Hi all - now with the latest bill and changes in Citizenship rules, some things look bit messy. Further to my other threads, one of my friend has another issue. Lets say his name is A. 1. A applied for open work permit when his PR was in-process in his home country. He got the WP visa in...

What I understand is - if you did NOT use a particular visa (say worker), then the earlier one (eg., student) will hold in your case. When i say "use", i mean you did not land in as a worker.

Yeah.. I kinda got that. But what do I say in the question where it asks "Did you hold any Temporary Resident visa before becoming a Permanent Resident?.... " Yes or No? (Because Yes - I was holding the Visa, and No - I was not physically present under that visa). lol! .. further - If i say...

Hi - I had a Work Permit visa before getting PR, but never traveled on that to Canada. hence, never really used it. I came to Canada only after becoming a PR. So , in the physical presence calculator, should i put the dates of that visa or not put at all?? Bit confused. Please advise. Thanks.

OK. Thank you once again. I will keep that in mind. Much appreciated!

OK Yeah.. that is what not clear. Well.. I do have a Letter from my Institution clearly stating that the Medium of instruction was ENGLISH. Should it suffice? I did take IELTS before applying PR, but I do not have the transcript of that.. (lost it). British council wont give another copy...

I already read that. what i am wondering is - If i attach my (lets say) Highest Education Degree certificate taken outside Canada, how will CIC determine what language I completed the Degree in?? Just because the Transcript or Degree is written in English, does it always mean everything was...

Seems like the discussion is going all over the place, except the main question that I was trying to ask - I just wanted to know what are the options that applicants gave for English proof for CITIZENSHIP. I just wanted to know if anyone gave Educational Qualifications taken outside Canada as...

No. Doesnt make sense still. WHen i applied for PR, it was clearly mentioned if IELTS results are not attached, application will NOT be processed. May be, it depends on the country you apply PR from... some need and some dont need IELTS... I dont know..

Hi - I am beginning to gather documents to apply for Citizenship. Have been as a PR in Canada for the past 4 yrs. One of the checklist items was the Proof of Language. First of all, when a person is already a PR living and working in Canada, it means he/she cleared the IELTS before applying for...

ya.. they get angry soon. All in all, i still feel its always better to return at the Land Border crossing at Niagara, etc. Better to be safe than sorry. Anyhow, our next visit to US is around Christmas 2016. Will come to know that time... fingers crossed till then.... !

Hi all - returned the I-94 today at Pearson. Went to Terminal 1 departures, but they directed me to T3 arrivals. Went to the CBSA counter and handed over to the CBSA officials. The way they spoke about I-94 looked like they were aware and are authorized to collect it. So, handed it over to them...

OK Thanks. Yes, I too heard about returning at Pearson. I am exploring that option too. Yes, I am in GTA. Hopefully that should work out... THanks again.

DOnt have time. Passport renewal will take 4 weeks and I need to return the I-94 by end of 25th June. I just saw the passport like yesterday and came to know that it has expired.

Well... in this case, the PR card is the Travel doc.

Hi - My condition is very similar. My 6yr old daughter's Indian passport expired in May 2016 and we need to travel to US to return the I-94. While I dont see huge issues in crossing the border (we are happy to be turned back to Canada - which is what I want). My question more so is - when i...

Hi - I have a very peculiar situation. My 6yr old daughter's Indian passport expired in May 2016 and we need to travel to US to return the I-94. While I dont see huge issues in crossing the border (we are happy to be turned back to Canada - which is what I want). My question more so is - when i...

Guys - I was telling this from my first visit itself - life is not as easy as it seems... we all were happy just to get PR. We thought, we conquered the battle... but my friends - it was all wrong. THe real Battle is here and believe me.. its the most toughest and worst battle. Even though, i...

Hi Dipan - welcome to Canada!! :) Good to see that you finally made it. Did you come with family or alone? How is the weather in Winnipeg? Here, in Toronto, its slowly warming up though evenings are little cold still. Last week, my wife and kids landed too and this Thursday, I got admission for...

Good to hear that Sharmaji that you got DM..!! Now-a-days, i am seeing that even for returning pp, they are taking 7days+. Previously they were returning within 2 -3 days max. For eg., I got my DM on Friday eve and pp in hand on Monday. Not sure, why they are delaying so much.... i am sure you...
