"Applying for a Permanent Resident Card (PR Card) - Initial application, replacement or renewal (IMM 5445) 4. Additional documents of proof of residence in Canada in the past five (5) years Include the following with your application: Photocopies of all pages of all passports you held in the...

I prefer not to speculate on why it went for secondary review and whatnot. However, when we check on CIC website for urgent processing, it refers to travelling outside of Canada, hence asking to include proof of travel and payment of trip, and putting "Urgent — Proof of travel included". Your...

I got translations for each and every single stamp, as well as additions that were not in English or French. The "cancelled" stamp that I have on my old passport (the Consulate stamped it upon renewal), entry and exit stamps from Denmark (since it says "København" instead of "Copenhagen")...

I use my legal name for nearly everything, the exception is when I'm required to have to fill according to the name on PR Card or foreign passport. My country of origin doesn't allow for name changes except for in extreme cases. I provide the certificate of legal name change whenever necessary...

Married. I would assume your marital status would be "single," since you were never married, and is not currently in a common-law relationship. HOWEVER, I don't know for sure. Maybe someone who knows better will be able to provide you with more information.

Ditto. And that's what I'm doing also. In my case, though, I have graduated from a 2-year program. But just in case CIC decides it doesn't suffice, I'm going to take the CELPIP G-LS.

I applied for PR Card renewal last week. A few days later requested a travel history from CBSA to make sure all my dates are correct (I am submitting a citizenship application, hopefully soon). Two days after my request I received that e-mail.

I put legally separated on mine — my sponsor and I haven't divorced yet.

Unless something changed, CSQ is not mandatory to be eligible for Francisation. When I was considering moving to Québec and was still under 5 years after having received my Permanent Residency, I saw that I was eligible even without CSQ. I found this: FRANCIZATION – FULL-TIME COURSES —...

*Passes out from anxiety and nervousness* I too requested it. And today received the following message: "Thank you for submitting your request with the CBSA. This message confirms its receipt. Your new, permanent file number is: [number] which replaces your original file number [number]...

I'd try to find out what's wrong by calling them — even if you didn't receive it in time for your trip, it should at least show on e-CAS. Maybe you didn't fulfill the urgency requirement (i.e. the officer didn't think you included enough proof of the urgency)? Did you write in the package that...

Depending on the information you have, you may be able to apply for urgent processing of PR Card, so it speeds up and you can go on the trip. If you don't receive it by the time you leave, you can apply for a travel document to return to Canada. Please refer to: * Urgent processing of a...

Thanks. I'm not sure if this is standard for my nationality (as I said, I've only had two passports so far, I got my first one when I turned 19 and another one a couple of months after I turned 24; I left my birth country when I was 19 and haven't lived there in 8 years — so I don't have all...

In the letter they sent along with it, it asked if I'd like to have my application withdrawn and my money returned to me, or if I'd like to re-submit it with the required paperwork (the biographical pages, which were in fact included in the application). It was CIC's wording, not mine.

Yes, it was returned because I provided only the biographical pages of my passport while all they require are the biographical pages. An explanation was never provided, only that I needed to include the biographical pages of my passport in my application — while they were actually there, and...

Nobody asked me for tickets. I'm gathering documents, and tickets sometimes are requested later on, so I prefer to try to send a strong application from the beginning, with all possible proofs of residency.

Thanks.

Hi, I would like to know if anyone who was not able to provide CIC with travel tickets had any problems with it, and/or any advices which you may have. My sponsor threw out all the paperwork I had been organizing for years for personal purposes (travel tickets, copies of I-94, etc), and now...

I just decided to register for CEPILP-General LS, so the issue is (almost) solved.

Citizenship wasn't my priority at the time, when the relationship with my sponsor was falling apart after 6 years together, and his parents deciding to get involved, which both of us asked them not to. No. My passport explicitly says that it is a renewal and a replacement of the passport...
