    October 2022 Citizenship Applications

    I assume you are at the age bracket for which citizenship test is a must. If so, given that you will be close to the published processing time (16 months now) in a month or two, it wouldn’t be a bad idea at all to reach out to them (call or web form) and ask for an update on test invite.

    Ottawa Applications

    I see. There’s a validity date in that section of the notes, so I thought there’s an expiration date. Anyway hoping the next steps happen sooner so that I don’t have to worry about these validity dates lol

    Ottawa Applications

    Thank you. Wow 4 months is too long! I sincerely hope they don’t take that long, it would then take me beyond their 16/17 month SLA. Also from my gcms I see background checks are valid only for an year, that would expire for me as well, since mine happened way back in feb. I will try reaching...

    Ottawa Applications

    Anyone with DM status still awaiting oath updates? It’s been a month since my application went to DM but no updates yet. Is it an Ottawa office specific thing? My secondary office is Ottawa. I see from other updates/locations where oath emails/appointments are updated within a week or two.

    Indirect route from India

    Hi @vishalv, Sorry if I am missing something, but are you talking about taking a flight from India to Canada via Abu Dhabi? Does AUH have testing facility for transit passengers?

    Driver record from California for DL exchange in Ontario

    You are welcome! If you don’t have the official driver record from dmv showing at least 2 years of history then unless you are extremely lucky you won’t get your G license and that will make life difficult. 1. Your insurance rates become very high 2. You drive with lots of restrictions. Even...

    Driver record from California for DL exchange in Ontario

    I couldn’t figure out a way since both in person visits and mail response for my request from dmv also had the same problem. Fortunately by the time I applied for my license in Ontario I had completed 2 years since last renewal in California. So I kinda scraped through! But i gave the guys here...

    Driver record from California for DL exchange in Ontario

    Thank you. I got it from my local DMV office, after filling out INF1125, and it is not an online print out. Disappointing to hear that they do not accept the letters from local offices too!! I still have a few more weeks, let me try to get this done ASAP. Not sure if in MI you get the complete...

    Driver record from California for DL exchange in Ontario

    I am planning to move in permanently to Ontario next month (completed by soft landing as a PR earlier). I will be moving from California, USA. I tried getting my "driver record" from DMV here in California in order for my DL(driver license) exchange in Ontario. But noticed that the driver...

    Soft Landing: Need info for Seattle - Vancouver border

    You will be directed to the CBSA building that is probably 100m away from the border crossing post, not a big deal. The landing process itself would take about an hour. If you are a family then then expect it to take a bit little longer since the officer would have to complete the paperwork for...

    Soft Landing: Need info for Seattle - Vancouver border

    hi, Once you are at the border crossing check point, the officer checking your entry into Canada will guide you as to what exactly should you do to complete the landing. So, you need not worry about where or how to do the landing. At the checkpoint, you will be given a yellow slip and asked to...
