In 1960 I was born in Labrador to two American citizens.

I have a Canadian birth certificate.

Can i become a dual American/Canadian citizen.

Can I obtain a Canadian passport and if so, how do I go about getting it?

Hi,

I have a similar situation but Im under CEC category from with in Canada. I have got passport requests(whole family 3 members) and i have just sent them. But im leaving Canada on 30March 2018 to India as per my Indian employer( I want to come back later to Canada,dont want to resign the Indian Job immediately)

If we get passports back within 2-3 weeks and do the landing here at Canada border and go to to India on 30 March without PR card, (mostly im hoping it would)
Query 1:
Can i request CIC to change my mailing address to other address in canada( my Friend's) and So that my friend can send them to India and we can reenter whenever we want to . Is it possible , Can i request to CIC to change mailing address referring to UCI numbers associated to PR application?

Query 2:
Can I request CIC to send to my Indian address explaining that im going back to India due to family matters before taking PR card. Will they accept my request ?

(Reason is , it would be expensive travel just land again with the family back to get the PR card)
Thanks

Thank you , I live on my own here and have any other family so I will have a look the details

Hello everyone,

My situation is this: I had my PR approved while being on a work permit (which ends June 30th). I need to fly outside Canada but the people at the IRCC made the mistake of using the sequence number of my passport instead of the ID number. It is actually the second time they make the same mistake. I have to send them the PR card and a bunch of documents so they will process it *urgently* but i don't know how long that will take them. I still have a tourist visa and a work visa stamped in my passport, so the questions are:

- Are my work permit (visa) and tourist visa still valid? (were not voided at the airport when I ¨landed¨ as it happened with the immigration one)
- If so, could i come back to Canada using either of those documents while i wait for them to correct the information on my PR card?

I cannot apply for a travel document as the trip is going to be short and i won't be able to apply for it where i'm going.

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Dear Moderator,

My wife and 3 kids landed in Canada back on February 12th, 2013 and stayed till November 20th, 2013(Staying time=282 days). My wife had to go back due to some unavoidable family situation and she had to go back to provide needed care to her father and my parents as they have gone through some surgeries and no one was there to help them. She stayed there from November 21st, 2013 to December 16th, 2016. As they got better and had the support so my wife returned to Canada and landed back with 3 kids on December 16th, 2016.
My wife PR card is expiring on March 11th, 2018. Her staying period since December 16th, 2016 till March 11th, 2018 will be
December 16th, 2016 to March 11th, 2018= 451 days
so her total time period
February 12th, 2013 to March 11th, 2018=282+451=733 days
Her actual 5 years period will be February 12th, 2013 to February 12th, 2018 and her staying period for the mentioned 5 years will be 282+424=706 days and it is 24 days less then 730 days.
She is here now permanently and living with me and kids. I already applied for citizenship for myself and for my kids and the application of me and my kids are accepted by CIC Canada.
I would like to ask that when I should apply for the renewal of her PR card after 730 days? or now? If CIC will be looking at a period of 5 years after her landing then she is 24 days short of 730 days residency obligation. will they consider and approve her application for the renewal?

Hello,
I will travel soon in Canada through the FSW process EE and I am wondering if there is a problem if I mention a Québec adress related to my friend for receiving the PR card or it should be necessary an adress outside quebec?
Thank you

Hi,

Even I have received my COPR and have some doubts related to that

I come under the Federal skilled worker program.

My COPR says the destination city as Toronto. I live in Utah and its near to Vancouver and I already booked a flight to Vancouver.
But since COPR says the destination as Toronto I am in a confusion.

Is it OK to do all the formalities in Vancouver for getting PR card.
Or do I have to cancel my flight?

Please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi,

I want to ask about my permanent resident card.

I already received my PR card last January 2018 and I wish to travel outside canada for about 9 months in a row. Do I still need to notify the immigration about it? Do I need to file a permit in order to stay for more than 6 months outside Canada?

Because before the rule is if you're a permanent resident in Canada you only have 6 months most to stay outside Canada.

So, I'm also asking if this law is still applicable today?

I will be highly obliged for answering the questions dealing with the following situation:

My friend became Permanent Resident on November 28, 2010.
He spent 1008 days in the period: November 28, 2010 to October 24, 2015 and left Canada on October 24, 2015 after getting his PR card renewed with the expiry date December 26, 2020.
He is currently living in India and plans to go back to Canada on January 1, 2020.


His questions are:
1. Will he be permitted to enter Canada on January 1, 2020 ?
2. Will he be permitted to renew again (i.e. for the second time) his PR Card?
3. If he is permitted to renew his PR Card, when can he apply for the renewal?
Thanks.

Hi,
My Husband me and our 2 year old got CoPR through express entry( without provincial nomination) and our destination is Ontario. I have landed and is staying at Toronto, Ontario. My Husband and son are travelling on April.

But they are landing in Montreal, Quebec and then taking a connection flight to Toronto after 3 hours.

1. Will they be doing their landing formalities at Montreal or Toronto?

2. Will that be a problem because they do not have CSQ(Quebec certificate of selection - which is mandatory for settling in quebec) ? After all they are not intending to stay in Quebec and their final destination is Toronto.

3. What documents can be provided as proof that they are not going to stay in Quebec?

Thanks
Serene

Hi There,

I am currently a Permanent Resident and I will be eligible to apply for Citizenship later this year.


However, I may potentially be involved in a Civil Dispute with a private company.

Would this affect my Citizenship Eligibility?




Thanks in advance.

Hi Everyone!

I have recently landed in Toronto last week on my Permanent Residence visa.

At the POE there was an issue with my COPR since my Marital status hasn't been updated from single to married.

I had applied for my PR through an agency in India and according to them they have sent the mail to cic informing the marital status long back but they did not send the details(Forms,medical and pcc) of my husband to CIC and told me that it's not required.

I Have all the mails with me in which i have given my consultancy the documents of my marriage but unfortunately they dint forward it to cic and it was my fault I blindly believed them.
Now when i landed here, i was stopped at the POE and my passport and Copr was taken by them.

They told me to come back after 2 weeks for further examination.

I am very scared as i dont know what is going to happen on that day.

Will they revoke my PR?

Does anyone have any information on this or went through a similar situation?

Thank you.

Hi
I am a Canadian PR and my daughter is a citizen of Canada.
My husband is in our home country as he is working there amd has no plans of immigrating here.
We are planning to stay in our home country.
Can my daughter loose her citizenship if she stays in our home country for a long period and does not visit Canada??
Thank

Is their any requirement to update the Canadian Immigration Dept. after renewal of a PR holder's passport with their national passport agency (in this case UK)?

How long do you have from PR confirmation, until entering Canada and have it activated?
