Question for people who successfully applied for their first passport regarding the "document to support identity": When I go to a passport centre to apply in person, is it sufficient that I show my driver's licence or do they want to keep the proof-of-ID document while processing the...

OWP = Open Work Permit ... thus you had Worker status from the date when your Work Permit was issued until the day before it was replaced by whatever replaced it (PR or another WP). Whether you were in Canada or abroad during the time you were a Worker is a different question and completely...

You already asked the exact same question in another thread and received a response: http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/protected-person.522358/

IANAL, but I believe there is a difference between personal eligibility (i.e. having enough days in Canada) and the coming into force of the 3/5 rule. The purpose of the test is to ensure that you were in Canada long enough to qualify for applying. If you have sufficient days as of Oct 10, then...

You enter a single line with your (one and only) name and "Why was this name used" = "Name at birth"

You only have to file your 2017 taxes early next year, therefore you do not mention 2017 when you apply now. If you apply with landing in 2014 and no Canadian tax due before that, you would indicate ... 2012-2013 ... required = no, filed = no 2014-2016 ... required = yes, filed = yes

See http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/5205ETOC.asp for an explanation what a Protected Person is. In a nutshell, if you haven't been explicitly told by the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) or IRCC that you are a Protected Person, you aren't.

Please stop spreading misinformation. Printing works since around noon, when they refreshed the form. Just download the updated form and go ahead.

Well, it is a trip where you have left the country, albeit a short one. Form IMM 5562 asks for "all trips [...] outside your country of origin or of residence in the last ten years". The trip certainly qualifies under that criterion. I would add it with Length = "Same day" and "Purpose of...

Whether an LMO/LMIA was required during its approval is not stated explicitly on the WP. However, it is implied by the type of WP. For example, a BOWP, a spousal OWP, or an ICT WP would not have required an LMO/LMIA. That said, why should this be any concern? When applying for a WP, you may or...

Re: Landing Experience @ Rainbow bridge No worries. An administrative refusal will not go on your US immigration record. More details here.

If you have not yet applied for your GCMS notes via an ATIP request, you might want to do that. This will give you some insight into the status of your application. Here is the link to the online ATIP form Here is another thread with detailed guidance for these requests

Stating city and country is sufficient. However, you need to be explicit about each trip, i.e. if you travelled to a certain country every week over two months, that would need 8 line items.

Re: Landing Experience @ Rainbow bridge When in doubt, it usually pays off to be truthful. Just tell them why you are there, how long you want to stay and what you want to do while in the US.

You mention sponsorship but are posting in the CEC forum. Not sure how that fits together. A CEC applicant does not need a sponsor. Anyway, if your partner is the principal applicant, form IMM 5562 needs to contain both his travel history (section 2a) and yours (section 2b) in the last ten...
