Very happy to report that I received my new card. From shipping of PR renewal application to new card in hand, 16 days. I am very impressed. Now to start working on my citizenship application.

A couple reasons. 1. I didn't realize how long it could potentially take to renew and only caught on that I needed to get my application in just 3 months prior. 2. I travel very frequently for business and need to be on constant standby to travel outside of Canada at short notice. I provided a...

I sent in my application for PR card renewal marked urgent last week. it was received on 5/11 and I received email confirmation on 5/16 with Decision Made on 5/17. What are the chances it has been processed and approved in a day vs being kicked back for some reason?

Than you. I have now resolved this. I do have a couple follow up questions: 1. Do my photocopies (PR Card and Passport both English) need to be notarized? 2. Many of my trips are business trips. On the new form I have top option of selecting A/B/C/Other. It is unclear if A covers business...

I am just wrapping up my (Urgent) PR Card renewal application and need to verify a few things: 1. I completed my detailed absence list, and though I have had many short trips I am still very far from not meeting the residency requirements. That said, for family vacations, is there any harm to...

I would appreciate some advice on an upcoming PR Card renewal. I have been putting off applying for my citizenship mostly due to time I would need to pull together my travel history over the last 5 years, but now I am getting close to my PR card expiring and I need to be mobile for work. My card...

Just received my CoPR document and it's valid for several months to complete landing. My question is, I am already in Canada and usually pop down to the USA to grab mail once a week. I am not ready to land as I need to get all the details of my Goods to Follow list. Am I able to cross back into...

Thanks, that part I have down. Trying to figure out if I have to have me belongings with me from the USA at the time of landing, or if I can still import at a later date as a part of my establishing residence

And finally I see the end of the tunnel.. Received my letter to provide copy of passport, the Appendix A and 2 Pictures. I have a USA passport, being visa exempt. Do I need to send two new pics aside from those I had sent with my application?

Mississauga. My background check started early December. I was asked to provide some additional information, which I did about 2-3 weeks ago.. so I am hoping that was sufficient.

Soooo this just happened. Checked the online services and it says Decision made. Click on it and nothing is updated since their last communication to me in December. Not received anything else? Does that mean, I am finally at the end of this road?

Thanks for the comments. I did spend more than 6 months there, but not consecutively. We would work 3 or 4 months on and 1 month at home and then back again. I did that for 6 years. I did write up a letter of explanation, sent copies of the 7 or so emails I sent to agencies and to the Consulate...

So frustrating... my background check has been held up for 7 weeks because they now want a police certificate from Afghanistan where I did some work years ago. Afghanistan, one of the most corrupt and bureaucratic countries who doesn't have a formal process for foreigners to obtain a police...

Is there a format for an LoE? What forms of evidence did you provide and how long did it take for them to approve it? I am still waiting on one last attempt result from contacts in Kabul before I submit an LoE

Hey there, I would be interested to chat with you as it seems we are in the same boat of needing an Afghan PCC.. Have you made any progress? Have you had any success with providing proofs and an LoE to Canada immigration? The embassy is a dead end and having to try and work contacts in Kabul is...

Well, just as I thought my application was progressing along well..snag. I have been asked to provide a police clearance certificate for the time I spent working in Afghanistan (Foreign contractor working on US Government funded programs). The embassy has been of no help and don't respond and I...
