    Time duration spent in Canada during work permit (counts for CA Citizenship)

    Guys, Something is wrong with all above comments. Have a look at below two links to know CHANGED Citizenship rules. Time spent as a non-PR won't be considered towards citizenship anymore, not even half. And one has to be present in Canada for 4 out of last 6 years with each year's...

    July - 2014 Applications

    In my case, I felt that all the lines (2nd, 3rd & 4th) are updated during midnight, may be around 12.30 to 1 am. So if no updates are seen during early morning when you wake up, then mostly during that whole day you won't see anything - even I kept checking before sleeping time like 11-11.30 pm...

    Sponsor Spouse

    There are lot more chances of rejection if you apply visit visa for spouse because of relationship factor and so CIC seeks for a very strong reason from you to prove that your spouse will leave Canada after expiry of visit visa. If you are on Work Permit, then why don't you think to apply Open...

    BOWP - March Applicants

    I don't think it's only an issue of not attaching the passport in application, they must have tracked you and so they claim that last valid status was today when decision is made on your BOWP. the basic issue is applying everything late - even though you got AOR on Feb 19, you applied BOWP on...

    BOWP - March Applicants

    In my opinion, as your WP expired on 5 Apr, you should have applied for BOWP during start of 2015 (sometime before mid January) as you could notice that CIC processing time has always been to more than 1.5 months to process work permit extensions, nowadays it is 2.5 to 3 months processing time...
