citizenship application

[Efortune]

Hello all,
I will apply to Canadian citizenship and I am preparing my documents. As I read from the forums, I should have language exam result and criminal record when I am applying? Or I need to send them later? I am confused about this.

1. No criminal records check.
2. You need your proof of language though.

If you are between 18 and 54, you will have to send proof of your ability to speak and listen in English or French with your citizenship application.

Some examples of this proof can be:

The results of a CIC-approved third-party test; or
Transcripts or a diploma from a secondary or post-secondary education in English or French, in Canada or abroad; or
Evidence of achieving Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB)/Niveau de compétence linguistique canadien (NCLC) level 4 or higher in certain government-funded language training programs.

Please see the full list of documents we will accept as proof of the language requirement for citizenship. You can also consult the Do you have acceptable documents for the citizenship language requirement? flowchart.

PMM, You do not need to submit for criminal record what so ever?

No, CIC will do it's own name check. If they find someone with a similar name, age with a criminal record, then they will request that you get your fingerprints taken for a criminal records check.

Name check? I wonder if you could explain what that is if you know

 

[Suin]

they enter your name into criminal database search - searching if you have a record in there.

I have a recent public intoxication ticket. I hope when they enter my legal name into the criminal database, it will not show up. Or it will?

Hello!

I have some major big problems with my Immigration Case. I would appreciate every help.
I have a relationship with my Common Law Partner since 2011. We have a baby together, she is born end of 2011. She has the right to be a Dual Citizen German and Canadian. After she was born the German GOV do not wanted to register her Canadian Father in her German Birth Certificate. Whatsoever I called the Canadian Embassy in Austria but they told me to visit Canada because CIC is responsible for the girl's case. In September 2012 I got my German Maternity Leave and we could visit my future spouse and Babys father.
Now I am since several month here and CIC is answering me I have to go back to Austria for the Proof of Citizenship and the CIC is not responsible for us. Also the local court can not give him the paternity for our daughter. My visitor visa will expire in May 2014. After a miscarriage we decided that we need us together and also our baby needs her mother and father. It would be awful to be separated again!
MY TRV is the Visior Status and I read on the CIC webpage

Who can apply for an open work permit?

You may be eligible to apply for an open work permit if you are in one of the following situations:

You have a temporary resident permit valid for at least six months.

cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?q=177&t=17

Could I try to get an open work permit and if yes, for how long would it be valid? And even if CIC denies the open work permit application, would i be negative for my future Visa applications? Could "I bring my dependents with me" as long as the Baby is not a Dual Citizen? My Common Law Partner has a Company but a Canadian Immigration Consultant told us he can not help us with our case and it would be to hard to get a LMO and work permit, when Human Resources and CIC reads that he is my potential new employer and Common Law Partner.... Which other possibilities did we have so the Baby and me can stay and join the privilege to stay in Canada (until the Baby gets her Citizenship Certificate)?
BTW we do not want to go through Sponsorship Class Process...

Thanks so much for your help!!!!
