Hello fellow April applicants (and soon to be April applicants) I finally sent in my application yesterday via Fedex - it's meant to reach Sydney on Monday, Apr 13 I look forward to getting to know everyone better over the next few months. Good luck to all!!

Thanks everyone! This cleared it up for me.

Hi All, I've prepared my application and signed it based on today's date. Is it OK for me to send it in on Apr 6? Specifically: I'm traveling outside of Canada between Apr 2 and Apr 5. Not trying to hide absences, just didn't want to redo the calculator etc. Thanks!

Thanks for your reply, thecoolguysam I looked into that option, however the processing time for updating a landing document is 6 months! I would like to apply before the citizenship changes come through but I'm worried that even the 6-8 week turnaround time would jeopardize that. I wonder if a...

Thanks everyone for your replies. My landing document has the incorrect spelling as well. I'm guessing this was an error by my dad / CIC many years ago when I got this document.

Hi All, I'm eligible to apply for citizenship, however I realized pretty late in the game that my name on my PR card has a spelling error (one letter in my first name is incorrect). This means that my passport and my PR card do not match. I think the ideal solution here is to apply for a legal...
