Anyone applying for OCI from USA? The checklist asks for Canadian Address Proof, which I dont have since I live in the USA. Did anyone navigate through this issue?

I've gone through this information but it is a bit ambiguous on a host of things. In case we go with a statutory declaration, what document need to be notarized in addition to the declaration? (Example, does the photo need to be notarized?) It would be great if someone who went through this...

I applied while in Canada. Moved to the US 6 months later. Updated my address and phone number when I moved. Took my oath last week.

Anyone went through the process of getting a Canadian passport for the first time from USA? I'm lost on how to fulfill the guarantor requirements. Been here for less than 2 years and cannot use a profession based guarantor, and the process to provide a statutory declaration in lieu of guarantor...

My My situation is, I traveled after the 3 month grace period and know that there is a penalty. What I cannot understand is, how this penalty is paid because nowhere in the renunciation application they ask for passport usage beyond 3 months, and request payment of penalty. Anyone went through...

What is the penalty for traveling on Indian passport after 3 months of acquiring Canadian citizenship? We visited USA for 1 day trip recently. There is no stamp on the passport but the i94 online has the entries. Additionally, the Indian citizenship surrender application does not ask for travel...

This is quite interesting, and personally for me, exciting. I too live in the US and have been scheduled for oath on 7th September. Do not know whether it is a in-person or virtual ceremony. Is there a way to find out before we get the actual invitation in the email? In case, it is in-person...

Same timeline. No updates since test was marked as complete on Dec 12th. There was a ghost update on March 2nd.

Which office are you in? Those in Scarborough are delayed.

I did the test on Dec 11. The tracker used to show "waiting on you" until yesterday. Today this message has disappeared, but not update on test status. is this the usual sequence of events?

Thank you @dpenabill. Insightful as always.

That was the reason why I didn't apply for renewal. Do you think I can just use my copr to enter Canada multiple times?also to note, I will have to use my Indian passport and US drivers license as ID at the PoE.

@dpenabill, i'm currently residing in the USA and meet RO until June 2025 (move to US in July 2022 after being in Canada continuously since 2018 Jan as PR). I have a Citizenship application in progress as well and expect it to complete in a few months. My PR card is expiring in Feb 2023, and I...

Thanks for the response. The reason why I've not applied for PR renewal is that I've declared in my Citizenship application that I'm living in the US, and the application has my US address. Would I be able to apply for PR card by travelling to Canada temporarily, and using a different address?

I became landed immigrant in Jan 2018, and lived in Canada until July 2022 (3.5 years). In July 2022 I moved to the USA for work on non-immigrant visa. My citizenship application is in progress and I will likely receive it in the next 6 months. However, my PR card is expiring in Feb-2023 and I...

I've done a lot more reading since I wrote this and think I have answers for atleast a couple. 2. Should not be a problem to use the Indian passport for travel because of grace period of 3 months, I'm assuming, within these 3 months, there is no limitation on the number of trips. 5. Applying for...

Congratulations. I too have in person ceremony scheduled for 6th December Mississauga. Did you receive your certificate on the same date as your ceremony?

Paper application Dec 2022. Indian passport holder, moved to US in Aug 2022 on L1 visa. Updated US address on file. Received oath invite to attend the ceremony in Mississauga, along with my 8 yr old son, 1. My son got his own invite. Does he need to attend the ceremony? He does not have any...
