It's weird. I submitted my passport a few days ago and this is a concern now.zhougt said:Hi guys,
I got the passport request on May 16, and have submitted the passport on May 26. It has been almost a month, but I haven't got my passport back. I am a little bit worried since I have to travel with my passport on July 11.
How should I ask for a speed up? Anyone got any idea? Thanks a lot!
I sent the police certificate (from my home country) in with the application. The police certificate was six months old by the time the third application was submitted, and 7 months expired by the time they began processing it, but they never asked for an updated police certificate. They did however ask for an RCMP report for my partner (but not for me).zedd4x said:Many thanks for the information ! Really appreciate it.
Did you guys also submit your police certificate along with your application or you waited to be requested for it ? My worry is that it might expire before the decision is made and I would have to send it again anyways...
The first application: the first year cap had been reached.zedd4x said:And wow, second and third application. It would be nice if all this information about what mistakes happened during people's initial attempts was available in a google doc format or something. Would be extremely helpful to us new applicants. I would be happy to add my information to it too.
I have read several sources that say these changes are 'proposed', but none that say they are finalized or in effect or give a date when they will be in effect. Do you have a source showing that the changes are currently in effect?TyrusX said:Guys, I hope you are all aware that with the new regulations, it will take 4 more years after you acquire PR to get your citizenship. They will not count the time as a temporary resident anymore. This will set us back 2 more years.
You can track how long will it take generally by the link in my signature. I got my passport back on day 12.hamed_hamed_hamed said:It's weird. I submitted my passport a few days ago and this is a concern now.
Maybe it's just a long line of passports ready for visa?
Thanks for the link. I know it is 7-10 days in Avg. Though I am more concerning why his case has taken so long.mike5182 said:You can track how long will it take generally by the link in my signature. I got my passport back on day 12.
Hi,hooman2012 said:I received RPRF request this morning.
I could answer a part of your question. RPRF stands for "Right of Permanent Residence Fee"sa-ha said:Hi,

Would you please tell me what RPRF stands for? Also I received DOC request today (CV/ list of publications, etc). I wonder if you could tell me if these letters should have any special trick or they are just like a general academic CV.
Thank you![]()
The Bill has received Royal Assent, and become a law, but it is not clear yet when the new rules will start taking effects. It seems to me that several parts of the bills will come into effect at different dates, with the new residency requirements coming into force approximately a year from the time of Royal Assent (so most likely, June 2015).climate_modeller said:I have read several sources that say these changes are 'proposed', but none that say they are finalized or in effect or give a date when they will be in effect.

Quick facts
- Requiring 14-64 year-olds to meet knowledge and language requirements provides an incentive for more individuals to acquire official language proficiency and civics knowledge, which helps them successfully integrate into Canadian society.
- Citizenship applicants will need to be physically present in Canada for a total of four out of their last six years. In addition, they will need to be physically present in Canada for 183 days per year for at least four of those six years. These provisions will come into force in approximately a year.
- Under the new streamlined decision-making model, citizenship officers will decide all aspects of a citizenship application. Under the old model, obtaining citizenship was a three-step process that involved duplication of work.

That would mean the proposed changes are applicable to those who become permanent residents on or after June, 2015?meyakanor said:The Bill has received Royal Assent, and become a law, but it is not clear yet when the new rules will start taking effects.

The proposed changes will apply to those who would apply for citizenship at or after the effective date (not yet announced, but it should be sometimes in June 2015), and they will apply to all PR's, regardless when they landed. The current residency requirements would still apply until all the way to next year, after which the proposed changes in Bill C-24 would become effective.chakri264 said:That would mean the proposed changes are applicable to those who become permanent residents on or after June, 2015?
