@legalfalcon any opinions on this?

Anyone? :D

Hello everyone! So I have to change my legal name, and thus, I'm planning to change my PR card to reflect my new name. I'm a BC resident. However, the PR card renewal form (imm5444e) asks for my port of entry and because I became a PR during the pandemic, I had a virtual landing and my port of...

Hello there, do you have to change your PR card name before applying for citizenship? Or is the name change certificate sufficient?

That makes sense. Sorry, should have clarified sooner! I really appreciate your responses, thank you so much for helping me out and hope you have a wonderful week!

It's because I'm doing a legal name change so thus changing the name on my card~

That makes sense, So I should just date my job and address history from the date I became PR and not the actual pre-PR dates right? I became a PR only months ago.

Ah that makes sense! Thank you so much! One more question, if let's say, my 5 year period starts June 16 but my actual job started in May 2016 and in the renewal application I put in May 2016 (instead of date I became PR), do you think it would cause a big complication?

Omg thank you so much for this response! That what I will do. If you applied for citizenship, did having the start date be the date you got your PR, as opposed to the actual start date (if it was earlier than becoming PR) affect your application in any way?

Ah yes, thank you, I know that, so I'm listing that experience since I became a PR just this year. But do I put my start date for the job I have as the date I became PR or the the actual starting date (which is before becoming PR). The instruction guide doesn't explain that.

Heya!

For the work history, as an example, let's say I started a job in April 2020 but I become a PR on May 8th 2020 and I still work at the job until today, for the work history section do I write the start date as the actual start date (April 2020) or the date in which I became a PR (May 8th 2020)?

Hello folks! So on my passport from my birth country, only the state is mentioned as the place of birth and not the city/town. When I applied for PR, I was advised from the IRCC website to enter in my place of birth, as per my passport, even though the application form asked for city/town. I...

That makes sense but I did write them a letter in my PR app explaining that the reason why I put in my state as opposed to my town/city in the place of birth section was because the instructions online stated to write that section as per my passport, which only has my state of birth as the place...

Hello there! During my PR application, I had read online on the IRCC website that I'm supposed to write down my place of birth as per what is shown on my passport. The problem is my passport only contains the state that I was born in (within my country) and not the city/town. I decided to write...

Ok sounds good! I was just nervous since I won't be entering my city name since they specifically asked for city/town, but i guess the passport place of birth (even though it's just my birth state) overrides all that. Do you think it's okay for me to write a letter clarifying that I entered my...

Ok that's great hahahaha. So since my passport only had my state and not the city name, it was totally fine for me to write down just the state name in the section asking for town/city of birth, thus no need for me to correct this with IRCC

Ah that makes sense, thank you so much for this, it's definitely making me feel a lot calmer hahaha. Did you also write down your state of birth as opposed to town/city in your PR/Citizenship applications, as per your passport?

Thank you so much for this speedy response! That's great to hear. So it's totally ok to write down the place of birth as per passport on citizenship application even though the passport indicates the state (not city/town) and the application form specifically asks for city/town? Just want to...
