Hi @armoured , thank you for your quick response. I'll apply for a Canadian passport then. Just confused why I was told I could travel in two weeks, without asking me to apply for a passport, thinking that I would receive an Ontario ID card to replace my passport. Thanks again!

Hi all, I took my oath a few days ago right after the interview, during which they took my PR card after I confirmed I won't need to travel internationally for the next two weeks. I plan to travel for work in a little two weeks, and so I'm confused as to what I should be expecting from IRCC...

Hi, I submitted my application to become a Canadian citizen on November 12th (accepted on November 25th) and have yet to receive an AOR... In the meantime, I can see that the background check has been completed in February, and I've successfully passed the Citizenship test early August. But...

Hi all, Thank you all for your responses, it's much appreciated. I would be moving back to Europe for grad school for the next three years at least and I don't have any family in Canada, so would literally just fly to Toronto just for the test and the oath. Any idea whether I would be eligible...

Hi, I met the eligibility criteria to apply for citizenship after having lived more than 3 years in the past 5 years as a permanent resident in Canada. I will apply for citizenship in the coming days - however I will be moving to France in the coming months for the next three years at least...

Hi, My aunt and uncle applied for a tourist visa at the Canadian embassy in Paris more than five weeks ago and gave their biometric information a month ago but have not heard back yet. They are Indian citizens but have been living and working in Switzerland (no Canadian embassies) for close to...

Hi everyone, I just received my COPR and I am planning to do my landing tomorrow, at Niagara Falls, by foot. I am reading conflicting information about landing in Niagara, some saying there are specific days and opening hours to do the landing while others are saying there are no specific...

Great, thanks! Where should I sent it? Any phone number I can call? Everytime I call CIC, I only get to the automatic message system..

Also, is a copy of my passport sufficient? As you may guess, I used my Spanish passport to apply for PR (so need ETA). Cheers!

Hi, I just got an email from CIC requesting for me to send my passport to the Canadian embassy in France. I am currently in Canada as a tourist, and will not be back in France for some time. Moreover, I will be travelling for work soon and will need to submit my passport to get a visa. As...

Hi, My permanent residence is in France, but am currently in Canada on a tourist visa, working remotely for a British company. Because I am a tourist, I cannot stay for more than 6 months at the time. Also, I have spent 2 months in Sierra Leone for work, and up to 6 months in Burkina Faso also...

PS - I have heard of people not going back to countries they have lived until they have submitted their application to avoid updating their PCC..

Thanks Rich03. Just to clarify, even though it says: "if you visited, worked or lived in a country for two months, left for a few years, then returned for four months, that counts as spending six months there. In this case, you would need a certificate" Because I have gone back to the UK and...

Thanks Chente! I am currently in Canada, on a tourist visa. I will be going back home to my permanent residency address in France, but will be landing in Switzerland, where I used to live. So I guess I definitely need to submit a new Swiss Criminal Record (as I have lived there for more than 2...

Hi, I am applying for PR for the second time, after having been rejected due to missing information. The Police Certificates should still be valid, as they are less than 4 months old. However, in the meantime, I have spent 5 days in one of the countries I got the PC for my initial submission...
