Within 39 years in Canada you most likely recognized that the Canadian government isn't treating their citizen much better than immigrants in certain aspects. Do you agree? So there's a smooth transition from one state to the other... mike

Test taken March 1st, nothing... My colleague as well, he had the test 2 hours before me, nothing... Ottawa office. mike

Here's my general reco, every time you send something away, you make a 1:1 copy of everything and store it in a safe place. When it is received, file it (or throw it away). That's what I am doing and this way it is easy to reference and/or restore something lost. It needs some discipline though...

Well, technically you can enter with a valid visa or if you are from a country with visa waiver programs with you foreign passport. But believe me they'll most likely find out that you are Canadian citizen and you will become the target for some scrutiny. I would not give it a chance. And...

You cannot travel w/o Canadian Passport. If they find you entering Canada with a foreign passport while being Canadian citizen, you are in trouble... There's a way to get a passport expedited, in less than a week. mike

Or the opposite, they start to scrutinize people who got their citizenship through naturalization (not born citizen)... Just my 2c. mike

One of them need to marry you -same sex marriage is allowed in Canada- than you can sponsor your spouse, get divorced (Canadian practice) marry your real love and finally sponsor him/her... OR try to get a study permit extension, finish study in Canada and get PR through this special program...

I have a colleague, born and citizen of the UK (white male, NO offense!), had to take language test for PR. For your language proof, correct me if I am wrong, I think you need to obtain your diploma proof in a sealed envelope from the institution and send this unopened to CIC. This at least was...

You need to become a PR (Permanent Resident) first, then live in Canada for 3 years, before you can send your application. Overall process between 6-10 years depends on odds and the weather in Labrador... mike

With that, whatever party is in charge can bend and twist law(s) to their favor, e.g. securing voters. With a majority of the population rather not wanting to see more immigrants this becomes a questionable practice. mike

http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2013/05/02/excitizenship_judge_charged_with_theft_of_test_papers.html I've heard rumors that this right now causes further delays in ON because a lot cases are looked at and verified a second time... Maybe that's the case for us since we didn't hear anything...

If you have a reason to believe you are mistreated, contact your MP. Mike

Well, your contribution to this discussion shows your intellect... My last post here being insulted now the second time my time's to precious, have to send another pile of paper to PEO in order to be allowed to call myself an engineer after 32 years of engineering work. How much more arrogant...

Are you really that naiv or blind not to see surgeons driving taxi in Toronto and engineers with 30+ years of experience in their field being scrutinized and yet have to go to school again to be able to practise in their field of competence? Don't you know that there's a law in ON and a very...

Where do you want to draw the line? On the father who can't find a job in Canada because his engineering degree or surgeon record is not recognized and credited so he takes the hardship of leaving his family to work abroad to gain some income or on the spouse who goes back to India to support...

The typical reaction of someone being out of arguments. Well again for you: The demographic numbers YOU referred to show that the majority of new Canadians are coming from third world countries. Fact is the processing times increased dramatically over the past few years, actually since the...

You answered it yourself. Exactly these data I am referring to. I thought, one would be smart enough to see the effect of increased processing time has to these numbers. And I don't accuse the government of being 'selective'. The other part of the demographic data I am referring to is a bit...

Well, you don't, especially you don't have a say where your tax dollars are wasted since you cannot vote out a tax wasting government. And you don't get it in one or two you might get it in four when a RQ is issued to you. Well, you know why, look at the demographic numbers... The question is...

Sure, I'll fight to the end even if it is hopeless and no matter what it costs may it exceed the return by a hundred times. This, with all due respect, is dumb, stubborn procedure from the past centuries... Mike

The two of us had test on March 1st and haven't heard anything from CIC since then. Two different families, nationalities (Asian and European). Ottawa office. Waitin.... Mike
