Hello all, Asking for my sister in-law. She has a valid visitor visa, and now wants to study here. She has an accepted offer. Of course she needs to apply for a study permit. But does she need a new (student) visa? or the visitor visa is good enough?

My two cents is that regardless of the covid-19 crisis, backlog, etc., do NOT submit an incomplete application.

Definitely no reason to worry. I know people who were never employed nor in school and didn't get RQ.

I've always been curious as to how this is enforced? Given how Canada doesn't record departures...

I think the officer would simply ask for IDs and their passports. They can use a interpreter if they have difficulty communicating in English.

I had Chinese stamps on my passport as well (different dates for entry/exit though), and didn't need to translate them. You should be fine.

I know the instructions ask for the bio page, but I did submit the copy of all pages, along with translation of the non-english/french stamps. The instructions also doesn't ask for those translations, but it is well known to be needed.

That's a good question. I'm inclined to say write it as it appears on your passport. However, I think it's best to call IRCC and ask their opinion.

I can't answer for OP, but it won't matter. If it is asked to be translated, then officer could not read the dates, hence could not determine if it was in the eligibility period or not. Therefore, they all need to be translated.

I don't think you'll face any issues. Signature is nowadays not really a security feature.

No.

That my job requires frequent travel to the states for training/meetings/testing...

In my case, I received a letter saying my request for urgent processing was not approved and it'll be processed normally. Not everyone will get it though.

Short answer is that you're fine. You haven't misrepresented in any way (based on what you wrote here). The intention to reside was an old requirement (prior to bill C-5) and is now removed. You can attend your citizenship ceremony with a peaceful mind and enjoy your Canadian citizenship.

They actually didn't check the original for me. I think IRCC has access to their database and can verify applicants' IELTS results more reliably.

I would actually suggest you include it in the physical presence calculator. It won't count as an absence cause it's less than 24 hours. However, it makes it easier for the officer to match their records with your account of your border crossing.

It could be either of them. In my case, test invite came by email, and the oath invite came by mail (despite that after the interview the officer said i'll get it the same way that I got the test invite). In case of my wife, she got them both by email.

You are not a citizen until you take the oath.

Hi all, I have applied for US visa a few years back. It is still in progress (Administrative Processing). Looks like it's in a limbo and they're not going to reject or approve. I have heard after obtaining Canadian citizenship, you need to withdraw, or let them know somehow. Does anyone have...

There will be no impact on your citizenship application. Best wishes.
