I kept reading on the CIC page and now I think I was wrong with my first statement. I think you still have to apply for PR first and unfortunately it is a tricky case. You got to answer the question: are you a dependant? To answer this question I send you to the CIC page as it involves many...

Were your parents already Canadians when you became 18, in case you got adopted, were you already adopted at this time (means adopted as a minor, prior to the day you turned 18 and prior to the day they became Canadians? Yes: In that case I think you are Canadian -wrong, have to apply for PR...

Here's another link for a free test: Richmond Library in Toronto. The test consists of different questions than the standard set you find everywhere else. Is is excellent to learn Canadian history. http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/ Mike

I have a colleague, he's from Great Britain, born citizen, university degree, had to write the language test for PR. Believe it or not... Mike

If she was truthful about her residence in Canada -resident requirements- and lawfully acquired her permanent residence, I don't think she would face revocation of citizenship. She might face a charge for not paying taxes while working illegally. If she obtained PR unlawfully, she might face...

I am going to load my truck with my files from the basement :). It looks like these requests are functioning as a test about languages skills incl. the skill to read between lines. Prior to 1-11 no proof of languages skills was required. The question which is not answered yet is: what if you...

Yes, I know. Because the government did reduce the budget of CIC and there is no office between Toronto east towards Ottawa. There was an office in Kingston before (this used to be our CIC office). Kingston is closed, so we were all moved to Ottawa. There are a bunch of people (some of them are...

CIC cannot expect that everybody has a PC (or Mac) and a printer. So, yes, handwritten is ok. Thomas

Ty solinga. Very helpful list of documents you listed. I hope one day Ontario adapts this streamlined procedure. Congrats to your citizenship! Mike

Well, they should re-introduce the head tax. Canada is proud of the pacific railway -which, don't get me wrong, is a huge achievement. The question about the head tax though has been removed from the citizenship test. You know the link between those two, well you maybe prepared for the test, you...

Just everybody in this forum remember who made your live complicated when you get citizenship. Payback time. ~300,000 citizenship applications if I remember right, correct me if I am wrong. Recalling from the citizenship test questions ~33mio Canadians, ~24.5mio voters, voters turnout ~60% ->...

Avg. RQ processing >2years, upto 4years, Montreal rather to the full extend as there only very few processing centers in Quebec. I am not from Quebec I am from Ontario. I think Msafiri meant that we won't see a change in process -issuing RQs to 'suspects' or for QA randomly' unless the practice...

I found an online test site I would like to share with you: http://www.v-soul.com/onlinetest/ Free test. Mike P.S. I score 100% in 9% of the time available in the 100 question test Ontario, repeatedly. Well I better do since my test date is Mar 1 :). Btw. If I receive a RQ before or after the...

You need to send them the record cards of your daughter from all schools showing attendance as a proof that she was residing in Canada during the last four (4) years. If you don't have a degree, post graduate from an English or French - Canada or abroad- institution you send nothing in this...

Actually I am way off, it is 230km from the place I live to Ottawa where it is 150km to Toronto. Two other colleagues of mine will be driving to Ottawa as well. Mike

Online status updates first. You'll get the letter 2-3 weeks later through snail mail... It's advised to check online status frequently to avoid missing test date because of lost letter or address changes. Mike

Yes, that's why you received a RQ. I think you made a big mistake sending the application 40 days short. These 40 days might cause a delay of upto 24 month now. Good luck, Mike
