Thanks, I hope yours comes through soon as well. I did not get an ecas update (still at line 4) but my neighbors did (they didn't get their letters yet though). I think either letter or online update should be enough to get you into the ceremony, but let's just say I'm very old school and like...

Congrats Siar, just got the oath letter here too, and my 2 neighbors got theirs yesterday online. I think everyone's back from the Bahamas :) Ceremonies be movin' like crazy this and next month...

Would you consider selling me 1 of them ? :rolleyes:

One difference I find amusing is the calculation of physical presence. For example, an absence of 3 days on a PR renewal application may count as 4 days on a citizenship application. Of course, the online calculator will do the math for you in both cases, but why they are not as strict with PR...

This is a bit off-topic, but your post made me read me further on technicalities and amendments to the Constitution. I just found out that Quebec never formally accepted the Constitution Act ! They even formed their own Charter of Rights and Freedoms (QCRF). The more you live, the more you learn :)

It is easy to argue that the answer is the CMA (and I think it should be, based on the phrasing of the question) but I suggest you stick to the Discover Canada booklet which says it's the CCRF.

The usuals would be: - Driver's License - Health Card - Home rent agreements + receipts - Bank or Credit Card statements - Utility Bills (Cable TV, Internet, Phone) And a bunch of good folders you could put together would comprise: - Public Library card + book receipts - Public Transit...

That was my whole point.

Vicky, I understand that you've used your Nexus many times, but there is no such thing as "linking your I-94" to anything. An I-94 is now only issued if you cross by land. You make it sound like one is committing a crime by using the term "getting caught". People don't cross the border on their...

You need to be a little more subtle in your reponses. Retaliation in the form of filibustering might make you believe you are 1 step closer to being an attorney at law, but your excessive commas, bolds and parentheses take away all the fun. "Probably, my sense, with the caveat,..." you keep...

I'm not sure this would be a wise move. Here's my take on this: A few weeks before the interview I was reading quite a lot about being proactive with the police certificates. The US certificate requires that you do a fingerprint on a card and attach it to the request/payment form. That card has...

Could you please keep me posted on what happens ? Some friends who went through this situation last year told me this happens when there are no ceremony slots to place us in. If you think about it, it's a reasonable justification because the 5th line has to include an oath date. Maybe this is...

What trouble ? I can't even remember the number of times I crossed with an expired I-94/stamp. Yes, if you're crossing by land you'll have to park and drop in for a new one, but it's still a great alternative to the regular lanes especially if they're jammed up on a busy weekend.

Hi everyone, I applied back in Nov 2016 and passed the test this Feb. During the interview the IO asked me to get a police certificate from the US (although my trips totaled no more than 33 days in the last four years). She marked a check requesting this certificate on a CIT0520 and handed it...
