What made me wonder is how impolite people are with a poster when they can cloak under the anonymity of the internet. No person other than the original poster can assess his / her situation correctly and no one other than himself / herself can decide what to be prioritized. We're here to try to...

One thought to the OP: You would do well to take a color photocopy of each and every page of your passport; keep an e-copy safe. Just in case you happen to be in Nigeria and you have time you could simply get this changed. Finally, why would you use the adjective - international - to describe a...

@Dejaavu: Here's how it works with India. The moment an Indian citizen acquires foreign citizenship s/he loses his / her Indian citizenship. So using Indian passport is ILLEGAL right from that moment (of becoming a foreign citizen). However, one has to formally apply for renunciation including...

Hiding the passport from the authorities is as good as, by and large, hiding any paper you are not supposed to carry. It's akin to asking how likely am I to be caught if I do this illegal activity. The answer depends on a lot of factors such as, but not limited to, where you're flying through...

The point is simple: A Canadian citizen - born / naturalized / born to Canadian parents outside Canada - will NOT lose Canadian citizenship because s/he is out of Canada, irrespective of the duration of stay outside Canada. It's advisable to keep the Canadian passport travel ready and valid in...

Please do not wait anymore; call CIC at the first opportunity and let them know that you have not received the letter as yet. You would do well to take a print of your online status, if CIC a) lets you know the test center and time. b) lets you take the test without waiting for the letter to...

I replied the way I did because you wrote: "Like Canadian and Mexicans citizens working in US need TN." (which you now corrected.)

I don't think you're quite right. Canadian & Mexican citizens are eligible to apply for TN visa; however, they do not necessarily need TN in order to work in the USA. They still can be employed in other work visas if they qualify for them. Your visa goes with your passport; period. If you're...

Yes!

It's not a problem as long as the information present in both the passports correspond to each other, that's to say, your DOB, Name and such remain the same (well, unless you had a name change). Now, as for your spouse's name, your marriage certificate should suffice. If you don't have one...

May I know what your test center was?

First of, from cic.gc.ca: "If you do not plan to leave Canada, you do not need the card." That infers that a PR does not necessarily have to have a PR card. That is to say as for your PR status you're good, if you otherwise did not jeopardize your PR status. I understand that your case is...

It's for CIC / Government to make that determination; NOT SinghLovCan!

Congrats Randypandy! Did they give a test score? When I took it they didn't; they only announced that we passed the test.

Quite inquisitively, how could a country keep a tab on when a foreigner (or for that matter its citizen) left its soil? The I-94 concept that the US had is not fool proof either. One would have actually left the US but would be treated as 'still in the country' if s/he failed to return the I-94...

@Spectrum: I would recommend *calling* CIC right away and explaining your scenario. If you're going to do that, you would do well to have a definitive timeline in mind by when you'll reply to the RQ. Give them a plausible reason and I hope your case will get through. Good luck and keep us posted.

I'm not sure if this is correct; CIC applies the rules that are in force at the time of processing your application (be it for PR or work permit or citizenship) is my understanding. I'm not an expert in law; so take that with a pinch of salt.

Living 4 out of 6 years does not necessarily mean the residency requirement of 183 days / year gets satisfied implicitly. Here's why: Counting from, say, 2010 Jan 01 till 2016 Jan 1 would mean 6 years (well 6 years + a day?). If one were to be in Canada for all days but from 2013 Jan 1 till 2014...
