    if you can't find a guarantor or 4 references ,does it mean you are doomed ?

    Since the application doesn't specify the quality of the relationship between you and the reference, just the length, I would use the landlady and others you have similar contacts/relations with. You don't have to be friends, or even friendly. You just need a name and a number of someone who...

    Proof of Citizenship timeline

    Check online for status. It should say when the certificate was mailed.

    if you can't find a guarantor or 4 references ,does it mean you are doomed ?

    Always wondered about that. Does the reference need to know they're a reference? What if you just put down your landlord's info and they receive a call asking about you? They'll answer all the questions and it's done. I agree, this reference thing is dumb, and provides no additional security...

    TN Visa - Naturalized Canadian

    When you receive a TN status, you are admitted to the United States with that lawful status. If you're driving, no one will stop you from turning back around and heading to Canada. I've done that, though it was a long time ago. I don't see why this would have changed. Once you get the status...

    Entry Exit Records from the US for Canadian Citizenship

    Not that I remember. It was a short (in my case anyway) and cryptic document with dates of border crossings and air travel. It was also missing some dates that I clearly remembered as having traveled. Whatever they send in FOIA is not the full dossier with CBP, so I highly doubt it would show...

    "I respect myself too much to stay in Canada": Why so many new immigrants are leaving

    Another article, this one from the BBC, on reverse migration from Canada: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68124559.amp

    I am a Canadian citizen now but I was stopped by immigration at the airport because I previously had a refugee status

    You're still referring to it as immigration when it is, in fact, secondary inspection. Everyone goes through immigration inspection, and most are waived through in the primary phase. As you are well aware by now, you have a note/flag/asterisk in your profile that directs you to secondary every...

    L1A Visa transfer on Canadian passport after Canadian citizenship

    Not sure what you're confused about. There's a person in that thread who is in the same boat as you and they brought both passports to the border. No mention of transferring anything. If there's a fire in your belly about transferring the visa from one passport to the other, ask when you get to...

    NEXUS application

    Won't make a difference what his/her timelines are. The (not) funny thing about NEXUS/GE is that it is completely random. Infants under one year old could wait months for conditional approval while prime age people with lots of (questionable) travel history get it in hours or days. There's no...

    NEXUS application

    Congrats. Nexus is stricter than GE so if you follow its rules, you should be good with GE. Frankly, I can't imagine traveling between Canada and the USA without Nexus, especially during the holidays which is when I usually travel. So, enjoy the privilege.

    TN Visa - Eligible Education

    This guy claims to be an "expert" but use this as a starting guide: https://tnvisaexpert.com/tn-visa-usmca/nafta-job-list/. I can tell you from anecdotal evidence that a 2-year anything might not be the way to go. Unless you have significant experience in a niche area and the company writes...

    Have a work permit in another country while living in Canada with PR

    Only fulfillment of presence and other Canadian citizenship requirements matter. You can hold tourist visas, work permits, permanent residence, citizenship, or even government offices in another country. Don't overthink this. Follow the instructions in the documents/applications.

    NEXUS application

    This, as they say in the middle east, is in the "inshallah" category. No one knows. Conditional approval for GE or NEXUS can come within hours or months/years. Sit tight, it'll take a while.

    Citizenship to TN visa

    There are many ways to find a job in the US (or anywhere else). First, it's within the network you have, professional (i.e. LinkedIn, etc) or otherwise (granny's first cousin, thrice removed). Second, through applying directly to targeted companies and positions. Third, through recruitment...

    Difficult Situation: Adoption and Citizenship ! (Help!!)

    Understood. Well, the kids are PR of Canada so they're destined for citizenship whether they get it at the same time as you or not. That's the good news. Regarding the acceptance of adoption documents from a foreign country, I can't even begin to tell you how complicated that is. If you thought...

    Leaving Canada After Applying for Citizenship

    Sounds like your "work-related opportunity" is flexible. If so, and it can happen in a couple years, then wait. Otherwise, go for the relocation if it helps advance your career or allow you to earn more money. You will eventually get your citizenship but career opportunities are fleeting. That's...

    Difficult Situation: Adoption and Citizenship ! (Help!!)

    Are the two sets of children the same? Or you sponsored your step kids and two MORE separately? Not enough info. In my view, this forum is mostly about in Indian migration to Canada (OCI, etc..) so not much expertise on Taiwan. Talk to an immigration lawyer. Good luck

    No given name

    How did this pass any quality control? Going out on a limb here but this looks like an error in production of the passport and is sure to cause you problems, especially if it doesn't match other IDs you have. I'm also guessing your first name is Amandeep and Singh Singh is your middle/last...
