Thanks for the quick response! A follow up question: It seems the paper application form (cit0002e-2) is asking for the income taxes in the last 5 years, is that a recent change on the requirement? I thought on CIC's website it only mentioned of the most recent 3 years of tax docs out of 5...

Hi, I'm preparing for applying online for the citizenship and have a few quick questions, I have not created an online account yet since it's timed, but would like to know the following in advance to better prepare the application. Many thanks in advance! If the applicant is more than 65 yo at...

i know how to read terms and conditions, and according the IRCC/CBSA terms and conditions, you are right about using home country passport can be considered as reavailment, but that's not the point i want to make. the point is, does "using home country passport" automatically equal to an...

Thank you! It’s more clear now. Should I select yes this part and enclose my national passport in folder? will they seize it again if send it them? Do you have any valid travel document or passport from any country other than Canada? O Yes, enclose the document (original only). If no longer...

this might work, i didn't go this route because that office is by appointment only and i wasn't sure if i'd be stopped at the door without an appointment letter, i would try that if i haven't heard back via webform. it's nice that they provided the email address on the door, the webform agent...

here is how you do it: 1. use webform -> pr process -> explain that you have already become PR and wish to have the documents back 2. wait for their response, for me it took 6 weeks to hear back, you can also send another webform in a few weeks to follow up, or you can call that 1-800 number but...

I'm curious about what can the agent do when we speak to them? assuming it's non-urgent, will they help accelerate the process, or they will simply tell us yes yes everything in order just be patient you will receive it when it's your time to receive it?

I thought it would stop counting on the day you were officially considered as a claimant, in my example, wouldn't IRCC need to at least determine that eligibility in the eligibility interview in Oct 2020? Also let's just say Sep 2020 is the cutoff date, and I assume there is a 5-year look back...

Sample timeline (100% live in Canada): Jan 2020 - Arrived Canada as a visitor Sep 2020 - Submitted in-Canada application for protection Oct 2020 - Attended IRCC eligibility interview and submitted passport Jan 2021 - Refugee Protection Claimant Document was issued and received, along with work...

Is the immigration category removed on the new PR card (latest design)? I looked at both front and back and was unable to find the category section which was available on the old design (pre 2015). If the category is indeed removed, is there a way to tell the category just by looking at the...

If you read my question, you might realize that what I was asking is a specific experience from a specific person, not something that can be found on the CIC website.

Hi I wonder have you recently used the passport to travel without issue? if so can you please share the experience? For example did CBSA ask you why you use the passport, or did they give you a hard time at the border etc. Thanks.

Thanks for all the responses, please allow me to clarify a few things The purpose of this post is to discuss how to get the passport, not why. Getting the passport back and using the passport are two separate things, and I'm aware of the policies and stance from IRCC/CBSA on using it. There are...

Thanks, I'm in BC, can I send email the same CBSA address, or 6900 is the Ontario address and BC has a different number?

Thanks for the response, do you know for the former, what is an estimated wait time to get the passports mailed back? And for the latter, what are the steps to request?

First I understand we shouldn't travel with the home country passport, but I also understand that my home country passport is my personal belonging and we are eligible to request it back once we become PR. The purpose of this thread is to understand how to get it back. I've searched this forum...

Thanks for the response, I'm just wondering has anyone received the non-urgent RTD ever since the process was restarted after covid?

TBH the whole reason I wanted to be able to go back to Canada is to revisit my spouse. If I have to wait 5 years or 10 years to reapply for PR that's fine. I will be content if I can still be given a regular visitor visa in the near future. Also my other priority is to reunite with my child and...

I used the wrong word "appeal", in my case, I voluntarily renounce the PR status, and CIC will strip my protect person status because me visiting home country, after that I don't have any status in Canada. I know I also naively used words like "TRP", "H&C", and I'm not an expert on this, as you...

I see, so basically if I choose this route, which I know is terrible and should only be considered in extreme desperate, it's probably should be done from the very beginning, go back to home country, sort out everything, apply again in the spouse stream, they will strip my protected status and...
