So happy for you!!! I hope you are no longer checking your Ecas every 15 minutes, haha!

Oh my gosh, this, hahahahaa! I was going to type a long-winded answer the length of my senior thesis for this poster but this sums it up so well! LOVE IT.

So dpenabill is an American-Canadian. Pretty cool to know!! Thank you for all your posts that were super helpful! We are so glad to have you here!! (Btw, out of curiosity, what do people mean when they refer to the "dpenabill virus"? I can only assume it is said in a loving and nice way and I...

@ADMINS Correction on my IP date: it is actually 2018/02/13 instead of 2018/02/14. I must have gotten too excited at the sight of IP yesterday and didn't read the actual IP date. Merciiii!

What? I've never heard of this happening before! Did you put an email address on your application? But that is quite miraculous nonetheless! Major congratulations!

Just out of personal curiosity and it is totally fine if you don't feel comfortable answering but why do you want to renounce your U.S. citizenship? Does the U.S. citizenship dictate certain taxation (aka.global tax) on its citizens even if you don't live in the country? Or is it out of pure...

OMG, application In Process as of today (2018/02/14)!!! Took exactly three weeks and a day from the AOR date! I have been checking religiously every day since AOR but honestly did not expect it until the end of February. Since mine is a minor's application, I don't expect a test invite (maybe...

My 2 cents: Assuming you've applied after Oct.11 and C(6): 1. Technically, the IRCC cannot penalize you for not having the "intent" to reside since that clause was excluded from the evaluation of citizenship application with Bill C(6). So, no, they cannot reject you for working abroad when...

Thanks for doing that! It really made my day!!! And the pizza-eating guy's comment is gold, too! In seriousness, I know there should not be trolling on this forum and all but a bit of humour never hurts. Especially during the stressful process of applications.

Hahahaaha, I am so sorry if you were being sincere. I am browsing this at a Starbucks and laughing so incredibly hard right now that people here are weirded out.

Hey guys, I submitted a web form inquiry about two weeks ago to IRCC about my citizenship application (not about delays but to ask about something else), have not received a response but received this email from them today. The wording is really ambiguous, however, it is evident that the...

Your amazingly imaginative username and your extraordinarily long "yes" made me happy. Keep on being you!

You are correct. I posted my timeline because one poster requested it above and I thought my case may help to provide insight, despite the fact that it is not in the same VFS.

I am so sorry about your situation. My PRTD took about three weeks (excluding mail time) and I lived in the same sense of uncertainty every day, not knowing when to change my flight to and when I can return home. A few personal suggestions: 1. Follow-up and try not to give up! It sounds...

My PRTD experience: (Disclaimer: PRTD is entirely case and visa office dependent; one case is not necessarily another's case) VFS: Paris, France Case: PR card in delayed renewal, RO met Actual passport sent with the application (it is required for them to put the visa on it) PRTD took about 3...

My PRTD experience: (Disclaimer: PRTD is entirely case and visa office dependent; one case is not necessarily another's case) Consulate: Paris, France Case: PR card in delayed renewal, RO met PRTD took about 3 weeks with request for additional documents Multiple-Entry (don't remember...

As someone whose PR renewal went into secondary review and took a little under a year to arrive (and within a year of extensive travelling and had to apply for a PRTD), here is my (strictly personal and circumstantial) advice: 1. If you: a. are travelling strictly for personal...

I strongly second Keesio with the spreadsheet advice! Here is some of my own: - A clean and comprehensive Excel spreadsheet every time you exit and enter Canada. Make sure to file the accurate dates even if it is just a day trip across the border. (Super easy to make and make it a habit! Will...

What does RQ specifically entail? Is it just a glorified version of the residency part of the app? It does seem pretty night-marish though. As an avid traveller, just filling out the residency part of the application was very headache-inducing!

That's makes the two of us XD! I check my ECAS obsessively (and it is only been a week since my AOR, so I really shouldn't expect anything). The waiting is torturous!!!
