Short trip to USA

[rdbr]

Hi guys,

I made a short trip (3 days) to the States for the New Years and couldn't reach out to IRCC to inform them about it.

I've received the AOR but the application is not in process yet. How should I inform IRCC about this trip? Calling them seems to be pretty inconvenient as I couldn't even succeed reaching out to an agent for over a week. Is there an email address or any other medium to inform them about the trip?

Thanks,

Did you make the trip before or after receiving AOR? Any trips you make after you submit your application won't affect your physical presence in Canada. However, it's advisable to notify IRCC with your travel plans in case they schedule a test or ceremony while you're away.

The trip was made way after receiving the AOR; so no issues about the physical presence. If it's to notify IRCC just for the purpose of scheduling the test/ceremony dates then it should be fine but I still feel like this was needed to be notified. Seems like calling them is the only option at this level. I was hoping to get an email address to see if that's possible.

Thanks for the reply Hanzo.

I think you aren't obligated to inform IRCC. You only need to contact them if you are leaving Canada for more than two weeks in a row.
