Hi



Hi,
I have just applied Canadian citizenship for my son (1 year old). I have sent his US passport along with the Canadian citizenship application. However, I need his US passport back so that he can travel out of US next week.
Does anyone know the local phone number of the address:
Case Processing Centre - Sydney
P.O.Box 10000
Sydney, NS, B1P 7C1
Thanks for helping

Dao Do


1. There is no published phone no. for Sydney.
2. You can try the call centre 1-888-242-2100 if you are in Canada. or you can try contacting the Call centre +1 613 944 4000 (for an agent: options 1,2,1,2,1 ... then 0 to skip the message) from outside Canada.

Travelling to Cuba

Hi



I am an 18 year old PR card holder. I landed in canada the august of 2013, and for my summer vacation, I wanted to go to Cuba.

However I've heard from others that travelling to Cuba can cause some problems for me in the future (when applying for passport etc.).

I was wondering if there is any validity to this statement or not. Thank you


No problem for Canada, if you are a US citizen, then it is a different kettle of fish.

Spousal Sponsorship

Hi



I am a former PR.

I was refused PRTD because of residency obligation.

MY husband is Canadian citizen, living and working in Canada.

He is sponsoring me. We have applied already.

Can the PRTD refusal because of residency obligation affect my case?


1. It shouldn't but your time outside Canada, separated from your spouse may be an issue.

Can my friend sponsor fiance on OW or ODSP?

PMM

Hi



I need some clarification if possible. I'm a sponsor who has just been approved and the application is now on the way to the embassy. I have a severe form of heart disease and was an ODSP recipient for almost a decade. I went off ODSP to take advantage of an educational opportunity, where I was forced to give up my pension. I recently re-applied and was denied. I'm a mother of a two year old and desperately need an income. I have been surviving in the Child tax benefit and was expecting ODSP to kick in. So now I am forced to seek out OW but I'm not sure what will happen to my application. According to the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations I should be able to apply once my husband is here, while he's looking for work. Here is the quote. Does anyone know anything about this?
133. (1) A sponsorship application shall only be approved by an officer if, on the day on which the application was filed and from that day until the day a decision is made with respect to the application, there is evidence that the sponsor
(k) is not in receipt of social assistance for a reason other than disability.
http://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/sor-2002-227/page-57.html#docCont
It looks to me like I can apply for OW once my application is approved on the embassy end. As in there is no regulation stopping me from seeking OW after that time.
Feedback appreciated.


1. Actually until your spouse has actually "landed", if you go on OW, then CIC can refuse the application.

Hi


Hello,

I am yesterday refugee claimant and today Canada PR holder “permanent resident”.
I have entered Canada 11 months ago through the borders USA/Canada.

My application for refugee claimant was accepted by the judge and two days ago "last Friday" I have received my PR. I need to apply for my goods to follow.
I have prepared goods to follow Form B4A and wanted to submit while I am receiving my PR but the officer informed me I have to submit this form to another office!! I don't know where to submit the goods to follow form!

I appreciate so much your kind reply.
Thank you


1. You can submit it to Customs when your goods arrive.
2. Or you can submit it to CBSA Customs at an inland office in the city where you live.

HI

Just an aside, the OP should contact CIC by sending a withdrawal of sponsorship to both Mississauga and Sao Paola (if that the is the processing office)email
Case specific: https://dmp-portal.cic.gc.ca/enquiries-renseignements/case-cas-eng.aspx?mission=sao paulo

Note this has to be done before his spouse "lands"

Language Ability- Citizenship Application Question

Hi


Hi,

I was just wondering if I have to send documents to prove my English skill even though I'm from the country where English is an official language.


Yes.

Proof of completion of secondary or post-secondary education in French or English includes:

A diploma or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary school indicating the successful completion of a program, in Canada or abroad. or
A diploma or certificate from a secondary or post-secondary school indicating successful graduation, in Canada or abroad.

Note:You must have successfully finished a secondary or post-secondary program in English or French. A single course done in English or French does not meet the requirement. The diploma, certificate or transcript should be in English or French. The document must clearly show that the program was completed with English or French as the language of instruction. If the original document is not in English or French then you must also include a letter in English or French from the institution indicating that the language of instruction was in English or French along with a translation of the original document.

Hi,

http://www.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?Language=E&Mode=1&DocId=6684615&File=4&Col=1

At the above link it reads
"An Act to amend the Citizenship Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts
ASSENTED TO
19th JUNE, 2014
BILL C-24"

Does this mean the Act is enacted and has come into force?

No, only a couple of sections dealing with "lost citizens" have been enacted.
