thanks for the quick response! she is coming from mexico via the USA. she will likely face immigration again within the USA, so I will make sure she has a return ticket lined up.

Hello everyone, looking for some peace-of-mind input; my mum has a V-1 that is valid for ~8 more years, and she is coming for the birth of our baby soon, so she only has a single/1-way ticket, and will book the return depending on when baby arrives. Do you think that she will have any trouble at...

could someone please update? raisemyrent Vancouver after c-6 decision made March 7 oath letter date march 22 ceremony april 24 thanks and congratulations to all. I have to say, I am surprised about how quickly they processed this, considering the extra influx of applicants since c-6. there, I...

hey everyone. the test on march 6 was funny. I mean the test itself is pretty easy, so it took me about 10 minutes tops to do it (with a re-check of everything), and over 40 minutes to get my results! I thought OCR fill in the letters test results where pretty much instant. I guess the time is...

hello, could someone please update the spreadsheet? I am under raisemyrent, Vancouver, AOR already, and finally In Process as of Jan 8 (though they updated it today). thanks! p.s. I am an editor but I don't have my login details set up on this computer

well, they took so long to implement the changes that maybe everyone had enough time to save up for the fees. plus Canada is a country of credit, so anyone looking to become Canadian should have at least 2 ways to go into debt to make that expense. looks like at least twice as many applications...

I didn't mention my transits through the US at all and doubt it is a big deal. I mentioned accurate dates and all destination countries. My reasoning would be that they don't think you're hidning anything. they have access (I think ) to the US data. the whole point of the trips is that - you...

my biggest mistake was using a VERY old Xpresspost envelope I had (from when you had to include a pre-paid envelope for CIC to send stuff back to you), and having my application delivered Monday instead of today or tomorrow. I actually applied literally on the first day I was eligible to make up...

agreed. I guess they'll take another 6 months to come up with a validate button for this one... anyway, here's to hoping

er, on question 11, i filed out the table properly, but I only ticked YES to the applicable ones (2), and did NOT tick NO for the inapplicable ones... dang. I really hope that it is not returned based on that. I like to think of my case as a really straight-forward one (been here since 2003 as a...

sent today from Vancouver via xpresspost and it arrives MONDAY... oh well. spent a big chunk of the morning just struggling with the sluggish residence calculator (and my many holidays)

It's crashing and not loading probably due to overload. Can anyone else get off the website so I can do mine? Please. URGENT. Thanks! :p

that's not true at all. we engineers are indeed smart, but you could've taken any programme here in canada (obviously in english or french) and that would suffice, without any further need for testing etc. seems like the question above's answer is Yes, if the programme was in english. though...

luckily, I was able to gather all documents within minutes at home. Com OCt 11, my application is going out via xpresspost. big aside, breaking the rules too, the level of IELTS English results they ask for is marginal, IMO. I never knew that, reading all the backlash from the Harper changes...

judging by most posts/questions on this section of the forum, I'm going with a tsunami of applications... with Costco cards as proof of residence... and horribly unprepared government drones to deal with it. no wonder processing times are in the gutter...

nice guys finish last. the conservatives were good at parliamentary schemes and enforcing their will (much to many people's dismay). the liberals are trying to be different and that makes things slower. the fact that senators actually try to do their job (however leisurely) is a huge win for our...

focussing our efforts on the processing times is a good idea. MAYBE they are implementing some of the changes late because they are getting ready for the influx of applications? I hope Trudeau makes some promise he cannot keep to the media soon (everyone affected will be a citizen by Canada Day...

agreed. I would've been eligible January 2016 under the old rules. I'd be a citizen by now. Then the liberals took over a year to repel that crap, and now I will probably apply sometime this fall, while under the current rules, I could apply January 2018. So I will gain 2-3 months and the...

what would be fake about it? it's just saying it will become law today (roayl assent). that's on the official webpages for parliament; royal assent is happening today. are you misinterpreting that it will come into effect (in its entirety) today as well? there's nothing in the article to...
