I have heard stories of people who come to Canada with visitor visas having the multiple-entry privilege and, shortly before the 6-month maximum duration is reached, they just cross the border to the US and come back to start day one of a fresh new stay. Is that considered a legitimate way of...

Finally, 3 new passports are on the way to me. They processed my applications in Victoria, BC, even though I had sent the apps to Gatineau, QC. They called me about the my expired driving license which in fact is still valid because the Ontario Gov't indefinitely extended the validity. So, I had...

Wow, Streetman, you've surely put an end to my confusion on the ID validity!! Thanks! Any idea if I could place all 3 applications in a single envelope?

Anyone has some suggestions?

Happy New Year, everyone! Being new Canadians, my family and I will be applying for new Canadian passports, for the first time. We would immensely appreciate if anyone could kindly assist us in getting some confusions clarified. 1. My G driver's license expired last month. But, as we know...

Anyone?

Hi. I know the Ontario Govt announced that expired, or soon-to-expire, licenses would still continue to work for "some time". Nevertheless, I have a rather peculiar situation. Details: -- My G2 license will expire in December 2020. -- I failed my G test twice and was scheduled for the 3rd...

Even those of us who luckily got through it at the last moment and were allowed to take the oath, are stuck now because the passport service is suspended. But, personally, I do not mind, because, given the reality of Corona, even if miraculously I am given a passport now I will not be willing to...

Wow. Right to the point. That explains the PR card is not valid anymore.

Hi Canuck. By definition, both a PR card and passport are travel docs but of different kinds.

Thank you, both. I can now move on..

Hello Canadians, My family and I took the oath as new Canadians on March 11, 2020. Kindly help me out with some confusions I have had when filling out the passport application for my 8-year-old child. Confusion-1: On the application it is stated that both pages should be signed and dated by...

Yes, it was "in process" for my daughter but DM for my wife and myself. But when we came back home after the oath ceremony, ecas for all 3 of us became "Completed". The final line was "You became a Canadian citizen on March 11, 2020."

Thanks! In our session, there were 80-90 ppl. When we were coming out of the oath room, they were already preparing that room for another batch of people. I think several oath sessions take place on a given day. There were also some people waiting on the same floor for the test.

Taken the oath today (March 11) and got all our certificates in hand at the Scarborough centre. The mission has ended. Took a picture of our PR cards beforehand as a souvenir since we would have to return them at the ceremony. I don't know... I just felt like doing it because those cards...

Ecas now shows Decision Made for us today (March 11), although it still shows In Process for our 8-year-old.

Yes, as !Aman! said, since printed letters with oath dates and forms were handed out to us in order to appear for the oath the next day, waiting for oath letters by email would not be necessary. We already know that the decision was made. Ecas is likely to change and reflect it tomorrow.

My in-process was July 29. Today, I have had my test. So, keep patience. It will surely come...

Hi. We have had our test at the Scarborough centre today (Mar 10). We've got 20/20 and 19/20, respectively. We have been asked to take the oath tomorrow (Mar 11). So, decision is made. Admins, please update the April sheet. Thanks.

Is there enough parking space at the Scarborough centre? I do not want to stress myself out looking for a parking slot shortly before the test. I would rather commute on a bus or subway.
