Hi, Thanks for your reply. I’ll be visiting the different country for 3 weeks (so I’ll be on a tourist visa valid for 30 days), then I’ll return to my country of nationality (Egypt).

Hi, I was wondering if I can choose my country of nationality's visa application centre (visa office in Cairo, Egypt) as my processing office for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) application instead of the visa application centre that serves the different country that I'll be...

Hi, Does anyone know what the deadline is for submitting one's passport after the "passport request email" is received from IRCC after a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) application is approved? I'm currently in Canada and I applied for renewal of my PR card 2 weeks ago but I need to...

Thank you dpenabill for your detailed and thorough response. I really appreciate your valuable input and will definitely take it into consideration.

Hi, Is it really necessary for avoiding secondary review and consequent delays to have a buffer of one to two months after the 730 days before applying for PR card renewal after entering Canada via land crossing with an expired PR card and living for two years continuously? Some people even say...

Ok, thanks for your advice! You can always check Ontario.ca for the list of acceptable documents. There wasn't any mistake made according to what they listed there. Thanks anyway.

Hi steaky, Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I can't, my family and I already moved everything to Alberta and we decided to settle here.

Hi canuck78 Thanks a lot for your reply. Do you think it has to be a lawyer or would a paralegal be as qualified to help me with this? If it'll be a lawyer, may I ask what specialty do you think would be most qualified in this case? Also, do you have any idea how long a legal process like...

Thanks everyone for your help here. I’m in Ontario and I issued my driver’s licence and health card, thankfully. My SIN is also active and didn’t get dormant because I was filing taxes as a non-resident. Anyway, to clarify what my main issue is, I’m a graduate of medical school abroad and...

Thanks for your reply, steaky. It would be my second PR card. My first PR card expired 12 years ago. I entered Canada by land with my COPR 7 months ago without getting reported, thankfully. I wasn’t in Canada for a long time for various reasons. I understand that the VoS documents are usually...
