They may tell CBSA they hold Egyptian passport or not. We don't know because it doesn't mention in the article. In this case, if it is as simple as "Egyptian passport holders must have valid Canadian visa in order to board the plane from anywhere in the world. Without visa or PR card is not...

Hi all, Just read a real story in the similar situation and would like to share with those who are interested in this subject. The family were refused to board by Air Canada while their returning Canada from Florida with their foreign passports although they have called the Canada Border...

I think you mix up the different sides between the airline companies and the Canada Immigration. The airline companies have no rights to judge if a person is allowed to enter Canada or not. All they have to do is to make sure the person has eligible documents before boarding. The eligible...

I used to use my original passport and an one way ticket to return Canada and be asked frequently to show PR card by the airline company. PR card is not a travel document but they still asked to see it to make sure I can stay in Canada legally. So what if I show the citizenship certificate...

Thanks! He took the flight from Taiwan with his Taiwanese passport and the airline company denied him to board? The company is ridiculous! Canada allows citizens to have dual citizenship, which means his Taiwanese passport is valid and visa-exempt to Canada. If he had only a citizen card but any...

Hi Amanda, May I ask where the friend took the flight? And what did he do after being denied to board? thx!

Thanks for sharing! Sounds really risky! In the friend's case, the passport is supposed to be the "eligible documents" to entry Canada (I know some airline employees are very confused that which countries are visa-exempt, they need to be well trained!!!). However, if the airline doesn't bite in...

Thanks. I just heard someone had a trip on the day after his oath ceremony years ago. He had no choice but traveled with his old passport from a visa-exempt country and returned to Canada with his citizenship certificate. He printed out the information on cic website to prove he doesn't need a...

Thanks for your suggestion. I know Passport Canada has urgent service, but it means that I need to back to my former living city to seek for a guarantee's signature in a very short time. Because of my moving, all my friends in the current living city will have known me for two years until the...

You are right! They are moving now! Today I just looked on a citizenship oath ceremony in front of the Parliament Hill, which is probably a special one. Chris Alexander and Anita Biguzs attended and led to take the oath in the ceremony, and the cic employees were invited to look on as well. I...

Thanks Ray, As a citizen, I have a legal right to enter Canada. I ask the question because cic website doesn't say citizens are not allowed to enter Canada without a Canadian passport, but mentions that they may face delays or be denied boarding by transport companies...

Does it mean that if the airline let me board based on my passport from a visa-exempt country, then I will be fine to enter Canada with gov issued ID and proof of legal status in Canada (CPR/Citizenship certificate/Birth Certificate)?

Thank you! I find this: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/passport/help/travel.asp#general Can I travel with my Canadian Certificate of Citizenship? No. A Certificate of Canadian Citizenship is not a travel document. A passport is the only reliable and universally accepted travel and identification...

Last time I returned to Canada with a one-way ticket, the airline let me onboard with my visa-exempt passport, but they asked to see my PR card. I think it will still work for the airline with a visa-exempt passport and a citizenship certificate, but I'm not sure if it works for the custom...

I agree that it is risky to bring the citizenship certificate to travel. But the first thing is I am not sure if I will have enough time to get a passport before leaving, and the second thing is that I just moved from another city, all my friends in my living city will have known me for two...

Thank for your suggestion. Actually I will travel outside Canada with my current passport instead of the citizenship certificate. I used to return to Canada with my current passport and my PR card, and just worried that if there will be a problem that a Canadian citizen enter Canada with a valid...

I will have a trip in the summer and may be invited to a citizenship ceremony recently. For I don't know when will be the ceremony, I need to reserve the ticket with my current passport. However, once I attend the oath ceremony, they will take my PR card away from me, and I am not sure at that...

I am a July 2014 applicant who haven't heard back on test yet! I don't even receive a book, but the ecas says they have transferred my case to Ottawa local office on February 5 2015 already.

This is the answer they gave me, which says the application will be processed according to the date it was received. Sir, Madam, Thank you for contacting Citizenship and Immigration Canada. I am pleased to follow up on your request: We have received your application and it will be processed...

I understand that the process may not be only based on the submitting time. But if the delay timelines are caused by human errors, like losing or ignoring applications, should the applicants be happy for losing their time? I submitted my application on July 4th, 2014, and the tracking record...
