Thank you. So if I decide not to apply now and wait for a few more months such that I would be outside of Canada for lets says 180 days or less within the last 4 years, would I still need police clearance certificate?

I did soft landing in Oct 2019 and moved back to states. I moved to Canada permanently in Jan 2021 and will be eligible for citizenship in the next few weeks. I see the followibg on the physcial calculator website - "During the four (4) years immediately before the date of your application, if...

Marriage certificate is from India...would that work? Is there any way to confirm with CIC?

The part I am confused about is the second document - If you are a permanent resident and changed your name outside of Canada, submit: a foreign passport or other national authoritative document that shows your new name; and an official document linking the old and new names. What would be...

Hi, Got married 6 years ago and recently applied for new Indian passport reflecting married surname. Now I am trying to find information for getting an updated PR card. CIC doesn't provides clear information on what document to provide. I have my new passport with new surname along with my...

Thank you. Since it will be a close call, how should I let IRCC know that they will complete the medical within 45 days instead of 30 days back in their home country?

Hello - We filed extension/visitor record for my parents to extend their stay beyond 6 months due to covid. They received a letter on Oct 20th that their application is approved bu they need to go through a medical exam within 30 days (no biometrics). However, they had already planned to go back...

we actually moved from states earlier this year. They visit us for 4-5 months and then go back. It’s been like that for the past 15 yrs more or less so I don’t worry about that. They’re extending their stay for the first time due to high number of covid cases back home (Delhi).

No, when they got the visa few years ago, biometrics was not mandatory.

Thank you for responding. Were you charged biometric fee as well? Haven't they exempted biometric during pandemic? I was charged $170 fee apart from $100 each.

Hello Folks - I am trying to work through the documents for submitting an application to extend my parents visitor status for another 6 months. Couple of questions - They don't have marriage certificate. Based on my research, it looks like I can attach my passport which lists them as my...

To add, they hold your stuff for 15 days free of cost.

It was a breeze. We chose upack. Due to covid, I didn’t had to go to customs office and upack was able to get my stuff released online. They said, only if needed customs will ask to come in person.

Quick question - landed yesterday and received inspection form from RIV. It has section for modification (checks and doesn’t looks like it needs any modification) and bunch of things listed under it. Do I simply head to an inspection site or still visit dealership to have them fill out...

Did anyone exchange their IL DL? If so, which driving record abstract did you order online? I see two options - court abstract or public abstract.

Moving to GTA next month and I start my job after couple of days once I land. Since I have to quarantine for 2 weeks, I won't be able to go out for anything. I have heard that in order to activate home internet, I need to visit a physical store and cannot do it online (no credit history). I was...

Thanks! In my case, the officer did mention that I can do it when I come to settle permanently.

Hello, We're moving next month and I was wondering how can we get our stuff released from customs, that we're moving via UPack, since we need to quarantine for 14 days after arrival? Would UPack hold it at the customs facility for more than 15 days without any additional charge? We're moving...

Ok, thanks! I think I did read somewhere that it's okay to get the GTF list signed at the time of making the permanent move. We're moving to GTA. Haven't decided on the exact location since I'm yet to get a job offer.

Hello All, We did our soft landing last year and at that time didn't had GTF list and explained the officer that since we're not moving permanently, we will get it when we decide to move. So the question is, can we create GTF list and get it certified at the border? We will be moving the goods...
