Thanks .
Do they ask the reason of every trip and comment on it or they do not bother about the whatever reason you are going out side Canada?

Regards
No they didn't ask the reason for small trips only for the long trips(couple of month)

I have some stamps from Dubai which mention the dates and "entry", "exit" besides other stuff I can't read. I presume that should be enough for verification purposes and does not require further translations (e.g. of the other writing in the stamps)?

Some stamps are barely readable (Canada/USA), not much I can do about that I guess.
About Dubai stamps you are right, I had the translation for Dubai ones also but officer said as long as entry exit is mentioned no need for translation.

You are right, nothing can be done for not readable stamps.

Hi All,
I did the test on 13th at Calgary. My experience is as below:

Passport check was very through by the official, every single date on residence calculator was check marked. I have some road trips to US which I have mention in calculator but no stamp in passport, she was fine with that.She asked about the job and my commute to work. My wife was also with me and we both called together.
My wife is not working right now so she asked WHY so we explained that we have small kid to take care.

Some fellow missed a whole trip (around 7 days) in calculator so he was given some forms.

PS: Please take a baby sitter with you if you are going with small kids.

About oath timeline they mentioned, it will be 1-3 months.

Hi

I had test yesterday Jan 14th. Passed but got RQ. since i was missing one passport, which i found when i searched again last night. :(

Question: How to fill RQ Form

in the RQ form, it says "address(city/country)" for questions 7 and 9
does this mean I only need to enter the city and country, not the street number and apartment numbers?

please advsie.

Thanks

I am not sure about turkish but I know that Immigrant Services Calgary offers translation services for many languages .They are not ATIA certified however their translations are accepted by CIC .They would charge much less as compared to any other translator . I am also going to contact them soon for my arabic stamps.

Good luck

Enjoy your travels....your concern until oath date is to avoid being inadmissible...don't breach the RO and don't break the law.
