    Translating passport stamps

    I have a single stamp from my home country in a foreign language. And it's not a travel stamp, but just a registration with the embassy in Canada. It has nothing to do with exit / entry. But I can see that an interview person might get confused as to what that stamp is. Is it necessary to...

    Forgot to include one night trip to US on a presence calculator

    I forgot to include a one-night trip to a friend's cottage on the presence calculator. Already got an invite to the exam. What should I do? Should I try to amend now or just be proactive and mention it on the interview first? Thanks.

    Is PR card necessary for citizenship exam?

    My wife had applied for citizenship in January and looking at the spreadsheet, it is very likely that she'll be taking the exam and getting her citizenship by the end of the year. Her PR card is expiring in October. The process of getting a new one is tedious and costs money. I was wondering...

    Applying out of Canada?

    > You are supposed to be in Canada when you apply. Do you have a source for that? I was not able to find that information on the CIC site.

    Applying out of Canada?

    Does CIC allow applying for citizenship from outside Canada? The presence requirement is met, we are just on an extended vacation and don't want to delay the application. If it is allowed, then how do dates on the requirement calculator work? If we are absent at the time of application, do we...

    183 days out of the country - police clearance question

    Thank you @dpenabill for your super detailed response. Theoretically, Thailand does provide police certificates by mail. But in reality, it's a hairy issue. As you noted, first of all, they require a written request from a government body. In this case, I don't have a request, other than the...

    Do you need to provide a reason for moving the date? What is the wording like? Does it need to be a serious reason?

    Police certificate from Thailand

    List of occupations / studies

    In the list of occupations / studies on the citizenship application it says to have no gaps, or the form will be returned. This does not make sense at all. What if my wife was a homemaker. She did not study or work for a few months. What does CIC expect to see written for that period? Side...

    Detailed country list

    How important is it to provide a nitty gritty detailed list of countries? E.g. we travelled to Thailand, but stopped in Malaysia for several days on the way in and visited Vietnam on the way out. So in the calculator, technically we left the country only once, but visited several countries in a...

    183 days out of the country - police clearance question

    Was filling out the form for my wife today and stumbled on this question. It's quite a surprised and I am not prepared! My wife and I travel a lot. I am lucky to be able to work from anywhere, so we have a habit of leaving for the winter. Our favourite destination is Thailand. And it so happens...

    Travelling with spouse

    Hey, My spouse is a PR, and I'm a citizen. However, we do travel a lot. Not for work. I work remotely and am able to work from anywhere. I was pretty sure there was a law that allowed her to accrue days while being with me overseas. However, now I am looking back at the rules and it says only...
