My father has savings in a non-Canadian bank account that cover his expenses. Am I able to enter the full amount of his savings, converted...

I went online to extend the stay of one of my parents as a visitor in Canada beyond 6 months using the information here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/extend-stay.html Initially I did this with the expectation I was just applying for a...

If you go to a Passport Canada location to submit your passport application in person, do they inspect and return original identification documents immediately or are they returned with your Canadian passport once it is ready. I see the alternative is to have the guarantor sign photocopies but I...

Hi, I received my notice to attend the oath ceremony in Vancouver yesterday. I thought that in the notice letter it would mention something about the public being able to attend, but there isn't. Also, the ceremony date/time is not listed on the CIC website. Should I therefore assume that this...

Since the Canadian CBSA report only captures entries into Canada, I went to the interview with entry/exit records for all the countries in my residency calculation that hadn't stamped my passport during the visits. I wouldn't say doing this is essential, there is often a cost involved and maybe...

I don't have my test notice to hand, but I'm pretty sure it says up to how many hours we need to set aside for it along with the interview? I'm referring to the total length of the process end-to-end, not just the length of the test. I'm thinking up to three hours? It would be much appreciated...

Hi I had a trip to Hong Kong during my 4-year period and since you no longer get stamped at immigration there I decided to order a HK Statement of Travel (entry/exit records). That came through and the dates of exit and entry back into Canada match up, however I know realize that I forgot to...

I feel like this has been asked before. I hope someone in the same situation who has been through the interview process can give some insight. I am a national of an EU country and each time I visit my home country (or other EU countries) my passport does not get stamped. My application is in...

This is slightly tongue-in-cheek, but for applicants born in England what "Place of Birth" actually gets you into ecas; England or United Kingdom and Colonies?

I phoned CIC to clarify some of the requirements and questions in the Adult Citizenship application. I thought it would just be worth sharing what I found out here, though as we know the clarity of responses from CIC can leave a lot to be desired! ----------- As many are aware, question 6.f...

Hi I received an IELTS certificate back in 2010 and submitted the original with my application for Permanent Residency. I have a scanned copy of the original which I was going to submit with my application, however will the citizenship judge need to see the original during interview...

Hi With the birth of our child birth, my wife and I have had parental leave in the past four years (my wife had 8 months, I had 2 months). Some of our leave overlapped and we did travel during that time to visit family. I see that an RQ can be triggered by unemployment with travel, but is...

Hi, Originally I thought there would be no question that Canada Post Priority envelopes should be sent to the Case Processing Courier Address since a signature is required. However, I've seen a few people on this forum mentioning that all Canada Post related products are regarded as regular...

It is now possible to get US entry/exit records online. I just tried it and successfully got my travel history within a couple of minutes. Here is the link to get you direct to the I-94 travel history request: https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/request.html

With the birth of our child, both my wife and I have taken parental leave in the past 4 years. We both returned to the employers/jobs that we had prior to the leave and are still in those jobs. Does anyone have any opinions on how this should be reflected in question 6F (I am aware there can be...

Hi, Has anyone successfully gone through the process of requesting and receiving a CBP entry/exit report through FOIA online? I am aware it can take a (very) long time. I have a couple of questions around making the request. Firstly the instructions online say to "prepare a clearly written...

I've seen a few people on this forum mention that they've requested their CBSA report to help validate their residency calculations/passport stamps during interview. However in the citizenship application form, if you check the relevant box to authorize CIC to collect entry history from CBSA it...

Hi Neither the citizenship application document checklist or the instruction guide make any reference to the need to provide work related documentation, yet in question 6.F: Does anyone have any ideas or official response on what "work records" are required, e.g. letter of employment from...

In the CIC Help Centre, regarding language proof and post-secondary degree/transcripts, it states: You may send a transcript, diploma or certificate showing that you graduated from a secondary school or from a post-secondary program in Canada or abroad. These materials must show that the...
