Absolutely! I cannot imagine the nonsense they deal with but, they need to be professionals too. I am always respectful, I know they have a tough job.

Thank you! I've decided I will also CC our MP.

One clarification, this was NOT at a PoE. My husband had already undergone immigration inspection and been admitted as a permanent resident when we arrived at Halifax airport. This was when I was clearing our shipment (household goods) through the customs office in Halifax more than a month...

Has anyone ever done this? CBSA screwed up twice when we re-entered the country. Once by filling out our B-4 "goods to follow" form at the airport and again when I was clearing our shipment from overseas. Our form was filled out incorrectly and the officer clearing our shipment gave us incorrect...

He wasn't absent from Canada for three entire years. He was in Canada for three weeks in December 2018. He also resides with me, his Canadian spouse the entire time he was absent from Canada. He has also been living in Canada since July 2018 and was not stopped when we arrived in Canada by...

I'm sorry I don't understand what you mean.

We've visited Canada every Christmas for 3 weeks and every summer for 6 weeks for 2015, 2016, and 2017. My husband (The PR) has accompanied me (a Canadian citizen) the entire time we lived in Switzerland. That satisfies the RO, no? Also he lived in in Canada for nearly 5 years as a PR before...

We just returned to Canada (NS) after a stint abroad. My husband had lived in Canada (as a PR) for nearly 5 years previously before we had to return to Switzerland to get healthcare for our eldest child. We spent nearly 3 years in Switzerland and my son had two major orthopaedic surgeries while...

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Olivia :)

I am a Canadian citizen, as are all three of our children. Thanks in advance for any help. Olivia

Hello all! I am hoping that you can shed some light on what we should do for my husband. He is a Swiss citizen and has had his PR for five years. The PR card expired in July 2016 and we are unsure of what to do. At first we thought we needed to renew his card, but obviously we can't since we...

I'm Canadian, the children are Canadian too. It's only him submitting a citizenship application.

Thank you. :) We an have an IT security company. I was just getting nervous due to the travels. We're trying to validate all the dates he has been gone. He's never gone for more than about 2 weeks, but it's getting *all* the dates. Ugh. I certainly do not want to miss any. Thank you...

Thank you for your prompt reply. :) Details: He travels every 2-3 months for a week, maybe two. We own a company in Switzerland (LLC), but run it from here in Canada. Our (3) children all attend school here. I attend university here. We file Canadian taxes here. We travel as a family...

I've been reading about RQs and I am now worried that when my husband files his application, it will be flagged as non-routine due to all the business travel he does. I am a worry wart by nature, but can anyone comment on their own experience? Thanks! Olivia

Anyone? Bueller?

My husband got his PR nearly three years ago. We are gathering the documentation to apply for this citizenship. I have a few questions and concerns regarding the application and supporting documents. - school records for our 3 (Canadian) children. We have report cards for them while we lived...

Nothing too special. Just a nice dinner sans children. ;) It felt like a race to the finish, since he had to leave for Switzerland on the 29th. lol FTR, if you are from a visa waiver country you will have no problem getting back into the country with your COPR and your passport, in my...

Just a not my husband landed on May 24th, 2011. ;) I hope things hurry up for the rest of you and the strike is resolved.

See our time line. We applied through the Paris embassy and are from Switzerland. Ours went rather quickly. It depends on your personal situation, but if you have everything in order it can go very smoothly. Hope that helps. Olivia
