Hello,

I am a permanent resident accompanying my Canadian wife who is working for the Untied Nations (UN) outside Canada. Can I consider the UN as a public sector entity (since Canada is a member in this inter-governmental organization) and accordingly count my travel days towards my citizenship application?

Best regards,

MEF

My parents' PR card expires on Oct. 4, 2021, they are booking return flight on Sept. 24, 2021, will they have problem enter Canada ? Do they need to apply travel document ?

Thank you,

Hi there,

Thank you for sharing your question and situation with us.

According to IRCC, online citizenship tests must also be taken inside Canada. You can find more information about this in the IRCC article, "About the online citizenship test."

We hope this information is helpful. Please feel free to follow up with us if you have any further questions.

Hello,


I would like to know the process of landing from a different flight than my common law partner. I am the primary applicant. Can we arrive the same day and can we go through immigration together or do I have to go first then him? Also, if I bring in the proof of finds in cash, how will my partner show proof of funds during his landing?

I have already looked at this from IRCC (although it is still unclear):

Hello,
I have become a permanent resident of Canada recently. However I will need to leave Canada for a few years to join my new job outside of the country. I saw online that I will need to notify the IRCC about my leaving the country. Can anyone please tell me how should I notify them? Also where can I find the details of this procedure?

Thank you.

Hi,

I got PR in 2018 and was able to live one year in Canada.
Due to the pandemic, I went to birth country to live with family.

I am not sure if I can go back right now but do not want to lose my PR status.

How can I get my days counted being outside Canada?

My daughter is a Citizen and my wife has PR.


Can I have income in Canada, pay taxes, and get my PR days counted?

Good morning. I left Canada in an emergency as my mum was sick a day after I landed in the UK she passed away. Now here's the problem my PR card expired in January this year. I had no plans on leaving Canada and had just 2 months ago started the process of renewing my PR card witch hasnt turned up yet. So I'm stuck in the UK and a PRTD can take up to 8 weeks. I have heard of people being able to fly with expired PR cards. Could I be able to fly? Has anyone ever had to deal with this? I'm trying to contact Marco the immigration MP also to try help. Any advice would be great. My whole life is in Canada and not here anymore

Hi, my husband’s mother is a dual citizen of Canada the France. Can my husband become a citizen of Canada as an adult because his mother is a citizen? Do we need her information? Does it matter if she was born in Canada? Can my kids and/or I also become Canadian citizens?

Hello,

We applied for my husbands sponsorship from US and all the addresses provided in the application are for Ontario as majority of our relatives live here. We just received his passport request and so will be asked to land soon. However, looking our financial situation and job opportunities we would like to land in Alberta now instead of Ontario. Questions that we are wondering are:

1. Since we mentioned in our application initial interest in landing in Ontario, do we HAVE to land in Ontario?
2. If we choose to land in Alberta, do we have to inform the immigration services in advance or we can still land in any province since we both will be landing together or I will already be in Albert when he lands in Canada.
3. If we do have to inform the immigration services can send a letter along with our passport when we send it for the PR stamp.


Any help and guidance in this situation will be helpful.


Thank You

HI,

My daughter's application ( minor child) for PR renewal was returned by IRCC few days back. I sent original application in June and was received by IRCC on 10 June 2021. The application form was signed on 30 May 2021.
The letter from IRCC indicates that your application is not complete and therefore is being fully returned to you for following reasons. Their letter is dated 1 Oct 2021, which I received few days back in 2nd week of Nov 2021. The reasons are -
1) Your photos do not meet the specifications
2) Application dated more than 90 days before being received by IRCC will require that you update your absences, re-sing and re-date the application, otherwise application will be returned as incomplete.

I need to provide new photos as per first item.

I don't understand the second item. My application was received by IRCC in time and is not stale dated or post dated. Their processing delay has dragged this from June to Nov 2021 and now they need updated application. I am confused with this. Should I fill out the form (IMM 5444) entirely and update section C item 19 (Address history), item 20 (work history) and item 21 (Travel history) with current dates and sign and send the form with documents, OR
I only update the section C - item 21 ( Travel history period to be assessed i.e xx Nov 2016 to xx Nov 2021) of the IMM 5444 and change the date on signature page (section G item 25) and send it back.

Thank you for your time and help !

Hi,

I am in the process of filling out my citizenship application and wanted clarity on how many citizenships do Canada accept. I currently have a South African Passport via birth and British Passport that was handed down through my parents.

Will i have to renounce one passport or can i still proceed with the application since Canada accept 2 or More Citizenships?

Thanks for your input and advice.

Thank you for your reply.

I am a Canadian citizen and was born in Canada, so our children will be Canadian citizens at birth. However, before they can get passports to go to Canada they need to receive proof of Canadian citizenship. This takes 15 months according to the the CIC website, and I was concerned this may not be completed before my wife's COPR validity is up. In that situation, as you do not recommend landing outside of the COPR's 12 month window, there is a chance my wife would have to enter Canada alone while I wait for our children's proof of citizenship and passports.

I will contact an immigration lawyer about applying for urgent processing time for proof of citizenship to match my wife's COPR validity when she gives birth. I will also be sure to inform the CIC of the change to my wife's PR application when she gives birth.


Thank you.

Dear all,

Can anyone advise on how much time it will take for the immigration procedure at the initial place of arrival in Canada? My spouse, who has the COPR, first port of arrival in Canada will most likely be Toronto before taking another flight to Montreal. How much time should be planned for the immigration procedure in order not to miss the connecting flight?


Thank you,
