My next-door-neighbour (Senior Banking Executive in Dubai) was in the same situation, even a little worse than yours - - wasn't employed for all 5 years, - not even self-employed, - travelled (using his past earnings) to Dubai frequently, - the reason of travel was to manage Dubai...

On test day, what I understand that COs are committed to utilising full 12 months (starting from the date of AOR - so it becomes 14 months cycle) window as a wait-time for citizenship applicants. That's how a backlog is piled up and nowadays those who got their test/interview in July are being...

Nothing to worry about that - seems like the standard process of delay due to backlog clearance. A large blank space in GCMS notes under security means - its done and comments have been masked. Our test was on 13th Mar and so far waiting for DM status. Our timeline is: CPC: Scarborough, Sent...

Perhaps you were in a hurry to take back your application. depnabill advise is quite acceptable - dont rush & slow down. I was in similar situation then I spoke with IRCC multiple staff and I got a reply that 183 days counting starts only when you started your ties with Canada. So as the need...

My only advise to applicants is to call IRCC and check with them about your specific situation as PC is required or not in your situation. Pl dont delay your citizenship application (just because of missing PC - you assumed) or spend time/resources in getting Police certificate when it is not...

dpenabill, Good to see your judgmental replies; am not sure why are you saying 6 L or M has no relation. 6 L says entire 6 years period out of which 6 M expedites 4 years eligibility period (physical presence in Canada) but great point is that IRCC had clearly defined eligibility period in old...

dpenabill, Thanks for your reply however fact is that old form (CIT002E-2) (dated 06-2017) point 6 L or M clearly says: "In the six (6) years immediately before the date of your application or since you became a permanent resident, which ever is most recent." Within this context, 4 years (out...

I may be wrong but: What we all are missing here is "an applicant who's not in Canada (holding no status like refuge, student, work permit, immigration) as landed immigrant/any status and he/she was in his/her home town during first 6 or 12-months of 4 year, why would those 183 days be counted...

1. Write only Work / Residence Visa 2. Get Airport Entry Record from UAE Airport authorities, get it attested by UAE Foreign Office then in Canada send it to UAE Consulate Ottawa for local attestation. After these steps it would be accepted by Citizenship Officer.

There are couple of items: (1) holding valid UAE visa. IRCC officers know that UAE only issues work or residence visas. So you are at a higher risk to prove that 'you were not working there for entire eligibility period.' (2) Then you have to ensure that while having valid UAE visa you were in...

Visas from UAE or KSA are typically work visas - not immigration status. But IRCC has mentioned very clearly that all types of visas (student, work, etc) should be mentioned so we have to write details. My husband holds UAE residency too and he mentioned as RESIDENCE VISA (IQAMA) as he wasn't...

Your choice whichever is better you feel but explain.

I was in same situation, what I did - is marked NO but write a covering letter stating that I was not landed immigrant and on so & so date I became. Since then I'm in Canada. Hope that will help. Otherwise you will end up filing Crown Servant form & I'm sure you are not that case. So write NO...

I'm afraid what are you talking about. In Dubai it hardly takes 15 minutes to share details with CID staff and max 48 hours to get the Police certificate. I got it for myself and my husband within 48 hrs.

Original Police certificate, where cumulative stay is more than 183 days is MUST. Without that application would be returned at initial scrutiny as incomplete. So that would be waste of 2-4 weeks. Best is to apply with full REQUIRED DOCS.

Don’t make the mistake of migrating to Canada, it’s a fool’s paradise http://newseastwest.com/dont-make-the-mistake-of-migrating-to-canada-its-a-fools-paradise/ By Bimal Sharma (Due to privacy concerns and relentless pressure, the name of the author is changed) TORONTO: As I read the...

Thanks dpenabill, based on this point: In contrast, if CIC is sending a form to applicants who applied prior to June 11 asking them to, essentially, complete a new version of the section in the application for prohibitions, that is, to disclose any foreign offences and give details, then the...

That's the point dpenabill....My sense is that these ME fraud cases fall into the latter group. That is, that CIC and in turn immigration lawyers have wrestled enough with these cases that there is a general consensus regarding the equivalency assessment. As I previously noted, the ME fraud...

Thanks Rob for reply but end result is quite different. I advised her to visit Service Ontario office at Bloor St. She did and agent cancelled her OHIP card (due to violation of 153 days during first 183 days condition) acknowledging her fairness saying 'She did a right thing otherwise she...

Dear all, Need help for one of my close friend. Her case is as follows: 1. She, along with her family, became PR in early Aug 2013 2. Family applied for OHIP card in Aug 2013, after 90 days waiting period, their coverage had started 3. Ontario is their main residence since Aug 2013 but during...
