I've not lived in India (or any other country) since I came to Canada and became a PR...so is a PCC from there still...

    Change name before or after citizenship application?

    I am a PR here. I'd like to move my last name to my middle name, and add a new last name. Example: if my name is Tim Smith now, I'd like my future name to be Tim Smith Johnson. I am married to a Canadian woman, and our future child will have the new last name. So my concern is...I will likely...

    Changing last name...has anyone done this?

    I'm a male. I'd like to change my last name (as in, make it my middle name, and have my traditional family name as my new last name). Let me explain: My grandfather dropped our family name, so my current last name is actually my father's first name (I'm Indian, so this is quite common). I'd...

    Chris Alexander out of office

    Any more recent news on what the Liberals plan to do on restoring time credit? I know before the law was changed, that we had 50% of time spent before PR that would have counted towards residency requirements (e.g, 3 years before PR would mean 1.5 years counted towards residency). Would be so...

    Does Nexus card 3-year residency requirement include time before PR?

    I just became a PR few months ago, but have lived in Canada for over 3.5 years now. Can I apply for a Nexus card? I have a valid 10-year US visa too...and will have several trips back and forth to the US. I know there is a 3 year residency requirement, but it is not clear on the website that if...

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    I already got my PR card but thought of a quick post here to share with anyone who needs to travel outside Canada urgently and are still waiting for their PR cards...did not see anyone share details on how exactly it was done. I'm sure someone in the future who accesses these posts from Google...

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    Landed June 15, still no card. Called CIC and they said there's no information on printing etc (he said there appears to be no reason for delay, maybe just huge backlog, and that "no news is good news", meaning looks like no photo retaking needed or anything like that). Very frustrating...I'm...

    Waiting for PR Card after landing - add your case here

    Called CIC again..no update on my card. Agent said it will likely be mailed on or after Oct 1 because of huge backlog of applications. Any idea if I can call CIC from outside Canada? Or will it be impossible?

    No, that's why I was asking. I am going to change my return ticket to fly via US now, and drive in.
