Thank you! I do meet the residency days criteria for the renewal of PR card. But I am currently living outside Canada. Can I still apply for PR card renewal? As per the link -...

Thank you! Looks like the above link refers to the renewal of PR card only. Is that enough or do I need to renew the permanent residence itself first and then apply for the PR card?

I am trying to find the application form for PR renewal on cic.gc.ca. But so far, I've been able to find the application form for fresh PR only. Can anyone please guide me on where to look? Thank you!

Thanks. I tried that but the issue was not resolved. The document that was downloaded on my machine has the same error message.

Hi, I am unable to download the citizenship application. Every time, I click on the link, I get some message to upgrade the Acrobat Reader. I did that but still it is not showing the file. I tried downloading but that too is the same message. By any chance, if anyone has a copy of the...

I've been living in Canada for more than 7 years .. I got my PR about 2.5 years back though. If the Bill C-6 is passed this year and the residency before the PR is also considered for citizenship eligibility, I will be eligible for citizenship now itself. But the thing is that because of my...

I believe your friend could get a Certificate of Birth from Indian Consulate in Canada.

I understand how frustrating delayed application processing can be. I faced this when I applied for my PR. I applied and got my AOR within a month and then I didn't hear from CIC for the longest time. I kept on following up with them, only to receive a response that my application is in process...

Hello forum members, So a friend of mine is in Canada on Work Permit. His wife is arriving in a couple of days on a dependent visa. She isn't able to find her marriage certificate as of now and I guess it will take at least a few weeks for her to get a copy of the same from her country's...

So if I am understanding this correctly, if a Canadian PR works outside Canada for a Canadian company, his/her days would be countedtowards PR residency but not towards citizenship. Please correct if I am wrong. So, you can maintain your PR status if you stay outside Canada (while working for a...

I went to him for my MR. The doctor and his staff are alright. But they don't do x-ray or blood tests in the doctor's clinic. They will send you somewhere else to do the test, which is a pain. The good thing is that they uploaded the test results very quickly, within 3-4 days after the tests...

Yes, if your application has crossed the average processing time mentioned on CIC website, you can contact the Member of Parliament. It did make a difference in my case (could be a co-incidence), can't say if that works all the time.

Yes, you should contact your MP. I was in a similar situation last year. My application was in process for 19 months and all I'd gotten was AOR. I called up my MP's office and got an appointment. On my appointment day, I met MP's staff member who called up CPP Ottawa office. The immigration...

You can stay in Canada as long as your WP is valid but in this case since your employment has been cancelled, ideally the WP should not be valid anymore. Maybe you can request your Employer B to get the WP cancelled. I am not sure how would they do that. And as far as I understand, you can...

As far as I understand, you need to provide your AOR letter/e-mail to CIC when you apply for BOWP.

Can you transfer your WP for Employer B to WP for Employer A?

If there was any issue with your medicals, then you would have been called to take up the tests again .. most probably your medical results were fine .. Maybe you can try to call up your doctor and check with him if everything was okay .. some doctors (not all) do share that information

Why don't you just wait to get your PCC before submitting the application?

You can submit your passport in Canada, get it stamped with visa and get CPR. You can then go to India and come back and do your landing i.e. you can enter Canada back using the PR visa and CPR document. Visa is usually valid for one year from the date of medicals.

I believe that in order to apply for Temporary Resident Visa (TRV) from within Canada, you should have a valid Work Permit(WP)/Study Permit(SP) in place. Considering that you current WP is expiring in January, you would probably not be granted a TRV until you get a new WP beyond January. I...
