It depends. If you are stopped and issued a ticket with a summons, that is not being detained. If you are stopped and and cuffed/put in the back of the police car then you'd be detained. The general traffic "ticket" is not detention. You are stopped for the purpose of issuing a summons, then...

You were detained if you were not free to go at any time. If you were placed in handcuffs, then yes, you were detained. Now, whether or not you choose to disclose this is completely up to you.

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? Ha. I guess that demonstrates how little I type "Santa Claus". But, my typo may be slightly less embarrassing than your apparent wealth of knowledge of a Tim Allen movie. ???

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? :o WTF?! There's no Santa Clause?! :o

To the rational person, this would not make any sense. However, we are dealing with CIC, so this wouldn't surprise me one bit. Hopefully you're all set!

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? FYI you do not have to "identify" yourself as a lawyer and affirmatively say you are giving legal advice to be treading in a gray area. My point is to 1) be careful of any "advice" you give; and 2) don't necessarily rely on any "advice" you receive here (or...

Re: Reply: Foreign Service - Strike? EVERYTHING on this forum should be taken with a grain of salt and NOBODY should actually rely on any "information" received here. This forum is good for sharing personal experiences/timelines and venting frustrations. If you're relying on any info you...

Who said public service is easy?

Is there any source that demonstrates this? Because this is not how it comes across. Regardless, if the fallback position is that FSWs in overseas offices should all be paid the same as their counterparts in Canada (as I have also heard argued); this is also a flawed argument. I don't think...

I'm on the government's side of this issue. Here's what clinched it for me: “The problem is that after about [a decade] of service, these foreign service professionals are looking in the office next door to them and seeing economists and lawyers and social scientists who are making huge...

Wow, that grammar is brutal. It's been a long day...

Greatest typo ever! :D Much better than mine in my OP (apparently an "8" followed by a closed paren equals smiley with sunglasses - damn you emoticons!). CIC claimed they never received my PP scan on May 8, but they did confirm that they received it in mid June when I resent it. I'm just...

So, it's been almost 3 months since my PPR (May 8) and still ECAS reads "Application Received". I've noticed people saying their status has gone from "Application Received" to "Decision Made" without ever going to "In Process". My question is, has anyone ever heard of someone receiving their...

Touche!

I am not asking you to explain yourself. My point - which is quite legitimate - is that if you intend on getting a divorce, you should notify CIC immediately and withdraw your application. If you do not do that, you are committing a fraud. To my knowledge, with the information that you have...

May 8 must have been a bad day for Ottawa. I received my PPR on May 8 and send the scan of my passport within an hour and received an automated acknowledgment of receipt. After not haring anything for over a month, I emailed them and they had the gall to tell me that they never received it. I...

Just for clarification, by "process the application accordingly" I mean deny. Fraudsters like the OP are part of the reason there is such a backlog and legit applicants such as myself are still waiting...

If this is your intent, you should inform CIC that you and your wife intend on getting a divorce as soon as possible. That way they will be able to process the application accordingly.

I wish I could blame it on myself, it would be a bit easier to accept the delay. However, I did include my file number in the subject line and body of my email. It appears that the mistake was on their end.

Long time lurker, first time poster. Here's my story... 11/17/12 - Application sent 11/20/12 - Application received 02/11/13 - Sponsorship Approval/Transferred to CPP Ottawa 05/08/13 - PPR; Passport scanned and emailed; Received automatic confirmation of receipt 06/13/13 - I email CPP...
