Hi, like I said straight forward complete the Alberta process then transfer it. If your process is already started (file number, acknowledgement letter) it is an ongoing process which counts as active and you're treated like completed until it is officially refused. You need to start your PNP...

Hi, I am doing the PEO application in the mo. I started a year ago sending my translated transcripts from the Technical University I was studying (26 years ago :). I am working now 26 years as an engineer, 7 of it in Canada (just can't call myself an engineer here officially and some local PEO...

It pretty much has something to do on how they deal with their history. I think Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia should have learned out of their recent violent history and understand why people left their home countries. Just a guess about your country of origin... In case above is true, you return...

If your country allows dual-citizenship and you did not denounce it willingly WITH YOUR COUNTRY of origin you hold two citizenships right now. Just get a new passport from your country of origin by following their passport application procedure. Taking Canadian citizenship does not denounce...

The first time I hear this... You had not written a test before? Did you miss a test date before, without appropriate excuse? May I ask which province/territory you are in? Any remote area? I think they got to give you a second chance. Everybody has a second chance, now even a third. I would...

... for proof of identity. They didn't want to see mine and my sons. Just surrender the PR card. mike

If you are invited to take the oath, your citizenship has formally approved. The only way to screw it is missing the date and do not have a good excuse... No more passport checks, other then identity prior to the oath. mike

Mine was updated Friday (overnight)... I guess from these reports it'll be updated any time during nightly service runs... mike

Ottawa office: August 13/14 are the next ceremonies. Dates are updated infrequently. Oath invitation can come up-to 3 days before the ceremony. Watch-out, if you took the test in Ottawa your invitation can come at very short notice. One colleague of mine got his 3 days before the ceremony! Mine...

We had test in March (1st week). I took oath mid July and my colleague will have his end of August. Both tested on the same day first week in March! Ottawa office... mike

The miserable part is that there's an immigration process which qualifies immigrants through a FSW program w/o telling the truth about Canadian employers have not yet arrived in the 21st century and still asking for 'Canadian Experience' from fresh immigrants while ignoring the knowledge and...

I will be around here and try to help people... mike

Here's my reply to the Star: I just became Canadian Citizen. I am working for an international company for more than 20 years. We -our family- came here through the company relocation program. I am proud to say I am working in a company which values international experience and diversity and...

If you don't hear back from CIC withing 60 days you need to call. mike

Which interview? The pre-test interview is an individual interview to verify your Canadian Physical Presence. The staff is very friendly and only does their job. If you don't have to hide anything, np. If you have any issue with you physical presence, well... mike

If you got a RQ current time frame ~36 months up-to 48 months unfortunately. But you got a test date 2 months after you submitted RQ reply, if I read your first post correctly. It makes no sense to invite you to the test and then have you wait another 30 months until final decision. This would...

This is simply not true! 6 months max. is the time from test to judge decision. The judge decision could be a) he's satisfied and grants citizenship -> oath at next possible date b) he's not satisfied and either denies it in case it is obvious or sends request for more information (RQ) or...

1 colleague + neighbour are my referees another colleague is my guarantor. There's nothing wrong with that in Canada. You need guarantors for a few more things here. Club membership, firearms safety (PAL), passport. Canadians are used to that. Don't be shy, be proud Canadian! mike P.S. US...

Hold on a sec... You a PR not on sponsorship? At the time you applied, did you list your common law partner on the application form? You'll lose your PR (and the right for citizenship) if you cannot show/proof to CIC that you live in common law partnership or return before you reach out of...
