Our Canada immigration journey has concluded! Immigrated as PR March 2019, sent in our paper citizenship application (family of 4) Jan 2023, and we are having our in person oath ceremony this Thursday, Jan25, 2024. Cheers!

I am applying for citizenship with my family. We came to Canada on PR in March 2019 and never left. It still has been more than 6 months in last 4 years that we spent in the previous country. Do i need the police certificate anyway?

If you can figure out a way financially, i would suggest come here and do a 1-2 year college course, that will give you work permit, on that then you can start your life here in Canada. While you are a student, your spouse can have work permit and work and kid will have free public schools...

Just that fsw draws are getting delayed and potentially there may be smaller draws in future due to this as it is big percentage of overall invites = longer wait time, more people in the pool, higher crs cutoff.

Congrats, this is truly amazing. It means people who are older, probably working simple jobs, just being part of society and contributing to economy, and otherwise probably had no hope of pr, are now welcome to stay! At the same time, this probably means even tougher competition for fsw stream.

Have you tried calling CIC? It is what helped us. To get best chance to connect, do it first thing in the morning, Toronto time. We only waited 7 months, but in the final weeks that is what helped move our application along. If its taking longer, the customer service reps have the option to...

Only immediate family members of citizens are allowed. Unfortunately not PRs. I guess she'll have to wait out till things normalize or other option is try to get through and land before it takes effect on 18th noon.

You should get some real legal help. I suspect that in Inida you may be able to divorce your wife on the grounds that you havent been living together in the last 6 months, and it may be possible to do so at this point with proper proof and just a single spouse claiming. Im not a lawyer tho, so...

it was free when we did it 15 months ago.

They eventually sent it by post, so probably wait another 1-2 weeks to see if it simply arrives. If you feel worried, just call, maybe it can be picked up from their Delhi office as well.

Just to mention, we got a person through liberty and seems that for such a simple company (single person on contract position) they charge by good 40 % less than most other quotes we got. Most others would take ~250-300 a month for regular single person payroll/invoice/bookkeeping and ~1600 for...

Thats great! How much will you be charged a month? Ill check in with them, too.

please let me know what did you choose and how its going. I just started working 3 days ago in contract position with my new inc. and have no clue how to handle taxes for company and myself, frequency of payments to cra etc.

hm... same here.. Inc, started working 2 days ago and dont yet know how to do taxes for inc as well as personal taxes. If you have accountant, please share details

Thanks! Yeah, we could also pass the pitch that we don't plan to stay there and previously did reside in another province, however short our stay was (4-5 months), so maybe we can at least apply for the 'temporary' option. Another language is certainly advantage, but for the first 1.5 years of...

:) Got it. Well, new adventures then i suppose!

So we first moved to Alberta, Calgary in March, and our oldest kid (7) went to 2nd grade for 3 months here, in English. If we move to Montreal, would we be able to apply to study in English based on those 3 months of English education? Life has been so crazy the past few years, i would prefer if...

When you submit application, they wont ask, no, however, its not uncommon to ask for pcc from country of citizenship as an ADR (additional document required) at a later stage, no matter how short you have lived there. SO - if you like to be prepared ahead of time, id say just get one. Else you...

the confusion was about the letter, which lacked instruction. There was no reference as to what they mean by submit request again - which request - whole ccb application, or just direct deposit request, and for that also - there was no reference to the official form (in fact for a while i...

Phew, we were able to update the banking info over the phone, although had a horribly long waiting time. So we wont have to guess the documents needed or what address to send them to.
