    Citz & PR - both @ same time

    Re: Citz & PR - both @ same time I don't think it is advisable to use PR to travel in/out of country after becoming Canadian, as you are no longer PR and it will be misrepresentation. And as far i know, they usually take PR card during the Oath, so i assume your application should be...

    I missed my Citizenship test, can I provide my good reason by enquiry form?

    I think you can deliver in person. When i was issued RQ during the test, the officer told me that i can send documents by mail, or drop it at gate to the Guard. I did the drop-in, and i could see they received documents in my ATIP report. Further to add, My office was Surrey, i don't know if...

    Question regarding FIOA repory

    Another question, Is it possible FOIA report is missing entries. I can see Entry date and Time in CBSA report, but their is no corresponding entry in CBP report. I am sure it would be some day trip to US. But if FOIA report is not showing entry, how i am going to prove it.
