While I'm no longer a daily commuter, I did have a significant travel history from the years I was a daily commuter. I personally listed absences greater or equal to 1 day (as defined in the physical presence calculator) and put in an entry called "Day trips". The day trips were then listed as a...

That's why the term "without prejudice" is explicitly mentioned. Reason for cancellation is not because they hold anything against you. In this case its simply because they want to have an interview. Most likely its because you changed companies? The old visa was with a different company? At...

Hey Harsha, Yes I had the exact same thing happen. Got a cancelled without prejudice stamp on the visa and was called to the interview. The interview was pretty smooth. Was asked when I moved to Canada and about my job role. You should be fine. Don't worry!

Thanks for your reply. However, it's been over a month and few days. That's more than a few days. Hence the concern.

Hey Folks, There was a request for additional information for my application. I had to submit an additional police certificate even though I technically did not need to per requirements. I submitted the report and my background check is marked as complete. I also got a request for citizenship...

Hey Folks, My mother-in-law entered 61 days when she landed in Canada at the Kiosk. She has a regular visa and did not get any stamp as such on her passport at the port of entry. My question is if she'd like to change her departure to a later date, can she do so without filing for extension? I...

I submitted my group citizenship application (2 people including me, online application) on June 24m 2023. So far neither of us have received AOR. Does the AOR arrive at the same time for both the applicants. 2 month wait since submitted application seems excessive.

I can't find a source explicitly stating that you can apply for PRTD in Canada however if you check the link below, and select your country (for ex. Nigeria), it does state that you can submit your application online...

You probably wont be able to link applications till you get your AOR. You can call IRCC and let them know when you application was submitted. They may be able to give you a ballpark idea of which applications they are currently processing (like applications received month of sep., etc.)...

So my PR card was shipped on Friday and I received it on Monday! I'm located in Ottawa. Barely took 3 days to arrive in the mail.

You CAN APPLY ONLINE! The agents at IRCC did confirm this. However, you apply online to the embassy in the country you intend on visiting. You could wait for approval and then travel. The passport will then be have to sent to the embassy for visa stamping.

Permanent resident travel document. It is usually a one time visa that can be obtained from a Canadian embassy abroad. The idea is that it comes to the rescue if you lose your PR card or it is expired and urgently need to travel abroad.

Have not received it yet. Will keep you posted. Barely been a day since I got the notification that the card is approved and mailed out.

I got an email at 9:30 AM that my application status changed. I logged in via GCkey and saw that the pr card renewal was approved and mailed out. For everyone else's benefit my application was received in early July and had already crossed the processing time. I called IRCC in Oct. and was told...

Your welcome. I got my application approved Dec. 1 as well. It was a PR renewal.
