Hi All, I finally received my test date on ECAS for February 19, 2016. Unfortunately I will be overseas for work at that time. I called CIC. An agent forwarded me some information but she was not very helpful. She told me that my office is Scarborough. Should I send a mail to Scarborough...

App received: June 9 AOR: August 5 In process: September 14. Toronto. I am happy that I finally have "In Process". Let me know if you have any suggestions: I have been outside of Canada for a while now, but I don't think I should be notifying CIC. I will be back on the first week of Oct...

Hi All, AOR received today. Application received on June 9th, AOR received on August 5th. Good luck to you all.

Good to hear, thanks for confirming with the CIC.

Guys don't make me panic. I only included the bio page of my last passport (since Feb 2011), not the older one, simply because it was not required. My PR application was returned back to me for a very stupid thing, I hope the same won't happen this time...

Hi everyone, I am one of the lucky ones whose application was received on June 9th. A few questions: I realized that I left some sections empty in the application form rather than putting N/A. Are they too much picky on this? Those sections were mostly the very obvious ones (e.g. the...

I think many (or all) government websites are down, so no need to panic: see: http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/ http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/

Hi everyone, A few questions: I meet the conditions of physical presence on "2015-06-05" (June 5th), which means that I can submit my application on June 6th. I have a flight scheduled at June 8th, which is a Monday. Ideally I should be sending it on June 8th, but since I am half-absent...

I have a question about 6E and 6F. Do you list your vacations under 6E? In addition to couple of vacations, I also conducted fieldwork outside of Canada for four months (in multiple sites). Should I include this or not? The period is included in my online calculator. The same question goes for...

Guys, sorry for spamming here, but I thought I might be doing everything wrong. Back to the residence calculator: I am confused about how to enter "from" and "to" to calculate absence. For instance I went to Denmark from 2012-10-16 to 2012-10-21 (5 days). Basically on 2012-10-16 I was in...

Thanks for the answer. You are right, I wasn't thinking clearly about the situation. One more question though: I don't fully understand "applicant must meet the qualifications as of the day before the application is signed" part. Basically, in the online calculator it says "you will accumulate...

Hi All, I realized that all of my previous residency calculations were wrong. I was putting the date I arrived to an overseas country, not the date I left Canada. There is 1 day difference and in total of 7 trips, this makes 7 days difference. I can no longer apply in May. But it is even...

Thanks for the answers. In the meantime I realized that I am a super dumb person. All of my previous calculations were wrong. I was putting the date I arrived to an overseas country, not the date I left Canada. There is 1 day difference and in total of 7 trips, this makes 7 days difference. I...

Hi Everyone, I have another question to you: I am working on the residency calculator. Should I include air tickets or other supporting documents (e.g. conference invitation etc.).? I only included 1 air ticket because the entry date was not legible. Would you suggest adding all the tickets...

What happens if I don't? I don't want to slow down the process while I am away. How do they communicate with you? If it is via email or letter, I might even come back and take the test or perhaps tell them that I will be absent when they send out the notification for the date of the test and...

Hi everyone, Two questions to you: 1. I fulfill the residency requirements on May 27th. And I am planning to submit the application on May 28 with UPS (should be there on May 29). Any thoughts? I don't want t to risk it, if the law gets implemented on June 1st. I have entry-exit stamps in my...

Agreed. What I am wandering is also the 'technical' aspect of the 'intent to reside' requirement. If they really want to enforce this, they will need special technical systems and trained personnel to keep tab on people -to put them under 'surveillance'. What would happen, say, if I leave Canada...

Congrats people. My situation is still uncertain though. Even though I am in Canada since 2009 and got my PR on Sept, 2012, under the old-rules I will be legible to apply only on June 01, 2015 (because of large absences due to work). Do you think I still have a chance? Do they take into account...
