Good catch, thanks. Had no idea about that website

Silly question, but I ran out of space for item 9 of the application form (where applicants must list all their Canadian addresses over the last five years). I simply moved around too much and there's no space in the form. What is the recommended process to address this? Thanks in advance

Thanks in advance for your help. Apologies if this is a silly question. I'm working through the documents checklist for citizenship. One of the requirements is a police certificate "from each country outside of Canada where I was present for a total of 183 days or more in a row in the four...

Thanks. So the steps would be to 1) file all the name change paperwork with the province and 2) subsequently get a new PR card ahead of applying for citizenship? Or can both 1 and 2 be done simultaneously?

Hello, I am about to start the citizenship process as a current permanent resident. I would like to change my surname to something more practical for Canada. Does the regular citizenship application process allow for this? If not, what is the best way to approach this? Change name before...

Thanks Asivad! It has been a week already and no replies. Again, I just emailed PC-CTD-Ottawa@cic.gc.ca to let them know my new address is different. What is a VO Change Request? Is there a specific form I have to go through? I searched for the term in the forum but found no entries...

Thanks everyone for your input. CIC still hasn't replied to my email. Can someone please share the process of changing your address in order for CIC to send my passport to the right one? Thanks in advance

Thanks for your input but that is inaccurate in my case given that CIC needs to produce a stamp for my passport in order for me to be allowed into Canada. Any other takers?

Hi all -- I was notified of my admission to the FSWP through Express Entry. In the email they ask me to submit a number of documents within the next 30 days. However, I applied while in one country, and now I am in a different country. Per the email's instructions, I notified CIC by email about...

Do we need to update our profile (after ITA submission but before receiving PR) every time we travel outside of our home country? Thanks in advance!

Hello, I submit my permanent residence application a couple months ago and is under processing. I have since then changed my mind about the city where I intend to reside. However, no edits are possible in the "view application" section. Would this be an issue later on? If so, how should I go...

FWIW I did the same as the original poster. No reference letters for any work experience that doesn't count towards points. Submit beginning of June as well, no additional docs needed thus far.

Hi everyone, I applied from a foreign country where I currently live (but not my citizenship country) and submit all documentation required for the ITA. Still waiting to get the final approval by CIC to receive my permanent residence (PR). My question is: what happens if I move to another...

Thanks Asivad. So if you get your physical done ahead of time it's actually slower? Interesting!

Bump -- interested in this as well. Then again I can imagine not many people would have an incentive to come back to the forum after submitting so karma points from me guaranteed for any reply!

Thanks Dan! True -- I think I'm just getting addicted to the radiation from my scanner at this point...

Thanks Anya! This looks like an oversight on their process...

Hi everyone! Where do we upload the results of the IELTS test after ITA? They ask for the score but they request no proof afterwards. Is this assumed to be provided in the educational proof section? Thanks

This is a really stupid question but having lived in Europe, you'd be surprised how many businesses do not accept online payment after business hours... Can we pay for ITA fees over the weekend? Any input would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Do we seriously need to sign this? I understand requiring other people to sign their respective letters for authenticity, but what's the rationale behind signing your own letter? 1) I don't think many people appreciate the logistical problems that a silly signature imply for those who do not...
