    20/20 in Citizenship Test - Any new thing learnt?

    I have lived In Canada for 5 years and by reading Discover Canada I learnt a lot about Canadian history and its roots. I can see the differences between US and Canada and why they can be very different regardless of having the same roots (melting pot vs multiculturalism). I learnt about...

    Congrats... You probably want to sign it in front of the officer when he is verifying your identity before the oath ceremony.

    Taking a child to citizenship oath

    There is a video for the ceremony http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/cit-ceremony.asp and it advises to have someone taking care of your children because you can't leave the room in case they are overwhelmed with the crowd. This is pretty normal and I do understand that. I have a 11 month...

    US visa

    Probably you are right.... In my case I had an H1B visa expired in 2008 but I did have an unexpired B1/B2 USA visa . BTW I took my citizenship oath today so yes I am a citizen already ;) Best luck to all.

    US vs. Canada.... Green Card vs. Citizenship, a weird request from judge!

    I think that's what the immigration official is asking for... he does not want you to play with the (US, Canadian) system.....

    US vs. Canada.... Green Card vs. Citizenship, a weird request from judge!

    You should probably call CIC and ask them if that document is enough so you do not have to wait months to know that

    Love Canada?

    I never got the green card. Before I left US I only had my Labor approved (Yes the very first step) and the reason it took so long was because I moved to a different job and my whole GC process started again. So tired of living under an H1B and living the turmoil of a financial crisis in US I...

    Love Canada?

    We love it! I worked in US for 9 years. I applied for green card and waited for a very long time (probably more than 6 years) so we applied for Canadian PR and got it in just 1 year :). We felt immensely happy and blessed when we received the PR card. Finding a job outside of Canada was...

    Vancouver: My incredibly fast application

    Congratulations if this post is true... but I highly doubt this is a real case. Usually it takes 1-2 months to get the acknowledge letter from CIC and more than 3 months to move to local office.
