My BG Verification was completed first in 2019 and then again in early 2022.
Guess they'd do the next one in 2023 :p . I do not have a representative and neither am I going to bother with contacting an MP. Let them take their sweet time.
I'd think that when IRCC makes it's determination of whether an individual fulfills his residency obligation (as a PR one has a residency obligation), the said determination is based on objective and factual evidence and not subjective appearances or impressions. No? If the latter were true...
I had your exact same situation. I moved permanently from the US to Canada when I had 2 years and 5 months remaining (i.e., 2 years and 7 months after I landed).
After I moved to Canada for good, with a 5 month buffer, like you - stuff happened and I had to travel. I was out of the country for...
Dear Shaun88,
Whether you have to provide a SIN number depends on the banking product you are opening.
You do not need a SIN number to open a Deposit Account (Checking or Saving) in Canada, you might need a residential address in Canada though.
You also do not need to provide the SIN number...
If I deleted something why do I still see the following in my original post ?
"1. Immigration is not a right.
2. Discrimination is not always wrong. It is wrong when its used to deny you a God given right. Here there is no right, so even if they were racially discriminating (which they dont)...
First of all find out if you can renew your passport one year before expiry. Some countries allow renewal only within the last 6 months.
You should know that valid visas in expired passports continue to remain valid, until the Visa itself expires. You would have to carry the old one and new one...

Ah right.. so ihabkal am sure you wouldn't have a problem if your neighbor walked into your home, takes your hard earned money and buys a BMW, eats your food, sleeps on your bed, uses your toilet etc...for his entire life hey after all according to you "Earth was divided into countries by...
Agreed. Which is why I wrote "6. Individual human beings do mess (thats part and parcel of our fallen human nature), including people who work at CIC. Even if that happens, that does not somehow make CIC as a whole "messy"."
Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam.
I think you are plain wrong.
1. Immigration is not a right.
2. Discrimination is not always wrong. It is wrong when its used to deny you a God given right. Here there is no right, so even if they were racially discriminating (which they dont), thats their choice to...

Heliosdz, you do not have to do anything at this point. When your PPR comes, send both your passports. They'll stamp the new one with your immigrant visa and return both. I had the same situation as yours but went for an in person stamping. They dint even want anything...
I dont know. I notice that they now have a different notice on their website starting sometime last night:
http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/buffalo/visas/submit_soumettre.aspx?view=d
I fear I was probably one of the last to get the thing stamped. Until yesterday there was a different note...
I understand that there is confusion around the closing of the Buffalo consulate. If you have a passport request from Buffalo (ie one just asking you to submit passports to Buffalo and NOT one which asks you to submit passports to some other office.) - you can still go and get it stamped in...
Long time reader. Thank you all for all the wonderful information you provide.

When you submit your application - you ony need an FBI record check. If Buffalo requires a police certificate from the individual states, they would let you know at a later stage. In other words only FBI for now.
