I am almost through the Canada citizenship process but I am now being asked to update my "physical presence". I mistakenly checked "No" when asked if I left the country for vacation so I have to account for a handful of vehicle crossings for a day or two each. How also, would I account for a...

Thank you very much for your assistance. One last question: You say my visitor status clears when I leave the country. How long may I stay when reentering Canada? Is it an automatic six months for visitors or should I expect the airport agent to give me a visa telling me when to leave?

If I were to leave the country now, would I want the US to stamp my passport? It would show I left late. But if I don't have it stamped then there is no record of me leaving. Can you enlighten me on this? How long would I need to me out of Canada in order to come back in? How does leaving then...

How would it be a big mistake if that is CIC's direction? An American who is a temporary resident living with his Canadian spouse in Canada...IS INLAND. I don't understand. Can you elaborate? Also, there is no difference between going to the border to resolve this and leaving the country and...

Thanks, but I question your advice. As long as I have a valid status while in Canada, I am required to fill out the app titled "Spouse or common-law partner in Canada." If I was out of Canada I would fill out the "out of Canada" forms. The document checklist states that my package must include...

I understand it was my responsibility...thanks. Just didn't expect an approval of one week...absurd. I was going to send in my application this week but can't until I get this status thing figured out. Called CIC and am told I have to leave the country and try to reenter, explaining my...

Yes, in Canada now. Will call CIC tomorrow.

I have a problem: I am a US citizen married to a Canadian citizen living in Quebec. I was issued my first visa for six months which expired Jan 21, 2016. I applied for an extension while on implied visitor status and waited for notification from CIC. I was approved for this visa extension on...

Okay, let me add a twist.... Because I am not a permanent resident I can't open a bank account to deposit it and since its payable to me I can't deposit it in my wife's account. I can't cancel it unless I am in person at the bank. And I can't cross the border to do that due to my being on...

I am a temporary resident/visitor to Canada, applying for permanent residency. I flew last August with a $20,000 cashier's check but forgot to declare it and proceeded through customs at the airport. In good faith, I want to correct the mistake but I'm afraid it will be confiscated or a hefty...

I am a U.S. citizen living in Canada as a visitor having recently married a Canadian citizen. I am applying for permanent residency sponsored by my new wife. I am confused as to which checklist to follow as one does not include IMM 5285 and the other does include IMM 5285: Guide 3900 states to...
