I would like to follow up for whoever may need this information. I confirm that it is possible to be granted the opportunity to do the ceremony from abroad. In my case it was approved in November 2022, due to my "extenuating circumstances". I had sent plenty of proves supporting my statement...

Thank you everyone for your wise advice. I will join the ceremony from abroad. I can't land on canadian soil and then leave because I will be asked to cut my PR card during the ceremony so I would have to stay at least 3 or 4 months before getting my canadian passport or I will not be able to...

Hi, I received the invitation to attend my oath ceremony and emailed immigration asking if I can attend the online ceremony from abroad. They sent me an email after 5 days saying: Thank you for your email. Please read the below information. It will take up to six month for your request to be...

Hi all, I just received an invitation to attend the online oath ceremony in a few weeks but I am away from BC until June 2023. I have a good excuse for being away because it is related to my young daughter's health. I am sending an email asking to postpone but I was wondering: Has anyone ever...

Thank you so much!

Can anyone help me with any of this? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Please help me clear these doubts: 1) Documents: In the citizenship online application do I need to upload my Permanent Resident Card? I would expect to have to do it but I don't see it anywhere. I uploaded my passport and driver's licence as proof of ID. 2) Picture: When uploading my picture...

Thank you so much for your exhaustive and clear response! :)

I'm planning to send my citizenship application in the fall 2021 and then go to Europe until June 2022 (or until they call me for the citizenship test). I have a few questions that I haven't been able to figure out by myself and I would greatly appreciate your feedback. Is there any chance I'll...

I'm self-employed Permanent resident, living in BC. I am building my website as a mental health consultant and I'm having trouble finding the requirements to start an online business. Do I need to register my business? Where can I purchase private liability insurance? What are the regulations...

I would like to follow up for other people who may be interested in this type of situation. - I called MSP and as long as we are factual residents of Canada we can be away for up to 24 months while still be on coverage in BC. We need to let them know the exact dates of our trip before leaving. -...

If I suspend MSP is it going to take 3 months to restart it once I'm back? Thanks.

I think every day counts as half a day if accompanied by sponsor. And when I enquired about possibly applying for citizenship I was advised not to count on those days because they usually send applications back without even opening them. It's better to have enough days in the country before...

I disagree, as you can see in my reply to that post.

I have retained my Italian citizenship, this entitles my daughter to apply for italian citizenship. She would qualify for health care if I were resident in Italy and paying Italian taxes, which I'm not.

FYI, the requirements of the PR are more complicated than that. I'm also required to live together with my sponsor for 2 years, so your quick reply may result incomplete. Also, I know my daughter can leave but as you can see from the other responses things are way more complicated than you lay...

My husband is Canadian and is sponsoring my PR in BC. I got my PR in March 2017 and I have been in Canada the whole time except for 110 days. We have a two year old daughter who was born in BC and has a canadian passport. We are considering going to Italy for an extended period of time...

Thank you everyone for your time and patience. I got a bit lost trying to understand the acronyms and details of the rules you mention but I really appreciate your efforts in helping me. So, I never overstayed the 6 months and my partner is my PR sponsor so my understanding is a have a chance...

How can I prove I was in the country before I got my PR? Being European I didn't need a visitor visa, I don't have any document to prove my physical presence. Will that be a problem? Thanks.

The physical presence calculator says I have enough days to apply for citizenship today but the requirements are that I have been a PR for 3 years, which I haven't. Please help. I became a PR on March 10, 2017 but have physically present in Canada since 2014. The physical presence calculator...
