    PR card recalled and seized?

    That's really interesting. Especially since a whole bunch are being asked at the same time... Yeah, this part makes no sense to me. Asking to do another application isn't too unreasonable but since it's a manufacturing defect, it's their fault, so they should offer the replacement for free...

    Citizenship oath ceremony - I only have a PR card

    Looking forward to hearing back about this too. I specifically wonder if the expired passport was accepted as a form of ID. For example, in the US a foreign passport is good for up to two years after it has expired for domestic flying (within the US)...

    Travel right after citizenship ceremony

    I just realized that I made a mistake here, which may have also lead to some confusion regarding the disagreement. I don't recall now why I thought that green card holders didn't require ETAs, as per https://tiac-aitc.ca/Electronic_Travel_Authorization.html and...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    Normal routine processing times is still a year or so. From https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/december-2024-citizenship-applications.861715/post-11055114 you submitted only on Dec 8 2024, so you're still within routine processing times...

    Canadian Citizen - H1B - Staying in US

    Well, that's not what I meant. Yeah, that's what I actually meant. So just to confirm we're talking about the same thing, a Michigan cop running my Michigan DL on their system, while I'm pulled over in Michigan, would turn up a copy or picture or info dump of my Ontario DL too? This is what I...

    Canadian Citizen - H1B - Staying in US

    We agree on everything of substance here. Even this bit (say if the cop were able to see that a person had two DLs or a DL and a state ID in their wallet or glove compartment by chance). Only bit I'm confused about is this part, If the cop saw because you handed over your wallet or something...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/change-of-address.831862/ there's a link to do it online (though I think it might only work after you get AOR), though others have reported that calling seems to work best...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ah, I think pedantically speaking, you submitted your missing info onto your previously submitted application (adding additional) rather than resubmitting (that is, doing a new app from scratch and submitting everything in one go a second time). Unimportant semantics.

    To date in IMM5444 form is fixed while applying for new PR card for the first time and does not change.

    This issue is slightly different but it recommends trying different browsers to see if it gets around the issue, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-renewal-online-imm-5444-in-progress.840441/ You should be fine to sign up for a fresh PRTD portal with a...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    The only other thing I can think of that you haven't mentioned is calling your MP (not too much they can do but somtimes the poke is helpful) and ordering GCMS notes to see if there's an obvious reason for them slowing down. Do note that their website at...

    Not able to link the application to IRCC secure account

    More reliable suggestion - reach out to your MP and see if they can convince IRCC to update the city of birth on your file. Less reliable but maybe faster - get your GCMS notes electronically (say via email), and see if you can figure out how city of birth is entered there. E.g. is it maybe...

    Recommended buffer over the 1095 days minimum for the Canadian Citizenship application of a person with lot of travel history. Is 30 days buffer okay?

    Take a look at https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/cbsa-traveller-history.868160/post-11026372

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So I thought this was worth expounding a bit further. Like you I also recently used the online application and so am familiar with it (as opposed to some knowledgable folks who did this, but in a long time away). That is indeed what the application says. But if you look at the relevant law...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ah, I forgot about that. You're probably right then - if that number came from the official calculator (rather than OP doing a manual calculation as I assumed) then OP likely has an odd number of days counted from times as a temporary resident document holder, so the .5 is for a full day as a...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yeah, I think OP has a minor misunderstanding and is counting a day that was half in and half out of Canada (so in Canada for 12 hours) as .5, when actually the partial day should count as a full day. So it probably is 1104 days.
