    Normal Processing Times from Calgary office?

    Yes, Ecas changed with Oath info before I actually received letter. However, Ecas was updated with test information a month after I did test so I don't think it's completely reliable for timely updates.

    Bill C-24, "intention to reside" clarification

    Bill C-24, "intention to reside" clarification

    I'm not sure what your question means but I will try to answer. As I said this is just an opinion. Previously once you received citizenship, your residency status was a non issue for CIC. This was just a CRA issue. Now, with the intent to reside clause, both are linked and CIC will continue to...

    Bill C-24, "intention to reside" clarification

    When I said 'pay taxes' I really meant file, sorry. Whether you are unemployed or not, you still should file. And if you are actually gonna admit to CRA that you are not a resident after receiving citizenship, that will be in direct contradiction to your intent to reside clause that you signed...

    Bill C-24, "intention to reside" clarification

    So this is my opinion on this new clause, I may be wrong. 1. I don't think the Canadian Government will spend all that time and money to implement this clause as part of the law for it to only apply from date of application to when you receive oath. This is a permanent clause. 2. This clause...

    Renew PR Card

    My card expired on January 8. My husband sent in his application one month after me (Nov 6th) as his card was expiring April 25th. And his application was processed and approved 2 weeks after mine, February 14th (which is weird because that's a Saturday).
