Thanks !

Hi all, I applied for citizenship on April 30th and I still haven't got an email confirming receipt of my application/acknowledgement of processing my application... What is the typical timeframe for confirming application processing start times ? Thanks in advance

Hi everyone, Thank you all so much for your help, I meet with a lawyer soon. Let's say the immigration does not accept my documentation and they reject my appeal and issue a removal order. Will this prevent me from finding work overseas or prevent me from travelling as my passport has this...

Thank you everyone for your replies. There is condition 51 listed on my PR application. I believe the whole idea of getting a family class PR means that the primary factor in granting that PR was to be with my common law partner/spouse. Since that is no longer a reason, I don't see why a PR...

Hi Everyone, I received a confirmation of permanent residence form IMM5688 which was sent to my overseas address in Australia where I am living now. Originally, I had applied for common law from British Columbia where I lived with my common law partner. However, due to my working holiday...

Hi All, Question: My sponsor (Canadian citizen) resides in Canada along with myself (New Zealand Citizen). I will be leaving to Australia to stay there for about 12 months until my permanent residency has been granted in 12 months time approximately. If we get asked for an interview, will...
