    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/210401/dq210401b-eng.htm People have been working from home for years now. They have been more productive and maintaining security standards so your beliefs are just that... Your own personal beliefs not rooted on facts or reality. Or do you think...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    My friend, we live in a world where people can work securely in sensitive data from anywhere in Canada. You cannot work on secret files. Not everyone can work from home, it depends on your job. The union is not asking for making everyone work from home, what they are asking is to allow...

    Possible Strike Action by IRCC employees starting mid-April

    Nicely put out of context. It is important to keep perspective during this unusual time of a strike. The fact that people are even getting communication is the result of the work of either deemed essential workers handling daily relevant cases and appointments or people crossing the picket line...

    Physical presence calculator pickle

    If you have implied status you shouldn't need to split it. The calculator is about time physically spent in canada, officer can ask questions if unclear but this seems to me a common and straightforward situation.

    Tax Return

    I'm in the same boat, I did not not file a few years ago because I didn't have to (So both Required to File and Taxes filed are no) but I am not sure if that counts. I have to put Taxes Filed "no" for 2020 but I assume they realize that's because I haven't filed this year yet since I put...

    Online Physical Presence Calculator does not match form

    I filled out the physical presence calculator and the dates I got are from 2016-02-10 to 2021-02-09. When I enter in the form the "To" to 2021-02-09 it tells me the eligibility period from 2016-02-09 instead of the 10th. Furthermore, when I enter the signature date it says it needs to be one...

    FBI edo background check

    I am a bit confused by the FBI website. Is there a way to get faster processing than 12 weeks if you're not a USA citizen and currently residing in Canada? I was planning on sending a letter by mail like the last time but seems now you can start the process online and then mail in the...
