Yup, mine is blank too (box 36). Not to worry though. I had ordered my CBSA report and it stated my original entry date of 2006. Plus they have my study permits etc on file, so I'm sure all will be well.

Thanks buddy! I do remember!!! Can't believe you'll be a citizen in 4 days now! Time flies be eh. I hope I'm as quick as yours as well. Fingers crossed!

I'm sorry to say that I was part of that new program, where they moved my file to the Ottawa Pilot Program from Buffalo. I remember folks who applied before me, got their PR, 9-10 months after I did. :-[

Being a call center agent is part of the duty sometimes. You need to be versatile. Also, all the guidelines are always posted for them in a booklet which they just have to follow. It's a distilled version of the law that covers 90% of all cases. I'm sure they will be able to handle it. You can...

I came to Canada in 2006 as a student and became a PR in Jan 2012. So I was able to count 2 years as non-PR towards 1 year of my required residency for citizenship.

You sent in August 5?? :o It's only August 1 right now!

Well here we go. Finally our time, for all those August 2014 application submitters! Let's kick this off. Date mailed - August 1, 2014 Residency days: 1103 My PR details are on the left side and I'll be updating my citizenship details below in the signature. Hopefully I can get lucky for...

Hi, I'm signing my application on August 1, but I printed out the document today from online. When I print from Chrome, it gives me the date on the top left for July 26. Will that matter, or should I do it on August 1 itself? Thanks, ottawaResident

@Goldline - Thank you very much for your help!

Hey everyone, After a few years of hiatus, I'm back. This time applying for citizenship! Got a few quick questions from the application: Question 6D: 1. Do you have PR status in any other country. Does that mean PR status other than Canada right? Question 6E: 1. What should I wrote for the...

You're completely wrong about this. Just because they don't stamp your passport, doesn't mean they don't keep a record in their systems. Your PR card and/or visa is swiped everytime you enter the country. Even when signing the Citizenship application, on the last page you give CIC the permission...

Urgent reply expected? Rather pretentious of you. Google --> use it.

8 months? I got mine approved in 3 months. Check the timeline on the left. <<<------------

I landed on January 10, 2012. Got my PR card on March 5, 2012 = 39 business days later. The standard at that time was 42 business days.

I think if you don't have a surname, then leave it blank. If you right "NA or Not Applicable", the bar code generator will assume that "NA" or "Not Applicable" is your surname and will generate a barcode based on that. You don't want that to happen. If you legally don't have a surname, then I...

I've been visiting the forums even after I got my PR. Really as a side comment.....I really feel bad for people that applied before Sept, 2011. I think they got shafted in the two part process of half their application being processed at Buffalo and the other half in Ottawa. Seems like Sept...

Landed on January 10 PR card mailed on February 24 PR card received on February 29 :) Total processing time 33-36 business days. Good luck to everyone else!

Hi, I had a SIN beginning with a "9" under my old work permit and study permit. This was a temporary SIN. I was filing my taxes electronically using a tax software. I'm now a Permanent Resident and have a new permanent SIN beginning with "5". How do I go about filing my taxes now? Can I still...

When you get your AOR and Medical request, the email says that the file has been transferred to Ottawa.

Hey torontouser, I had submitted my file to the Buffalo office. When I got my AOR it came from the Ottawa office saying that my file had been transferred there for faster processing. My medical requests were also from the Ottawa office that I got along with the AOR. Even my visa issuance...
