Hi, Ready to apply for a passport and have 1 question: can I use someone who lives in a different city as a reference? Or do they need to sign anything on the application? Thanks!

My progress so far: April 19th (2024): Application submitted online April 23rd: AOR June 14th: Ghost update June 15th: Background verification marked as completed June 19th: Citizenship test status has been updated to In progress in the tracker. Scheduled to take citizenship test online between...

Hi all, I can't seem to get a clear answer on this. I plan on landing on July 28th in Point Roberts (I just received COPR), but I will need to go to Seattle for a couple of days at the end of August. Will I be able to come back to Canada without PR card (just COPR and passport)? I will have...

My application was approved on July 14th but when I got COPR my place of birth was wrong. I can't even imaging putting in the wrong birth place, but I'd like to verify this. Is there a way to see my submitted application? I can see my EE profile but not the application I submitted after...

I just got my confirmation of permanent residence in the mail and the place of birth is wrong??! I have zero idea how this happened as the city written on there is a completely different city than the one I was born in (it's in a different country even!) and there is NO way I would have written...

I got PPR today and will send my passport info to Ottawa tomorrow. Once I get my documents, I'm wondering if I can land in Victoria (not at the airport, but at the ferry crossing). Has anyone done this? I already live in Victoria so this would be easier than making an appointment. Cheers, G.

So I used to log in to my application through my bank (TD) but I just closed my bank account. Now I can't log in to my application anymore and I have a message (I just got an email), what am I supposed to do?? I tried to open a new account and link my application to it but it's not finding my...

Hi all, So I submitted my application for permanent residence a week ago and today I realized that I did not scan/submit my current work permit (post graduation work permit). I meant to include it with my passport upload, but I had to remove it to scan my passport pages (there was a stamp...

My police certificate from Switzerland was issued on November 8th, 2016 and I'm about to submit my application next week, am I ok?? Or do I have to request a new one? I have not gone back to Switzerland since it was issued. Thank you!!

I donate to so many non-profits (I'm not a member of any though), do I have to include this in the Personal Activities section? Thanks!

I feel like I should now get points based on this: "A Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) will not be needed for certain job offers. Many people in Canada with an LMIA exempt work permit will be able to carry that LMIA exemption under Express Entry if they meet certain conditions." - I have...

I just submitted my EE profile last week (CRS 457) and will be taking TEF in 11 days. I also just submitted the request for Police Certificate to the FBI, which will take months for me to receive. Should I try to schedule the medical exam now or wait until I get ITA? Also, what is involved in...

I read on the forum that if I go back to the U.S. after requesting the police certificate from the FBI, I will have to request a new one. But the CIC website says this: "For countries where you have lived for six months or more, the police certificate must be issued after the last time YOU...

I wasn't planning on taking both language tests, but with a score of 457 I figured I should try to gather a few more points to have a hope of getting an ITA. I took the English test (CELPIP) and declared English as my primary language (French is my first language, but I speak English at home...

This is what a border agent told me, but that seems weird! Could anyone let me know if it's true? I never had to do that when I got PR in the United States, but Canada may be different.

I just got an email that my application has been updated and to log into my account, but when I did nothing had changed? (and no new messages). Is it just a glitch?

So I'm getting my fingerprints done at a local police department where I live (in Canada) tomorrow and I will include the credit card form to pay the $18 USD fee, but will that work since it's a Canadian credit card? I assume it should, but I'm not sure. And I don't think I can do a money...

I just completed my EE profile. I already work in Canada and have for over a year, but I answered "NO" to "do you have a job offer" because I believe my job is LIMA exempt. It seems that I should get awarded points for having a job in Canada though! Can my employer write a letter to help me...

So I just submitted my Express Entry profile, but I got a message that I need to register with a job bank or show I have a job offer. The problem?? I ALREADY work in Canada!! And I have for over a year. I did put that in my profile under "work experience". The message says this: "You must get...
