Hi, Pay attention to the wording of the second sentence in my first post, which says: "However, when re-entering Canada to remain there permanently, you must show a Canadian passport." In other words, when you decide to move home permenently, you will need your Canadian passport, which will...

You understood perfectly - Canada accepts and DOES NOT FROWN on dual citizenship. However, when re-entering Canada to remain there permanently, you must show a Canadian passport. The website below gives you all the information that you need to apply for your Canadian passport from within the...

Please note that 39 months is when 30% of the cases or applications are completed, and this is NOT guaranteed. Go across the row and you will see when 70% and 80% of the cases are finalized. CIC uses the statistic for the completion of 70% or 80% of the cases as a yardstick and not 30%. And...

Please check the link below from CIC (Citizenship and Immigration Canada); look for New Delhi, which is under the column that says "Processing Times at Individual Visa Offices in Asia and Pacific" and go across to rows - they start from when 30% of the cases are finalized to when 80% of the...

An applicant can always do a change of address whether in country or out of country while the application is in process BUT it is advisable not to do this when it is too close towards the end of the process. If I understand you correctly, your PR application is handled by the London Consulate -...

NK, I believe you are sponsoring your wife from within Canada. Also, I remember that you have a daughter who was born in Canada. I am curious as to what checklist you are looking at. It should be Form IMM 5443 -the Document Checklist – and on it, “the applicant” refers to your wife. So...

Softncool, Also, since you are using the SAP, once you submitted your application in September 2006, you are not supposed to contact them until they start requesting for your additional documents, which would include the IELTS if it is required, and if it was not submitted at the time of the...

Hi Thaiguy, Your input - appreciated - brings to light yet another scenario of how CIC treats individual applications in exercising their discretion. Another case in point is that they will request the IELTS from non-English speakers from one part of the globe despite a declaration of English...

Way to Go, Thaiguy!

Hi Softncool, What that means is that when you submitted your application in September 2006, you should have taken the IELTS test at least 12 months or less prior to submitting your application. For instance, if you had taken the test in October of 2005, the test would have been valid "at...
