Thanks for your answer @spyfy ! Do you happen to know how much time there is on average in between the day when they communicate you the dates and the dates themselves (for both test and ceremony)? I mean, how early in advance do they let you know - are we talking weeks? Months? Thanks!

Hi all, I'm planning to apply for citizenship and I noticed the current application processing times is 12 months. In 12 months from now though, I might not be in Canada for a few months in a row. If I apply now and they approve my application and decide to call me in for the test and then the...

Thanks for the info everybody!

Hey, I know this topic is a bit old, but did you ever get to the bottom of this? Do you have to declare these flag polling "ADMINISTRATIVE REFUSAL" on the ESTA application? Has anyone ever did either way? cheers, Rob

In both cases (at check-in and Cuban customs), after seeing my Italian passport and realizing that I wasn't Canadian, they asked me if I was a Canadian resident and to show them my PR card. That's what threw me off, and raised the question about my parents. Like if they would have denied them to...

Thank you for your answers. What I found weird though, is that when I went to Cuba earlier this year, at check-in (on my way to Cuba) the flight attendant wanted to see my PR card. Same thing when I landed in Cuba, the Customs Officer asked to see my PR card (which I found odd) My parents don't...

Hi everyone, a bit of an odd question: I'm a resident in Canada and my parents (from Italy) are thinking of coming to visit me. During their stay, we'd like to book a one-week trip to the Caribbean. Would they be allowed to leave Canada and re-enter 7 days later, and then go back to Italy at...

Hi all, Applied for PR through common-law back in July with Rome VO. After sending additional documents 2 months ago, they have sent me an email asking me for the entire photocopy of my passport. As anyone other Italian (so visa-exempt) gone through Rome and been asked for a copy of their whole...

Might be a stupid guess but - at this stage - could they be checking weather we can support ourselves or no?

Yeah, for sure I'll send them asap. I'm just worried a bit cause I can't find any other situation like mine

Hey Rob - Well I (the applicant) didn't have to submit the Option C Print-out. My sponsor did though, otherwise they wouldn't even have been able to evaluate her to sponsor me. As for the NOA, there's no indication at all about the marital status, that's what confuses me the most

Hi everyone, I got an email today from Rome asking for: My questions are: 1) We sent the common-law declaration form (signed and notarized in June) already in our initial application. Why would they ask for it again? 2) Why do they want to see our Notices of Assessment? Although we did file...

Ok, thanks a lot!

Hi all, I am currently on a WP with an LMO. If my employer and I agree to get me off the pay roll for a week, so I could have 5 extra days off, is that possible? Or do they not allow it?

Also, is a new LMO mandatory? Are there any options to extend my WP without LMO?

Thanks! I have to apply through Rome though, and I'm not too confident about their speed. Would my employer still have to prove efforts in hiring a resident first? So there would be no differences from applying the first time, correct? That's kind of odd!

Hi all, So this my situation: I got 2 years WP in May 2012. I am about to apply for PR through common-law with my fiancee, and we are getting married next May, when my WP will expire. If I don't hear back from the CIC by May 2014, or if for any reason my application gets denied, I would need to...

Yeah, we check the spam folder daily. However, my description says: We sent you a letter on March 27, 2013 about the decision on your application. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us. But I thought that giving them an email address would automatically mean the were...

Update: I just logged in to ECAS and it says: Application Status Decision Made and Permanent Residence Application Status Application Received Is it a bad thing?

Hi all. My application was received in Missisauga on Feb 22. AOR on March 5th and nothing ever since. I see that from the spreadsheet the other times were much faster. Should I expect my package to be returned or something?
