The point of reapplying is that with better luck you get a different officer taking your case and things go smoother (although, granted, it's not cheap to re-spin the roulette like this). At my Hamilton office I noticed there were two officers, one a female. I'm sure if my file had been given...

Sorry to hear that ambient. Have you considered reapplying? Cases filed after June 11 2015 are processed in a different queue, so my case is a little different. I read on the CIC website somewhere that for post-June 11 cases they're not allowed to transfer files any more unless the applicant...

I had my test and interview Aug. 17 at the Hamilton office. Scored 20 out of 20 on the test but at the interview the officer said he wanted to order a CBSA report to check that my declared trips to the US are accurate. The only trips we're talking about are all same-day drives to Buffalo (eight...

I wouldn't say I personally know people like OP, but I have seen people in this situation ... way too many of them. My first six weeks in Canada after landing I had to stay at a backpacker hotel in downtown Toronto and that place was a hub for people like OP. They admitted to me in casual...

He calls it a stressful situation but that's ridiculous on its face. There is no stressful situation here. More precisely, his situation is no more stressful than it was before he came to Canada. He wants PR status now, he wanted PR status back then. The difference is he is now in Canada and...

You're not hearing me! Do you have a hearing problem? Or do you have amnesia? ::) Your chances of getting an employer to agree to file an LMIA application for you in three months are damn near zero. It doesn't matter which part of the country you're looking. Unless you're Albert Einstein...

He needs to go home and "calculate his score" from there. There is nothing that can be done for him in Canada. He only has three months left on his visitor status (if, as he claims, he got here in June), and that's not enough time to apply for and be granted PR status under ANY program. As for...

If I had a dollar for every case like this that I've seen, I'd be a rich man. This is what happens when Canadian consulates issue tourist visas without interviewing applicants in person, and when CBSA officers let foreign nationals into Canada without asking them if they have a job to go back to...

Join the club my man! I scored 20 out of 20 on the test and went into the interview hoping I'd be told which oath ceremony they would schedule me for. Instead, what did I get? A good 30 minute grilling on my (irrelevant) personal biography since turning 18, and a lot of questions my passport...

I didn't try anything at all outside of the study guide. What I did is that I went over the study guide four times. The first time I wrote down notes of the key ideas and names and events and dates in every section. These were my "notes" and I carried them to work and went over them during...

Yea, I think your words were meant for me, and thank you. I never really appreciated the importance of a passport until my last one expired and now I'm without one, which is one reason I'm growing impatient about this whole application process. I know it could be worse than being without a...

If your interview is not in Hamilton, I don't know how much of what I said applies to you. If I had to make a bet, I'd say your luck will be better than mine.

Yea I could tell. I was sitting and waiting right outside her door before getting called by the guy. So I heard her, and she sounded very easy going. But yep, that's where I am. What with a wait for a CBSA report and what with it being close to Labour Day, I won't be getting an oath invitation...

This is where you're wrong. As far as I could tell, the only real "processing" that had been done was that they already had obtained the clearances from RCMP and CSIS (the officer showed them to me). Other than that, they guy had not really read my file before that interview as far as I could...

Allawy I was at the Hamilton CIC office on the same day as you for my citizenship test and interview (August 17). The test went well (20 correct out of 20) but I did not get approved on the spot at the interview. My case was handled by the guy, not the lady. Long story short, he said that first...

I think what you're confusing for "discussion" is a few people entertaining themselves on a wildly bizarre scenario from someone with an active imagination. The irony is that OP's original scenario is so absurd it doesn't even rise to the level of decent entertainment. It's beneath laughing...

The evidence is the 2009 Citizenship Act and like I said I'm not going to find the link for you. I do remember personally reading a summary of its provisions on the CIC website back when it had just come into effect and it said precisely what I've already told you so many times: Your child will...

This whole thread is bizarre in the extreme! "How can i prevent my child having Canadian citizenship at birth so he can exit Country X freely when he wants to visit it?" Are you kidding me? Pregnant mothers make the journey to Canada give birth here so their child can be Canadian by birth. You...

Why does the child so desperately need to "visit" this Country X, next time? To parade the fact that he enjoys the right to live in Canada? You say Country X border officials won't let your child leave until he renounces one of the citizenships because dual citizenship is not allowed. I'm...

Let's face it: He's not looking for any "professional" advice. He already knows the answer that people have repeated a dozen times already. The reason he's started this thread is out of pure fear of the authorities in his own country. The title of this thread is actually misleading. It should...
