I already had two citizenships when I got my Canadian one. You HAVE to declare both because the forms specifically asks for each citizenship you may already have. Let's be real it DOES delay things a little bit, because the more you have the more they need to investigate and process, and to be...

Absolutely not. - Different colors of "tests" during the test day: Obviously because they hand out different versions of the citizenship test to avoid cheating. It's just easier for them to control it by color. They never give "Red" to two people sitting next to each other because all tests in...

I'm from windsor and mine took 9 months from beginning to end. I think it's even faster now with new rules. Windsor office is amazing and super fast with an awesome citizenship judge.

This is very simple to me: They found that the address you said you live is not the address in your driver's licence when they where checking your documentation. That created doubt as to where you really live. Your driver's licence MUST have the address of where you actually live, unless you...

It's better if you do not have any gaps without having a passport. When I went for my "interview" they did not like the fact that I had a gap of one year from when my passport expired to when my passport was renewed. It all depends on your personal situation. In my case I had never left Canada...

pride, sense of belonging, love for the country. PR is good, but it's not the same thing.

That's you immigration number for life. It was printed in your pr card and now it's in your certificate of citizenship for reference. If you ask what kind of information it contains, wel... everything they have on you from the day you applied to immigrate to Canada until now.

Not all countries work like that, at least in the West (Europe/America) I never heard of anything like that. Most countries allow a person to hold more than one citizenship and there's nothing special a person has do to. The only "thing" is that when you travel to a country you are a citizen of...

Post-test? I don't think so. As long as you don't leave Canada for longs periods of time you should be fine.

Poor guy, wrote all that just to get a "routine application is 36 months"... lol... maybe one of the more experienced members can give this guy some advice? Hey, I think it all depends on how strictly they interpreter the law. If they go by the books you missed by 1 and 1/2 day and you need to...

Hum, just like you did above.

You need to be more specific man! With that post you may as well say: "Read my mind and tell me what I need to do to solve my problem"

who knows how their update system works. Relax, the important thing is that you got the physical paperwork necessary to attend the test. The problem would be if you saw it online but never received the letter. :P

any movement from November applications? Last week my "received" line disappeared. Applied in Nov 2013... In process late Jan 2014...

Good question... The main problem I see is the airline not letting you son board the plane. If his Canadian passport is expired they will not let him use it. If his foreign passport is from a country that requires a visa to travel to Canada, and I assume he has no such visa in this passport...

I don't think CIC can do background checks in every country you lived in. Can you imagine Canada going around asking other countries about private information they hold about their own citizens? I don't think those other countries would simply disclose private information about their citizens to...

I recently ordered and received my CBSA record. In the cover letter they explained that the CBSA began recording EXIT at land borders since July 2013.

Everyone, at every age, should have a regular doctor and at a minimum have regular check-ups. You pay your taxes, it is your right to have a regular doctor. Denying yourself a doctor's visit (the one you paid for when you paid your taxes) just for the sake of a "overburdened health care system"...

Going back to the question "What's the best way to prove physical presence in Canada when unemployed?" I thought about it and in my opinion a combination of CBSA entry report in addition to a Provincial Health care claim history should be the strongest forms of physical presence evidence. (if...

I understand your situation (English teacher being a national of a non-english speaking country). But like many said before, Canada will only fast track you IF you are seeking a job, well... IN CANADA. CIC would never fast track you so that you can go work in a foreign country.
