Hello, I keep hearing about the new requirements for Citizenship / PR applications. Any idea when these are likely to be announced or commencing from. Thanks in advance. Regards. -Sammy

Hi, After submitting my application for Citizenship, I have plan to travel (out of Canada) during summer vacation for 4 months, May to August. Assuming my application is well prepared and there is no chance of any incomplete information for which CIC would return it back, is there any other...

Thank you all for your response.

Hello, I am preparing my application for citizenship. I have just 30 days over the minimum requirements of 3 years residency in last 4 years, for the citizenship. Is it enough, or shall I wait for another couple of months to have enough buffer number of days. My calculations are absolutely...

Hi, I have an answer to your question - 'How can I be absolutely certain she didn't report me?' You have right to access your information (ATI) available with any govt. agencies (like CIC, Health Canada, etc.). Just obtain your FOSS/GCMS records from CIC utilizing your right (ATI) and you...

Thanks Msafiri and Alurra71, Ok, I will arrange for all documents and take them along. One thing I want to know, am I right in assuming that - the documents (that I submitted them along with my PR renewal application to CIC Sydney office) will be available with them at Toronto office...

Hi, After about 5 months, my PR card is approved (as per online status), but I received a letter to collect it from local office and the letter is asking to bring the following documents (passports, travel documents, translations, id issued by province, proof of residence - credit card...

Hi, My PR renewal application (urgent processing, 750 days residence) is in process from Feb.2014. Called them several times, no proper answer. I just want to know - is there any maximum period for them that they should respond within, giving at least some reason for their holding and...

Msafiri, Can you please elaborate, I do not know what you mean by - 'Until legislation kicks in the default positions of either a 5 year card or 1 year validity'. Regards.

Did you apply for normal processing or urgent processing? How many days of residence you had?

Regarding your CBSA exit report, as you mentioned it as 'EXIT Report', I would like to know if you have any EXIT information recorded in the report, if so, is it from any Airport Exit or from Land borders Exit? Appreciate your reply, as mine does not include any EXIT from any airport info, it...

Just take what they asked for and nothing more, nothing less. Giving them more means giving them more work and a chance of inviting more questions and more delay. You are a Toronto resident, never mind, it is their mistake, be patient - go to Hamilton and receive your card, rather than...

No, excel sheet would not be acceptable to them, as it is your own production. Also I do not think any of the Indian authorities can provide you with this information. In case of CBSA and US-Entry & exits, there are standard procedures, but for India, I am hopeless you would ever get it. That...

'Personal reasons' is safe. Go ahead and keep us updated about your progress. Best of luck. By the way, you mentioned you applied for CAPS and got the information, I suppose it is same as FOSS. Did you apply online for this? How many days it takes for them to respond? Did you receive reply...

If you apply for PR with a brand new passport, CIC will send you a brand new questionnaire of residency requirement, irrespective of your ties with the current employer or educational institute. Be prepared, or try to find the lost passport. Hope you will turn out to be lucky finding your lost...

I think the 'reason' is just a formality to fill-up. I suggest you mention - 'miscalculation of number of days of residency' . That should be fine and in fact that is your reason. Hope that helps.

By the way, what is your time-line. Appreciate if you could share this information. When did you apply for renewal and when did you receive that letter? Did you receive your letter from Local Office, if so, when was your file transferred to local office. This would be useful for many who are...

The qualifying factor for this Company is to have a registered foreign operational unit, registered in the foreign country as a foreign operational unit of a Canadian company. An employee from the Canadian company if 'posted' to its registered foreign unit will qualify for residency requirements...

Oh I see. That is clear now. That is even great. I had totally misunderstood the situation. Thanks for clarification.

Dear Msafiri, You mentioned - 'Visa post are being prudent and will wait for the IRPA stated 60 day appeal timeline in case your spouse changes her mind about the appeal........' I see this act by Visa post or CIC as absolutely illegal, unethical and a saddist type of approach. When legally...
