No other issues and I didn’t have any physical days in Canada, maybe 3-4 days per year when I go for my H4 visa stamping. But we live in USA and I sent all proof of being with my Canadian spouse the whole time. My old & 1st PR card had expired in 2009 and I was applying to renew after 13 years

I received an email on February 23rd with a pickup date on March 8th! I rescheduled it to May and that was no issue

I'd recommend carrying your marriage certificate, they may not ask for it but always good to have as a proof of your relationship with your spouse! Time depends on traffic, etc. You will need to park and go inside the building to get the H4! And every time you cross the border, it's the same...

Canadian citizens don't need to visit a consulate as they do not need a visa stamp. My husband is a citizen and he drove to the Ottawa/Ogdensburg border, got his H1 and drove back back during the first time when we moved here to the USA. I think it must be that the officer didn't know, you...

As promised, I wanted to post my experience with the In-Person pickup. I wasn't asked any questions, instead the lady at the counter at the Ottawa office asked for my expired PR card and confirm my birth date and straight off handed me the new PR card. In my case, I reside in US with my Canadian...

Hi All, Now that the strike is over, is IRCC running their appointments as planned? I have an appointment that they set up for end of May and I will be traveling from US to pick my PR card up. Do I need to worry about any issues with scheduling given the recent strike?

My appointment to pick the card is end of May in Ottawa and I’ve booked tkts from USA. Will they email me beforehand if my appointment is cancelled? I’d rather not fly down if the appointment is rescheduled and I can reschedule my flight

The email I received did not state that, I do not have an email. Try calling them using the TextNo app

Thank you very much for providing some clarity. I have resided with my spouse in Canada and we moved to US a few years ago. We’re now planning to move back to Canada but it’s quite the transition process especially when kids & completion of school years gets into the mix. In fact, we also got my...

I am residing with my Canadian citizen spouse in US and we are planning to return to Canada. While we visited Canada in June 2022, I applied for my expired(in 2008) PR card to be renewed(due to the fact that time spent outside Canada with a Canadian Citizen spouse can be counted towards RO). I...

No, I did not apply under humanitarian grounds. My application for renewal was just regular PR card extension

That is the email in the letter, but you need to hit Reply to the email you received the email from. That would be the local office email and it's not question@cic.gc.ca Also they expect you to be in Canada while applying for the PR Card so I don't think there is any accommodation for...

I was called to come pick up my renewed PR card in person from the Ottawa office as I currently reside in US with my Canadian citizen spouse. I requested for my appointment to pick up the PR Card to a Monday, but they rescheduled it to the closest Wednesday. Does the Ottawa office do PR card...

I requested for my appointment to pick up the PR Card to a Monday, but they rescheduled it to the closest Wednesday. Does the Ottawa office do PR card pickups only on Wednesdays?

Thank you, is there a phone number I can call the Ottawa CIC office?

I finally received an email from CIC asking me to come in person to the Ottawa CIC office to pick my extended PR Card. I had applied in June 2022 and am currently in USA accompanying my Canadian citizen husband. We are trying to move back to Canada and so I applied for the extension of my...

It's been over a week and no response to the webform. They just responded saying thanks for contacting IRCC, and we're experiencing a high volume of requests, so our response maybe delayed. Any idea what I can do?
