Hey guys, so… a noob question. I’ve applied for my spouse’s PR and on the portal https://prson-srpel.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login it still shows the status as “Submitted” even though she has received the biometrics request and another request for a missing document. Is there any other portal where...

Hi all, I created the PR application for my spouse to be sponsored to Canada. However, during the creation of the application, one of the PCCs was pending, and so I wrote an LoE explaining that we'd provide the PCC as soon as we received it. Now, we've received that PCC, but I'm having trouble...

Hi all, Had a weird query which I wanted to run by you guys. I'm looking to marry a girl who's currently based in the Netherlands for over 3 years now. However, she's not a PR or Citizen of the Netherlands and still holds her Indian Passport. I, on the other hand, am a Canadian Citizen for...

Has anyone received any information about resumption of paper based tests anytime soon? Ontario is coming out of lockdown and pretty much almost fully reopened now with Phase 3 from today. Any news from provinces that have "reopened" before us?

Hi guys, Needed your ideas on this, so a bit of background - All my documents so far from India have the "surname" field left blank; I have never officially used my surname ever and have my name + dad's name as the "given name" in every document. In India, the surname is not a mandatory field...

Hi guys, Was reading the IMM5771e checklist for the documents needed for sponsoring my parents in case I get pulled up in the lottery (hopefully) :) I'm a PR and pending my citizenship in Canada; I have no other siblings. I will be sponsoring only my parents. With regards to this, when I was...

Hi guys, Another stupid question before I send out the application tomorrow. I've calculated eligibility as of 27-Feb-2020 and will be signing the application as of 27-Feb-2020 tomorrow. This gives me 1102 days of eligibility, and the form says I have to be eligible the day BEFORE I sign for...

Hey guys, Sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I was double-checking all my documents for the Citizenship application and realised that they've not really asked for the PR card photocopy anywhere. Do we have to send that too? Or, am I missing something here?

Hi guys, Had a couple of queries related to the PCC required along with my citizenship application. I will become eligible for citizenship around end of January 2020. Is it alright to apply for the PCC from Indian Consulate around July 2019? I do not intend to visit India between July 2019 and...

Dear all, I have received my CoPR and intend to land towards the end of January. I have resigned from my current job in India. However, my current company might offer me a role in Canada which I may decide to take up depending on how lucrative it is. And, this is where my quandary begins...

Let's all connect here. First questions from me - What are the documents to carry? What details to be written on the back of the photographs? What are the current lead times for NDVO?

Dear all, I was wondering if any of you have a tried and tested resume format for Canada which I could use to fashion my resume around. To be specific I'm an IT BA/Developer and need a resume format that works for such jobs. Thanks.

Received my GCMS notes today (was ordered after 3 months of AOR) - On the second page, I can see the status as below - After that nothing till date. My queries are as below - It seems to me that R10 and 11.2 checks are done and over with. Is my reading of this correct? It doesn't...

Had a small doubt. Wherever letters of explanation are needed on my uploads for PR, should I write the letters of explanation on the same PDF as the rest of the documents or should I use the separate "explanation" section that seems to be on the page where documents are to be uploaded...

Dear all, Went for my health check-up today and everything else was normal except the urine test which detected the presence of "occult blood" on it. The guys took a second urine sample and gave me the eMedical acknowledgement nonetheless. When asked about the 2nd urine report, they said...

Dear all, I've filled out my form for the PR on CIC. However, once I submit the form, in the 2nd page, it asks for my wife's work details and documents. However, this is not relevant since my wife has no work experience in Canada and I can't claim points for her work experience in India. How...
