Quick update: AOR Apr 3

I converted my Global Entry status to NEXUS a couple of years ago when I became a PR. It was straightforward with just attending an interview at the office at Pearson airport. My card expires in August of this year and I applied for renewal a couple of weeks ago. Due to the backlog, they...

Thank you for all the effort of summarising and putting it in here, much appreciated. Apologies if this question has been asked before but is there any app that is recommended? I had a look at the App store and am not sure which one is legit / any good. Would be good to practice some questions...

Hi, thank you for this helpful post, I just renewed my PR card for the second time and want to apply for citizenship in the next 2 years. I have a question regarding the proof that demonstrates adequate knowledge of English. The below applies to me. My last test is from when I first started the...

Mine was very quick. Application received end of October. Email confirming to start processing received mid December. Just arrived back in Canada and the new card was already in the mail. In terms of providing information on trips abroad/days of residence inside of Canada, I used a print out of...

Hi, My application for PR card renewal was sent in October. Today I received an email confirming that it was received end of October. I understand they have started processing now, will hopefully know more in a month or two. Early November applicants, you should get your confirmation of receipt...

Hi, I've been a permanent resident since March 2014 and met my residence obligation (less than 300 days outside of Canada over the last 5 years). My PR card expires in June 2018. I recently completed my renewal application and mailed it. Canada Post tracking tells me it was delivered 29th...

Thank you, Investocrat. Looking at the form now I understand that I should be eligible. Hi Sapguru, yes, CRA does have the information since I declared that property on my income tax every single year. I don't qualify for first time home buyer credit and that's ok. Whether they'll find out or...

Thank you kindly for the very speedy reply, scylla. That was a helpful link and I understand I am not eligible for a discount on the land transfer tax. That's fine. When it comes to borrowing from the RRSP (and repaying within 15 years), I understand that there is a different definition of...

Hello, I sold my place overseas and am now looking to buy in Toronto. As a first time homebuyer, I believe that I get a little discount on the land transfer tax as well as that I can borrow up to 25k from my RRSP to use as part of my downpayment. I am aware that the latter only works if I pay...

I’m also in a similar situation. Looking at buying a house here and borrowing from my RRSP will not cut it in terms of required down payment. I own a condo in my home country which I am selling. I won’t have to pay CGT in my home country as I’ve owned it for 10+ years so they consider it...

Thank you for the quick reply! That is great news. I assume I will still be able to travel with the old one while that process is on its way? My parents are going to be nearing 80 at that point and being grounded for any amount of time just makes me very very nervous....

Hi! My PR card will expire in June 2019. I know this is still a long time to go until then but I am starting to worry about travel while in the renewal process. Under the old rules, I would have already been able for citizenship (been here for 7 years), but since days on work permits before...

Yes, depending on what time of the day you land, you can get your SIN right away at Pearson airport. When I landed, it was after midnight, so they were closed. I obtained my SIN from Service Canada. A good location to go to is at City Hall. As somebody else mentioned, the sooner you can apply...

I've searched for this topic on the CIC side but all I found was information on cases where the card was issued with incorrect spelling or things like that and the forms how you would apply for a new card. The process is quite comprehensive regarding documents you have to complete, photos, and I...

Not to worry. I realized I needed glasses (at least for driving) a couple of years ago. I realized that I was able to read signs a lot later than everybody else around me. While my prescription is minimal, I brought my glasses to the medical and the doctor just took note of this. It did not...

Lots of threads on this but why don't you do the following: Don't land just jet, take your papers with you when you go on your trip and land when you get back from Germany. What difference do the 5 weeks make at this point?

I actually dealt with three different law firms over the course of the application. My employer kept changing who they worked with, so my file was passed on a few times. All three were fine IMHO and in the end, led to a successful application. I'll PM you the names.
