As the Meng Wanzhou case showed, Canada's courts do not have to prove that the accusation from the US is a sound one. It only has to establish whether the alleged crime is also a crime in Canada, even if the US allegation does not eventually stand up in the US court.

Thank you! I think I will order the record of entry that you were talking about.

Hi there, My Mom has a visitor visa for Canada, and it was her first time traveling to Canada. I am a Canadian citizen. We entered Canada on April 19 through the Vancouver international airport. I understand that public servant started their strike on that very date. My understanding of the...

Don't overthink it. The duties do not include living in Canada.

It is not true that every new citizen who gained their PR through express entry is eligible for TN visa. There is a defined list occupations that qualify for this visa. See this: https://www.nafsa.org/_/file/_/amresource/8cfr2146.htm If your occupation is not on that list, you are out of luck...

Canada and the USA do NOT have a EU-like or a Australia-New Zealand like arrangement in terms of freedom of movement. There is a so-called TN visa for Canadian citizens, but that's a non-immigrant visa and not everyone can use it. What I hope is for Canada to join the EU.

I know this is not about citizenship per se. But if anyone has had any experience, I would appreciate their input on the following question. If a Canadian citizen enters Canada (let's say through YVR - although it can be any airport in Canada) with a non-Canadian citizen (who is not a PR of...

You can answer in "No" this time. If you are worried about any inconsistency, you can submit a note explaining that you were once rejected for your visa extension, but that you complied with the directive in the decision letter, and no removal orders were commenced against you ...

Now that you mention it, it IS a possibility. This is a 10-year passport, and Charles is 73 years old. If I don't travel much, it is possible. But it wouldn't matter if I had to renew it while Charles is king. I am still glad that my certificate and my first passport refer to the Queen.

Just a final update. Despite everything, I said the revised oath as instructed. However, I was pleased to see that both my citizenship certificate and my Canadian passport still refer to Queen Elizabeth.

Hi, I have a question about the applicant's finances. I am completing a supervisa application form for my Mom. One section asks how much money the applicant has for the visit. I don't know why they ask that question since, by the nature of the supervisa application, it is the child who will be...

Try the different fields. I think I succeeded after I used my Express Entry number. But this is nothing to stress about if you can't link the old PR application.

A side discussion perhaps. How do we know if our name is on the list of list of electors? When applying for citizenship, I indicated yes to the question (17 b) to allow IRCC to forward my name to the National Register of Electors if my citizenship is granted. I became a citizen on September 15...

I will add a little bit of my perspective. The envelope does not have a "Do not forward" sign. But through my own experience, I advise against using Canada Post's mail forwarding service for the following reason. The item containing your certificate may be treated as a parcel by Canada Post...

Does the Vancouver office send certificates promptly? So far, I see in this thread that the Scarborough office seems particularly efficient in sending out certificates after the ceremony. What about the Vancouver office? My file was marked closed Sept 19, 2022.
