I recently just got the date for my oath ceremony. I was reading the instructions and it does mention family can be present. But what about close friends? And if so, do they sit off to the side out of camera view?

I got an email today regarding my upcoming interview. I was asked to email a consent form: Once you have completed your form, please save it and return to IRCC through emailing IRCC.DNEdmontonCitizenship-CitoyenneteEdmontonRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca later in the email, it says "Request Letter" -...

I was wondering if anyone knows how the verification works doing the oath ceremony and ID. When I took my test, my 720p HD webcam could barely focus on my ID. I had to go out and buy a new 1080p HD webcam, and even that was blurry, and took me a day with all different lighting conditions...

When I applied for citizenship, I uploaded my current passport and the background section of the tracker was completed a couple months ago. However....I was recently on vacation and thought I had lost my passport, which I had to replace with an emergency US passport (valid for 1 year). I now...

All of my friends who applied with paper applications said at some point they had to mail in their passports. I already submitted scans of my passport for the online application, but would they still require me to mail it in at some point? I'm trying to plan a vacation and it would suck if I...

I received an email with a pdf saying "This is to acknowledge receipt of your application for Canadian Citizenship. We will review your application and supporting documents and will contact you if additional information is required" I don't think this is the actual AOR, I only submitted the...

I got a new passport a few years ago, but I don't have the old one anymore. The application is asking for the travel documents for the entire 5 years period, and I don't have the document for those remaining 2 years. I do have a black and white photocopy of it, but that's it. There is an option...

I took the CELPIP years ago when I got PR. I was looking at the language section in the citizenship application and there is an option that reads "degree, diploma, certificate or official transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program showing you studied in English or French...

I was told by someone that now that I have PR, I need to apply for a new SIN. Is that true? If that is in fact the case then I probably have to get a new services card as well. What information is included on the PR Card?

I just today got my COPR. I have been on a work permit for almost 6.5 years. It took me a long time to get PR because I was dealing with some various issues, but now it's finally done and approved, so now it's time to look a head to Citizenship. Although I just started PR, I have spent so much...

My AOR was June 17th 2020. My biometrics were collected and completed on Oct 23rd My application progress is 100% complete. The estimated completion date was Dec 17th, and now I'm passed that. Nothing left to do but wait. Safe to assume a 3 month delay?

I just about have everything in order, ready to submit my application. However...I was wondering if there are immigration lawyers, particularly those in the Vancouver, BC area, that have reduced rates for checking over an already-prepared application. Since I am doing all the leg work, I simply...

In the section to upload documents for employment, there are 3 things that look the same. Offer of Employment Letter of Employment Proof of Employment (includes paystub info, rate etc...) All of these are kind of the same. What are the main differences, especially between offer and letter?

I am trying to apply for PR via Experience class. Does that fall under the category for Express Entry? I am filling out the first part of the application for Express Entry and there is no indication if it is Experience class or Federal Skilled Worker. How do I know which one I am doing? Will...

I am at the stage where I am collecting documents for experience class. I know I need police clearances, but I don't know how many I need. I have lived in 2 states, Arizona and California. I think I need the following: Police clearance - California Police clearance - Arizona (they don't give...

I have taken the IELTS twice because I wanted a higher score. I recently found out that I did not need to do that. I was trying to get a score that didn't apply to my NOC bracket. When I submit my Test Report Form, can I choose which of them I want or can immigration only accept whichever one...

I am filling out the application for Express Entry, and I am being asked about proof of funds, "How much money will I bring into Canada". I spoke to a lawyer and he said this does not apply to me because I am already a resident on a work permit for the past 5 years, employed full time. However...

I am a U.S. citizen coming up on my 5 year anniversary of living in Canada and I have decided to just apply for PR instead of renewing my work permit every 2 years. I have heard that when applying for PR, proof of funds are needed. I read that a single individual needs around $12-13 K. I don't...

I am coming up on my 5 year anniversary of living in Canada. I thought I was going to move but it looks like I am staying here, so I may as well get PR. However I technically meet physical presence in Canada requirements for citizenship. On the eligibility calculator the site asked if I had a PR...

I've been in Canada for a little over 4 years now, and have been renewing my permit every 2 years. I'd like to get my recreational or private pilot license. My work permit says I cannot take any professional, vocational or educational classes. To what extent does that apply? I am here in BC...
