    Family sponsorship: supporting documents

    Hi, I'm wondering if copies of all supporting documents have to be notarized or does it applies only to translated documents? The instructions are not exactly clear on that. Thanks

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    I have another quick question about supporting documents. Do we need to certify photocopies of all supporting documents (like our Canadian passports) or only of documents that are not originally in English or French? Thanks.

    Sponsoring Parents in 2015

    I have a similar question. We are going to sponsor my wife's parents, and when we visited them in the summer, they signed all the required forms. But now it looks like the forms have changed. What is going to happen if we send old versions of pages with their signatures? Will CIC accept our...

    travelling after oath without Canadian passports

    Thanks, this is very helpful, since we can enter into the US on our original passports. Do we get citizenship cards immediately after the oath ceremony?

    travelling after oath without Canadian passports

    We've just received our oath notifications (which obviously makes us very happy). However, we have a trip to the US scheduled a week after the oath ceremony. As a matter of fact, there will be only 4 business days between our oath ceremony and the trip, which makes getting Canadian passports in...

    expired PR card: re-entering with Confirmation of PR

    According to the CIC website, one can re-enter Canada using a Confirmation of Permanent Residence instead of a PR card when returning in a private vehicle. Has anyone experienced any issues with that (in particular at the Peace Arch crossing in BC)? Does one have to go through extended...

    Notice of Assessment from CRA for PR cards renewal

    Hi, We are about to renew our PR cards and just have discovered that we need to provide the Notices of Assessment from the CRA, which we, unfortunately, discarded. I am wondering now if CIC will accept Option C printouts or printouts from My Account from the CRA web-site. Thanks

    Yes, for example, our children's report cards from their schools (I guess this is needed to confirm that they are in Canada).

    July 2013 Applications

    If I had to guess, I would say it's because mine is a family application with tons of extra documents. A colleague of mine sent his application just days before I sent ours. But his was individual and he received his acknowledgement letter about three weeks ago.

    July 2013 Applications

    I would suggest waiting. Mine was delivered on July 11th. I have not received anything yet, and there is nothing on Ecas. I don't think it's likely that they would lose a whole bunch of July applications. But if they did, it's very upsetting, as it took me over a month to put everything together...
