    No Confirmation of Residence Paperwork

    I am scheduled to take oath/test in 9 days. The email says I need All of the original documents in your possession – Immigration Record of Landing (IMM1000) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688); I don't have those and cannot find them anywhere. My wife thinks it was...

    Processing Time

    I was looking at the timeline thread and people who applied at almost the same time as me have already taken their oath, but I have not even gotten an invite to the test. I live in Nova Scotia. My question: Is it longer for me because of different processing times in different locations?

    probably a dumb question, but the application for citizenship asks for photocopies of passport bio pages. Do I need photocopies of all 20 pages? The last 18 are blank, so...

    Section 14 of Application form

    Wow - thank you for a thorough and very helpful reply. Much appreciated! I was pretty much doing the process as you described, but I have had so much paperwork returned based on what seemed minor concerns that I wanted to get a second opinion. Again, thanks a lot!

    Section 14 of Application form

    Well - If I don't have it, I can't apply? Considering some countries don't return the old passport, there has to be another way.

    Passport/visa bind

    I got approved and sent my passport to LA for processing and visa. I am waiting on it back. Meantime, I am Canada and my visitor record expires in a week. I can't really cross because I don't have a passport. What can I do? Am I on implied status since I have been approved?

    need to renew visitor's visa

    Charlie - thanks. Good tip. May not work for me, though. I don't have the proof of ability to support myself. I have a landed spouse. Any knowledge on whether I can apply for visitor record renewal in Halifax? It saves me a looong trip to the border.

    need to renew visitor's visa

    My immigration almost through - applied from outside Canada. But I am in Canada on a 6 month visa with my PR wife (German). I want to renew my visa - can I do it through an inland office, eg Halifax? Or do I have to cross the border again?

    PR card expired

    My PR card expires in Nov, but I am away until January. I have applied for a new card, but it has been taking forever. What should I do to cross with an expired card? (I have a 2-yr-old son who is a Canadian citizen traveling with me - he has a passport).

    Sponsorship without money and Medical Forms

    My common-law wife is sponsoring me. She is freaking out because she makes no money. I understand they cannot deny a family class application for sponsorship based on income. Is that correct? What can we do to increase our chances? Second - do we need to include a medical exam with the...
