    TRV Time Counts Towards PR?

    Hi All, A quick question for you, we are just adding up the days of my spouse to see that we meet the magic 730 days. In the paperwork it says that days 'residing' in Canada before the issuance of the PR counts as 1/2 day, but I am unclear what 'reside' means, and I can't find a definition...

    Time for E-CAS Activation?

    Hi all, just a quick E-CAS question. I have gotten stage 1 AOR and Sponsorship Approval. I received the applicant's UCI on the AOR letter, but to date the E-CAS service still does not work. It has been 10 days since the date on the AOR letter. Other posts say that it takes about 5 days to...

    Doubling up on a Medical

    Alternate Phone Number to 888-242-2100??

    Hi there, I'm outside of Canada and am trying to contact the CIC Call Centre. The toll free numbers don't work from outside of Canda, nor does Skype. Majic Jack was suggested but it is blocked by the local telco (I'm in the Middle East). I can't find any 'real' phone number to get through to...

    AOR Received but Applicant's Name Wrong

    Mississauga received our application on 07 March and sent the AOR email today, the 15th of March. I'm very impressed with turn-around time, but I am concerned by the AOR. It lists the applicant's (my wife) maiden name, and not her married name. She changed her name after our marriage and has...
