I will be eligible to apply for citizenship in a year. So I try to minimize my international travels. I got a research paper accepted at a prestigious conference. The conference is in US next April. I'll have the chance to present my work in front of hundreds of researchers and network with...

I wonder when the new processing fee will be applied, and whether that will also make a difference...

Have you tried to get refund from Canada Post? Last year during Easter, it took them one week to deliver my mail from Victoria to Vancouver... The customer service gave me refund of mailing postage, because nothing was lost. But in your case, you may try asking for compensation and tell them how...

Hi Leon, thanks for your notes. Do you think it will be helpful to include all trips? In the past 4 years I only had 3 trips to US, but on my passport there are 7 or 8 in total. I don't know if sending copies of all pages will make me look suspicious? Some people think it's better not include...

I read from the news that this will happen. But do you have any source stating that the time is this April? Thank you.

I guess on-hold wants to know when filling in "Absences from Canada", the question being asked is "Did you leave Canada between xxxx and xxxx"? if he avoids the time period then he doesn't have to fill it in as absence. In fact I have the same question :)

Thanks very much Maisa. I hope I'm not getting myself paranoid. I wouldn't worry about this a few weeks ago, but I started reading discussions here. I saw people who live in Canada got RQ just because they travel to US a couple times. I got my PhD one year ago after studying in Canada since...

A quick question: for citizenship application, does it matter if the applicant works in Canada but for a US employer? ie, the source of income is US, hired by US employer, but the citizenship applicant lives in Canada. Thanks very much in advance.

Thank you pkakula! Hope the government can be fast enough...

Thanks a lot for your reply. I heard that in some provinces, like Alberta, there is an agreement between the PR and province so they can only stay in the province that nominated them, and moving to another province is not legal, and will potentially cause losing PR status and failure in...

I emailed BC PNP regarding a job offer in another province (boldly....) and here is their response. My question is, should I confirm with CIC? Because it is CIC who will renew the PR status and handle citizenship application, not BC government. Thanks a lot in advance. From: PNP Info JTST:EX...

I think boyfriend and spouse are different, or I could be wrong. I have a friend who stayed in US for a few years and kept his PR status because his wife (also PR) was in Canada.

I was thinking of applying for a B1/B2 because my previous one just expired. I had some 7-8 entries to US but 5 of them fall out of the 3/4 year period. now I start to worry about this as I never thought this can cause any problems. My stays in US were pretty short, 3 days minimum and 2 weeks...

Thanks a lot EasyRider. Reading those discussions did scared me a lot. I will re-consider my plans then.

Hi everybody, I'm new here so sorry if my question seems obvious or naive. If I apply for citizenship and leave Canada for a few months to work, eg, in US, is there a chance my application will get rejected? I will apply after my residency requirement is met, ie, 3 out of 4 years, and 2 years...
