I'm filling out the application to renew my PR card and I've run out of slots to use for my travel history. I'm filling out the PDF in adobe. Do I just attach a spreadsheet with all the dates, or is there a way to add more slots? It doesn't mention anything on the application.

Oh goodness, I'm seeing it's taking ~90 days to process PR renewals and about 12 months to file citizenship apps, so I guess I have my answer.

Hello! I'm due to renew my PR card in July 2018 but I'm considering just rushing to complete my citizenship app. I just requested my entry/exit records via the FOIA and I know I'm eligible to apply. Any idea on how long the processing for these things take? How much prep do I need to do for...

Wow! This is perfect, thank you so much. I am a US citizen, so I'll be going through the US entry/exit record as I've only been to the US. Thank you!

So, I have been a permanent resident since April 23, 2013. I have begun looking into filling out my citizenship application however I am stuck when it comes to verifying my physical presence because I cannot remember the exact travel dates . I am in Quebec, my family is in Rhode Island, and we...

When I applied not everyone would get an AOR. Some would, some wouldnt. Hang tight, no need to worry yet!

Thank you very much! Should I plan to be moved to Montreal before a certain time? I would like to wait before about two weeks before school starts, but I'm not sure if I have to move earlier than that.

Hello! So, I know that I need to get my loans in order to have proof of funds. I'm in the process of doing that already. I also know that I dont' have to get a medical certificate. What I am confused about is how the application process goes. On the Quebec Immigration website, it says that I...

Bumpin' it! :D

Thank you! I know that she has to get different loans from different places since it's rare someone will just give her 30k. I'm looking for information from someone who has been through this process and is a US citizen as well. Thank you again! :D

So, I am a Canadian resident who received permanent residency because my husband is Canadian. My sister found out last night that she got accepted into Concordia University's English Literature program, and we are now trying to figure out what we need to do to get her the student visa and...

I am just bumping this up because after reading through a few topics, I am seeing that some people are in a horrible rut. I hear you. I get you. I'm sorry. :( Applying for residency was probably one of the most stressful and difficult things that I've ever done. My husband and I joke that we...

Hello there! In 2010, I started the application process to become a Permanent Resident of Canada and now my sister would like to join me by going to school here. The thing is, I know very little about how to get a student visa and what is necessary or not. The big questions right now are: 1)...

I did travel outside of the country, but I applied out land. I just renewed my "visa" when the 6 months were up. If you applied inland, you don't have to renew your visa as you have implied status. If you leave the country when applying inland you risk your application getting thrown out.

I'm glad that this words are helping some of you! I wish that someone would have said something similar to me while I was stressed out over things that were exactly out of my control. Remember, processing times are AVERAGES which include applications that have to be re-done and applications...

Hey guys! It's been a long while since I've been around. On April of 2013, I landed in Quebec and became a permanent resident after nearly a three years of research, file gathering, application filling, and waiting. I just want to reach out and encourage everyone who is currently stressed out...

Hola! So, I become a permanent resident of Canada in April of 2013. I just received a letter from Revenu Quebec saying I owe them $200 for 2012? I'm trying to make sense of this, but I cannot. How the heck do I owe taxes for a year that I wasn't even WORKING or a RESIDENT? I was here as a...

Ah, okay. WEll in that case I can probably just file myself. I'm actually trying to figure out if I nee dto file in Quebec at all. Ahhh, tax season here is going to be good fun!

Has anyone filled out the paperwork online via the program that the IRS offers on their website? That is what I was thinking of doing, as I think my case is pretty straight forward. I made 2k this year while dog walking as an independent contractor, and my husband and I's bank account has yet to...

WHAT?!!! That's absurd! I worked as a dog walker, which is technically an independent contractor, and I made 2k! Ugh. I'de love to hire an accountant, but I don't have nearly the money to pay for that. We hire one for our canadian taxes, but they cost barely a thing. I'll have to look into it...
