    PR Card Renewal: Address History

    Hello, I'm applying for the PR card renewal. I have maintained my Canadian address throughout 5 years (that is, paid rent, utility bills, taxes, and so on).

    Does old PR card still remain valid if I apply for the new card before the expiry date?

    My PR card is about to expire in 8 months. I would like to apply for a renewal now because I know it currently takes a long time to receive the new card. However, I will need to travel outside of Canada in about 3-4 months. In case, the processing of the new PR card takes longer than that, my...

    OHIP: Didn't meet residency requirements of 153 days - What to do? Please help

    I left Canada last year and planned to come back within a few months. Therefore, I did not apply for extended absence. However, the circumstances are such that I had to extend my stay and I now realized that over the last 12 months, I was in Ontario less than the the required minimum of 153...

    The invitation by CIC to help them improve a new tool - could it be for the new online test?

    So, I was reading the info about the test on the CIC website and saw this message popping up (don't know how to insert image, so I will just copy/paste the text): Do you have 30 to 60 minutes in the coming weeks to help us improve a new tool? Yes No Great! Please answer a few questions to see...

    Changing home address from Canadian to outside of Canada

    I apologize if this question was asked before. I applied for citizenship and received an AOR with a home address in Canada. Now I am going away for at least 6 months. I don't have a home address in Canada anymore because I was renting an apartment. For the time I am away, I will use my Canadian...

    No permanent address in Canada while taking the test

    Advice needed. I just received my AOR this week, I gave notice to my landlord, and plan to be away from Canada until July. I am using my Canadian friend's address as my mailing address. I don't really think I will receive the invitation for the test any time soon. However, in an unlikely...

    Renting a mailbox with Canada Post - will it work for returned citizenship application?

    I submitted my application a few months ago, no AOR yet, and now due to some circumstances, I will be moving out and going away for a few months. I am worried that CIC might return my application to my old address (which I would have no access to), and I know their mail is not being forwarded...

    Recent AORs by e-mail or regular "do not forward" mail?

    My question is to those people who have received their AOR in the past few months (during CO-VID). Have you received AORs by e-mail or regular post? If by post, did the envelope have the stamp "Do not forward"? on it. Thank you so much.
