    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...

    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...

    Nexus Card as a Travel Document

    Hello All - I submitted citizenship application on Aug. 11, 2025 and just received the AOR email today. In my application, I didn't include my nexus card as a travel document, and I am wondering if I should now provide my nexus card to IRCC through webform. The reason is that, during my...

    CBSA consent

    Thank you for all the education! Very insightful and helpful as always. By the way, the request to give consent to access CRA info is still in today’s application. Not sure about the inconsistency here, but I am now staying assured that I did not miss anything.
