    February 2018 - Citizenship Applicant

    It was returned because of Q11. My wife was unemployed during her eligibility period, so we left the table below the question empty, while we should have re-entered our home addresses during the eligibility period.

    Yes. $28 for 4 stamps as you said. I also know someone in the Ottawa region who charges a flat fee of $40 per passport, regardless of the number of stamps.

    In fact, Ottawa is one of the offices which made fast progress so far. If your case went into process after January 20, you may expect the test invite some time in March or even April. Please note that Ottawa still sends snail mail for test and oath invites, so allow few additional days to...

    Travel Ban - PR status

    I'm in the same boat as you. I'm a PR of Canada, originally from one of the countries on the Travel Ban list. I recently applied for B1 visa to attend a job interview in US.
