    No address in Canada

    It should be the physical address you're living at. You can specify a different mailing address (UPS mailbox, someone else's address, ...) if you know you won't be there for long or don't want to be receiving mail there. Presenting the UPS address as your actual address is not a great idea (they...

    No address in Canada

    The question is about addresses you lived at, so that's what the answer should be, whether they were airbnb's or otherwise. A UPS address or a friend's address could be your mailing address, but presenting that as your actual address when you didn't live there is iffy at best, fraudulent at...

    Engineering License

    You can work; you just can't use the word "engineer" to refer to yourself or have it anywhere in the job title until you earn the license from PEO. Depending on the industry, some companies would use titles like Quality Analyst, Specialist, Supervisor, etc. so that they can hire from a larger...

    PR renewal application on H&C grounds, didn’t meet RO please help

    Agreeing with the analysis and advice you've been given above; if I were in your shoes I would consider submitting a new, routine (not H&C) PR card renewal application, since you now satisfy the RO. As @armoured pointed out, the long delay in your H&C renewal application (which may have been...

    Transit from London Gatwick as a permanent resident

    Unfortunately this is not true. Some countries do not allow transit unless you hold a visa or are visa-exempt (such as the USA and Canada) while other only allow it if you fulfill other conditions (such as the UK, as per the link the OP put).

    PR Card renewal almost a year

    It used to take 30 days, which went up to around 2 months during COVID. So maybe somewhere in between nowadays. Yes it's available for PR renewal applications. Just pick the proper options from the dropdown menus.

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    Welp, one somewhat disappointing data point here: my renewal app was delivered in late August, went "in process" in mid-november (never changed to DM). I was then recently asked for the Full Monty of entry-exit records from all countries I've lived in, passport photocopies, etc. I'm guessing...

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    Your timeline is very similar to mine. Delivered Aug 27, went in process Nov 16th, and nothing since then.

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    Did he learn anything new when he called? Mine is a couple of weeks later, but otherwise in the same limbo.

    I’m a PR but I can’t live like a PR!!!!

    I agree with you and with @armoured about the premium cards being generally worth it (higher credit limit, higher cash back, insurance, etc.). I am happy with mine as well, despite the higher annual fee (which may also be waived if your balances at the bank are large enough). I would...

    I’m a PR but I can’t live like a PR!!!!

    I had a similar experience with the 1k/5k credit card limit issue when I got a CC with TD - not sure if the same rationale applies to all banks, but this is what I learned, in case it's useful to someone else: Basically their newcomer offer allows you to choose any card from their list and...

    PRTD validity period

    And to clarify: it’d just be a regular PRTD application (no RO or HC concerns- the renewal PRC is just taking its sweet time to arrive)

    PRTD validity period

    Hello I’m wondering if someone can confirm how long PRTD’s are usually valid for? I will be out of the country for ~4 months, and wondering if I can get it done as soon as I arrive to my destination (peace of mind, check it off my list), or whether it may come with a short validity period...
