My hubby sent his in Sept 2016. But it went into SR in Nov 2016. Despite that, he got his PR card this week without ever having to present fresh documents. So, it does seem like the processing is much faster now than before. We initially thought that it might take up to a year. Hopefully, the...

Just couple of hours because he was in the USA for meeting...came back to canada and left on the same day. Would that be considered 1 day? Or, should it be left out from the list of absences?

Thanks....what if he transits via Canada i.e In and Out on the same day. Is that considered 1 day or 0 days?

Hi, My spouse will be eligible to renew his PR soon. But, we are unsure if our calculations are correct and would appreciate some input from the seniors in this forum : Example : May 31 2012 ( in) June 12 2012 ( out) Days in canada is 13 days? Or, is it 12 days?? Thanks

Vancouver....our friends also has the same timeline...around 3 months from test date and they are also applying from Vancouver. I noticed that our Ecas was only updated a few days ago and on the same week we received the oath letters. So, I think once status has been updated to Ecas....the oath...

Hi...we got our oath invite for Feb 12....took us almost 3 months since test completed on Nov 18. Finally...

For the actual test...if we are unsure about a particular question, are we allowed to skip to the next question and come back to answer it later?

Finally got the test date....Nov 18....excited that it is finally moving and yet nervous because it is the last step to finally become a Canadian. I started reading the book yesterday and boy....those dates and names... :-( There is a pink document enclosed together with the test invite...

Hi, I have an apartment available for rent by Dec 1 2015 in Coquitlam. Property is located in city centre, and is 5 mins walking distance to the mall, 10-15mins walk to the public library and other community facilities. Great location for newcomers....apartment is meant for single or couple...

I got my AOR on June 30th but my status was only changed to In Process on Aug 27. so, you are not alone :-) There was a mistake made in my child's name on eCAS which I only found out after 6 weeks of being in "Received" status. I'm unsure if this might have contributed to the longer processing...

Hi...I submitted my application in May 2015 and the status was updated in eCAS as "Received" on July 1. Thereafter, there's been no updates at all. I reported a mistake in my son's last name in eCAS to CIC about 3 weeks ago. The agent told me that the mistake should not cause any delay in the...

Hi all...I noticed this discrepancy as well. My kids' birth certificates are not in English and had to be translated to English when we applied for PR. I initially included a copy of the translated and non English version of the birth certs in the application. After reviewing the guide, I now...

Hi seniors...about the online residence calculator, does it matter if the dates are sequenced from oldest absences to most current absences. Or, it has to be from most current absences to oldest? Also, I had some travels which included overnight transits and short vacations in the USA. But...

Guys, I have been reading that CIC does not want applicants to staple the documents but to use paper clips instead. What the citizenship application forms and the online residence calculator itself? There are so many pieces of paper...wouldn't it be safer to staple it together so that the...

I will be submitting our applications in a week too. Am gathering the documents right now and noticed that the photos taken at London Drugs are slightly smaller than the requirement of 35x45mm. It came out to be 35x43 mm and 35x44 mm. I am wondering if I should get the photos re-taken? This is...

Thanks guys,...I will submit as plan and indicate the correct spelling on the forms. Hopefully, everything goes smooth.
