The rule I follow regarding where to write "N/A" is: if someone were to tamper with the form, can it be detected? For instance, if I'm not misremembering, the citizenship form asks something like "if you are using another name not in your landing documents, write it here: ....". If you leave...

I just received the test invite for the first week of march. I applied jointly with my partner at the beginning of October. She's pregnant, and the test date is just a few days after her due date. We can't predict when the baby is going to be born... if he is born shortly before the test date...

Yes, that's precisely my case. I'll proceed with requesting the records of entries/exits (I had already visited the link you gave me and it produced no results, good to know I wasn't completely lost :D). Thanks And thank you also for putting my mind at ease regarding the second question.

In the form to request the records online, I'm asked to specify the "type of records requested". I want to make sure I get the correct ones. To my knowledge, my only interaction with US officials was when I landed at Niagara, so I am expecting to either get a blank/"no records" response, or...

May I ask, how do you contact your MP? Do you send a letter? (Do you have a template that you have used?). I am not planning on contacting mine in the foreseeable future, but it's good to have information.

Closing my thread: eCas just went active. Both my and my partner's eCas became active. Only one of them shows the "received" line, though. I can access with the client id (don't forget the hyphen!) and PR card number, but not with the receipt number or COPR. So, empirically (and with only one...

Woo! eCas active!

Also, those receiving email AOR... do you get only one email for everyone, or every family member gets an email?

I don't expect eCas to be active yet (too soon). But I don't know how will I know that eCas became active (say, if the AOR mail or email gets lost somehow), other than checking all combinations of "identification type" and applicant, which is tiresome. So I'm asking if it is "safe" to just...

TL;DR: in a family application, does it matter who (me or my partner) logs in, and what "identification type" number (client id, etc) is used to log in? Is there a preferred "identification type"? Can any applicant in a family application access (his/her) eCas? Are all the options in the...

Wow. It is shocking that not even the minister proposing the law is sure about what the "intent to reside" means. I don't know what it means either (that's for the courts to decide), but I'm pretty sure it isn't "if granted citizenship, you intend to reside in Canada 4 out of the 6 years prior...

Indeed. I was in that situation. Back then, they also required IELTS to be less than one year old (when it is valid for two years). Don't give them ideas!

Not only the academic is harder overall (though I know some who disagree on that), but the listening and speaking components of IELTS general and IELTS academic are identical. Same thing happens with CELPIP. Given that they only care about the listening and speaking components, it is puzzling...

I see that one can now apply online for a visitors visa. It's time to renew my parent's visitor's visa and I'm wondering if I can apply online on their behalf. I tried to follow the "find out if you are eligible to apply" questionnaire in the CIC website, and after asking a lot of questions...

What is the "letter of explanation"? Now I'm worried that I may have missed something.

We (my partner & I) are preparing our citizenship application. We need to decide whether to send them together or separate. CIC website seems to imply that there is little difference (other than returning all apps if one is incomplete---which by itself is worrying even though we are checking...

I'm preparing my citizenship application. My COPR (incorrectly?) states that the "original entry date" is the day in which I landed at Niagara falls, rather than five years ago. I'm not very concerned about the mismatch---I ordered my CBSA records and they have the correct original entry date...

To finalize my thread... I just landed. There was no problem whatsoever.

In case someone else finds this thread in the future. I called them, didn't select the option 4 (immigration) but 0 (other stuff) and a nice, helpful and very patient lady answered. She couldn't tell me the exact status of the money order, but she confirmed that the package had been received and...

Thank you. I'll make another attempt to contact them, and failing that, I'll send all the receipts + a letter. (Another option that I just thought of, I could send another money order and not cancel the old one... and in a few months, see which one they cashed and cancel the other one)...
