Yep, just realized this as well, she can't enter on UK passport once she's a Canadian citizen. This could be awkward as my father isn't well and we may need to go there on short notice, but looks like my daughter needs to wait for 1) citizenship certificate to arrive in Canada, 2) certificate to...

I'm in a very unique situation. My daughter has been granted citizenship while we are overseas (where I am temporarily working). She was caught up in the whole "second generation abroad" Bill C37 nonsense. Finally resolved after 3 year ordeal, but now here's the complication: we had to mail her...

Hi There, I'm an unfortunate victim of the Bill C-37 "2nd generation born abroad", whereby my daughter born abroad in 2016 wasn't considered a Canadian citizen since I too was born abroad, despite having a long lineage of Canadian ancestors. Anyway, that's been discussed to death and it is what...

Thanks for the response. Regarding entries/exits, it won't be possible. I travel all the time for business meetings and such to neighboring countries for 1-2 day periods at a time. There are literally hundreds of entries/exits to various countries over the past 5 years. I'm sure we'll have...

Hi All, My question is very specific, but not short enough to cover in the thread title! Here goes: 1) I'm a Canadian citizen. My wife is Canadian PR. Her current card expires end of this year. 2) We've been living/working overseas for a number of years. However, since we have been living...

Yep I got the same email. Here's my understanding: In the previous letter that discussed the Sch A, it said the following two sentences: "The Case Processing Centre in Mississauga will continue to hold the associated Application for Permanent Residence awaiting the submission of a completed...

Follow up: Today I received letter notifying they had forwarded application to the visa office in Singapore, so can confirm that no Sch A was required. It was just a template letter.

I received the exact same letter for sponsoring my daughter (also 2 years old). It hasn't been 5 days yet, so am waiting it out, but I'm guessing it's just a template letter and no Schedule A will actually be required. My backup plan however is to submit it via Webform next week anyway, with an...

Hi there. I just received the exact same letter as original poster. I'm a Canadian citizen, sponsoring my daughter, who is 1 years old. I'm confused though because in the online guide it says Schedule A only needs to be filled out if PA is over 18. Presumably they will send a follow-up request...

Hi All, Thought I'd just post my timeline here, sponsoring my daughter who is not a Canadian citizen due to the ridiculous "second generation born abroad" clause (I was born in UK to Canadian parents). Anyway, here is timeline: - Application sent - June 9, 2017 - Received - June 13, 2017...

Very clear. Thanks very much!

Thanks all for the useful replies. Very much appreciated. I have one follow-up question. I have seen several posts (including from two members above, as well as on other forums and anecdotal accounts), that once my daughter receives PR, she can immediately apply for citizenship without the...

Thanks for the very informative reply. Much appreciated. Follow up question: If she entered on her Canadian passport and then the application for POC was rejected, they would likely cancel her Canadian passport. Would we then have to leave Canada and re-enter on one of her other passports with...

My daughter's in a strange situation regarding her citizenship which I'd like some thoughts on. I've scoured the internet and found nobody else with my case. Apologies for lengthly description, but here's a summary: I am a Canadian citizen, born in England to 2 Canadian parents. My wife is a...
