    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Very similar timeline, but still waiting for LPP. When you had your test marked complete in tracker, were there any ghost updates on other previous timeline items at the same time? Like a sticker saying new updates next to previous items but with no actual change.

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    My understanding is that we should use the local time when crossing a border to count / document the date for travel journal. In my CBSA FOIA report, all is in EST. I think that is just standardization for display.

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    Thank you again for sharing more! Yes, 99% of my crossings were by land between BC and WA. Actually 90% of them are just single-day trips, as I live and sleep in Canada and just regularly commuting for the day job, when needed, in WA, USA.

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    Thank you for sharing your personal experience! My main concern is the fact that there is significant discrepancy - about 100 entry / exit travel records - between the CBSA FOIA report and my personal travel journal. I am 100% confident about the integrity of my personal travel journal, as I...

    CBSA Entry/Exit Record vs. Personal Travel Journal - Physical Presence

    Gurus, please help advise and thank you very much in advance! Situation: 1. I have been living very close to the Peace Arch, BC border and regularly commuting between Canada and USA for work. So, in my citizenship application, I have about 280 USA/Canada commutes over the 5-year period. I...

    For test scheduling, is it purely a queue and wait thing, or it has to do with case complexity ?

    How to Report U.S. F-1 / OPT Dates on Canadian Citizenship Application?

    I would agree with you. What does your I-94 show? D/S for your F-1 status? If the case, then more confirmed.

    How to Report U.S. F-1 / OPT Dates on Canadian Citizenship Application?

    First, OPT is an extension of F-1 and considered F-1 status. Second, like mentioned in previous post, status and visa stamps are different things. In short, from what you described, I would agree that the two simple entries you shared are the correct way to go.

    How to Report U.S. F-1 / OPT Dates on Canadian Citizenship Application?

    I am not an expert, so purely as FYI. My understanding is that you may have B2 and F1 visa stamps in your passport at the same time, but you cannot have two different statuses while physically in the US, i.e., either F1 or B2, depending on what you declare the intent of the visit at port of...

    How to Report U.S. F-1 / OPT Dates on Canadian Citizenship Application?

    It is important to differentiate status from visa stamp. In my opinion, your F-1 status started from June 2018 (the issuance date) to August 2022 (or Sept. 2022, depending on the specific date), when you switched your status from F1 / F1-OPT to B2. And, yes, I think you should include B2...
