Applied June 17th, PPR July 19th

Hi friends, we had applied for my mom’s TRV and received OPR last week. However I’m not able to make the payment from Canada to schedule the 2 way courier service but I saw that recently VFS has opened walk ins on Saturdays for passport submission. Anyone has any experience with this?

We had a baby and I changed my job after sending my application and after receiving the AOR. Should I let IRCC know about this change?

Hi friends, we (husband + I) applied for our citizenship application in December, and got our AOR in February. IRCC requested fingerprints from my husband on Saturday, which we provided immediately on Saturday. Today my status got updated to Background check completed. We are just trying to see...

thank you so much!

Hi friends, We have a question about the physical presence calculation - my spouse held an open work permit from September 2016 to August 2017, and became a PR in Aug 2017. But he was in Canada only briefly in September 2016 for a couple of days, and he was working in India, and eventually...

Hi all, do we have to sign and date the physical presence calculation? I think I have seen some members mention on this forum but the IRCC citizenship application guide says I don't have to?

Thanks! Yes this is similar our situation- my husband had no income in Canada for 2016, so would not be required to file I guess? We will also be speaking with our accountant to see what his tax residency status would be for that year.

thank you so much! This is clear to me as this is very similar to our situation but you are saying she was not required to file for 2017 because you selected ‘No’ for required to file for 2017?

Hi all, I am hoping for some additional guidance on tax filing requirement for my spouse for 2016. So here is the story: I was living and working in Canada on a work permit in 2016 and my spouse obtained an OWP and visited Canada for 2 weeks, and because he had an open work permit, they issued...

Thanks! Yes, I can see that my taxes from 2016-2020 come up as 'Assessed' along with the NOA on my CRA account.

Hi friends, another question: I have been on T4 since 2016 and have filed my taxes every year. Only for the year 2016, I had filed it late in 2018 along with my 2017 taxes, and I do not have any taxes owing to CRA. But I am just curious to see if you all know whether IRCC or CRA will audit my...

thank you so so much for the detailed response!!!

QUESTION 13: IMMIGRATION STATUS IN COUNTRY OTHER THAN CANDA Hi friends, I gather we have to list all our immigration statuses for this question, and since VISITOR is an option, I am also mentioning my visitor visas. For some countries, I had visas for extended periods and visited those...

I have the same question. What have others filled these dates as?

Hi Rutherfords, thank you for your opinion! This is great advice! Yes, we can add it as concurrent occupation - the only thing is that he is the 100% shareholder and the incorporator and I am actually on the board, because at the time of incorporation, the website wanted someone else's name...

thank you! so relieved to know others have taken a similar approach and that IRCC officers will be familiar. We were not too keen on sending additional documents to complicate things. One additional question which we have is: the company which he opened when he incorporated in Dec 2018 (XYZ...

NOTE: Posted under a separate thread (work history), but reposting here for better visibility I have a question about entering details and providing proof for self-employment (if it is required?). Here are the details: My husband was self-employed as a contractor with a major bank but was...

I have a question about entering details and providing proof for self-employment (if it is required?). Here are the details: My husband was self-employed as a contractor with a major bank but was contracted through an agency (let's say ABC Inc.) from July 2017 to June 2018. After this, he was...

Thank you! I was concerned about this as we have to mention our employment history in the application form. I do fulfill the residency obligation - I have been in Canada for more than 1500 days as a PR now.
