Hi there, My family and I just became eligible to apply for citizenship. My oldest child just turned 18 and I am wondering if we can all apply together or if they need to submit their own application? Is he still considered a dependent since he still lives at home? Thank you!

Thanks for the responses. I feel pretty confident that I won't have an issue boarding my plane back to Canada. I'll board with my us passport and not mention that I'm a pr. I'll let you know how it goes

I'm going to board with my us passport. Since I don't go through immigration until I get back to Canada, I am going to take my chances.

American passport. It's valid.

Hi, I'm leaving on a short weekend trip to the states tomorrow to see my 95 years old grandmother. I just realized that my pr card expired a week ago (fail, I know). The airport I land at when I return to Canada has me doing immigration/customs when I land. Can I be denied entry when I'm already...

Hi, I'm leaving tomorrow for a short trip out of canada and I just realized my residence card expired a week ago ( fail, I know). I am flying, and the airport I come back through has me going through immigration AFTER I land. I've met all requirements and have lived in Canada the last 5 years...

I seriously procrastinated the b4 form and declaration of goods. I had no idea it would be this complicated. I am planning on landing tomorrow in toronto and moving in october. This is just a vacation and I am not bringing anything with me that is staying behind. I am so overwhelmed at the...

Could I claim all of our stuff to be my husbands? Honestly, i have gotten rid of most of my stuff over the years aside from some special items and clothing of course. We are buying new furniture after we move and all of the expensive electronic items are my husbands.

oh dear. I definitely should not have procrastinated on figuring all of this out. I don't see how I can do an inventory of all of my stuff by tomorrow morning (that is when we fly to toronto). My only other option I guess is to do all of this when we move. I was hoping to do this part and the...

Hi all, I have a question about the b4 form and moving inventory. I will be landing in a few days, but not actually moving for another month. I am planning on bringing the b4 form with me. Although, I am now wondering if this is a waste of time since I won't have my inventory of all my goods...

I want to get our citizenship in three years. What are the requirements then for applying for citizenship for minors? I have seen conflicting information.

So, if they are out of the country for two of the three years (this is the point when I plan to apply for citizenship), can I still apply for their citizenship, and will they be eligible for citizenship?

Hi everyone, I have run into a bit of an issue. The father of my children is now not wanting my kids to join me in canada until next june. I was approved recently, and have a landing date of october 16th. I am under the impression that if my kids wait that long to join me in canada they will...

Once again, thank you! Your responses have been so helpful! It all seems pretty straightforward now. I applied in January, and was approved in June. I can' t believe it was so quick. My file was transferred to Seattle. Seattle definitely seems to be the quickest office.

Wow, thanks! My mind has definitely been eased about not moving until december. Now I am confused about the whole address thing and getting my pr cards. Can I move in december without having our pr cards in hand? The address I have listed is my husband's home. currently he has tenants, but they...

Thank you for your responses! I should have clarified that I definitely intend on landing before oct. 16th. I know not to mess around with that date. I was just wondering if I can come back and tie up last minute things after I land before making the permanent move. It sounds like from your...

I was approved in 5 months. I mailed the package on January 4th and was approved on June 4th. Serious wow! My file was transferred to Seattle...it was only in Buffalo for a few weeks. Seattle definitely seems to be the quickest visa office.

Hi everyone, I need a bit of advice. My children and I were granted our PR status a few weeks ago. Hooray! CIC says that I need to land permanently by october 16th. The problem is, I can't move until december. I was expecting this to take much longer than it did. It took less than 5 months! I...

Hi, I got my request for passports email and they are wanting photocopies of mine and my children's passports in 30 days. The problem with this is that the passports are in my children's fathers possession and he won't be back in the country until two days after the requested 30 days. I have...

Don't worry! It's not as bad as you might think. I just got my approval letter yesterday. My husband and I got married after only 3 months of being together, and we met on facebook. We did wait a year after being married to apply so we had lots of pictures and. It is rare that american's...
