Scam.

Soft/Hard landing doesn't really exist. That's just a term we use, but it has no legal meaning. Yes, for cars it is highly recommended (I'm not 100% sure if it's mandatory, but it might as well be) to have the VIN in the goods to follow list. The good to follow list is for things you own right...

The first thing I would suggest you do - stop thinking Canadian Customs is out to scam you. Many immigrants (myself included, many years ago now) come from countries where the police/customs/govt. officials are basically all-powerful and act like that. Not in Canada. You may certainly find an...

You don't need to do anything. Your status as a PR is unchanged and you can continue to be Canadian. You simply cannot get in goods without paying customs duty, you gave up that exemption.

Agree that you need to budget for an AirBnb or similar for at least a few weeks, if not a month or two. Tech jobs are relatively easier to get (though everything is a bit slow right now), but your husband cannot work as a lawyer or at a law firm without going through the NCA qualifying process...

Yes, you cannot directly get a G-class license. However, they do accept the extract. They will issue you a G1, and since you have driving history, will let you skip the G2 and the wait for the driving test for the G (no need to wait a year, just book a test as soon as you can).. BUT you only get...

I took my oath on 19 Apr 2022, got the Cit. cert on 21st, went and stood in line for five hours on the 22nd (6:30 AM - 11:30 AM) at the Yonge St. Office, and got my passport today, Apr 28. I am travelling on Saturday Apr 30. They asked to see my tickets at the counter. The long initial wait was...

Also I did receive my citizenship certificate in two days - oath on 19th, cert delivered by Purolator on 21. I then applied for my passport on the 22nd and I’ll have it in the 28th. So far it’s been smooth sailing.

Put the agents name in the subject line and attach the signed form. That’s all you need to do.

Flight tickets and a letter explaining why you’re travelling. I got one from my company since it’s a work trip.

No, it’s the same for both of us (Scarborough).

Mine was slightly better. I’m flying to the US for work next week, so I needed my passport. I went to the office on Yonge St. (Joeseph Shepard building) yesterday, April 22 Got there at 6:45 AM, there were about 40 people ahead of me. we queued up in the plaza till about 7:30 at which time...

They told me that it could be at least 2 months if I wanted to cancel and reschedule. I chose not to.

I became a citizen today! Also asked for urgent processing for the citizenship certificate (with supporting docs) and the clerk assured me that she’ll mail the certificate tomorrow. My wife took her oath on Apr 13 and received the certificate today (Apr 19). We didn’t ask for urgent processing...

Does anyone here know the process to expedite the citizenship certificate? I just saw my tracker update with Oath invitation for April 19. Scarborough office I have to travel to the US for work on Apr 29, so I really need the certificate ASAP so I can get the Canadian passport before I travel...

Thanks. Mine is SCR as well. BG and citizenship test are completed, everything else still says “In Progress”.

If you are a Canadian citizen now, you can surrender your Indian passport. You don’t have to have a Canadian passport. However, how will surrendering your Indian passport help you travel faster??

Yeah, I passed on the 19th as well. My status updated today (23rd Nov) to Citizenship Test completed. My background is also complete. Now I'm just waiting for the oath. I'm an online applicant, no idea which office is processing my application. How does one find this out?

Thank you, I appreciate the detailed answer.

Any guesses on how much a fingerprint request delays the process? Assuming the prints are submitted immediately?
