My question was "Why is that a proud thing to do?" in reference to this "No it just funny caz I saw you proudly commenting in every thread about your getting citizenship while staying overseas"

I gave my experience, to aid others, there is nothing to suggest pridefulness in any of my posts. I was asked to give my experience, not your "friend"'s experience. So I can only give what i have experienced first hand. Whatever I'm willing to spend is my own choice and money may not be...

Why is that funny? Perhaps you can provide more information on your friends experience. How was the interview, how did they recieve notification of their test and oath etc?

Well that depends on how much money you have I guess. And how much you value having someone to watch your mail etc

No I wasn't but that was just me, I'm sure it happens

They gave me a test centre closest to my residence in us, so they we're even helpful about it

Yes and with 10 days notice for the test. Definitely you cannot miss a date.

She asked me basically everything I did during the period. She asked me when I got married, where and whether my spouse was Canadian, she is not. I volunteered that I had a green card also, it didn't seem to make a difference. She asked when I got my green card, I got it after applying for...

It can be done, I have done it. I used a consultant, all correspondence went through them. I gave my residence abroad. No issues

Thanks, I also wanted to add that I applied after I left Canada, I have seen people here worried about applying before they leave etc. I believe this is irrelevant, there is a well defined residency criteria, if you match it you can apply, even if you are living on the moon.

Hi, I finally got my oath ceremony, the entire process was done while living outside of Canada. For the oath ceremony I will take a day off work and drive to and from Montreal, same day. I'm led to believe I can do land crossings into Canada without a passport, i can use my certificate? For...

Passed interview on May18th, my status changed to "decision made" on July 12th, no updates since. Is that within reasonable bounds..if the decision is made, why no decision?!

As someone who has signed a contract with the provision that I am "willing to work anywhere in the world" and did end up in 3 different jurisdictions, it was always the companies responsibility to provide a visa. Do not let companies bully you into doing risky things like working on tourist...

I find the US the worst. I have PR there and the last time I entered with my wife who is american and the two of us approach, I get slightly grilled, simple questions as usual and I get a cold grimace in response, nothing verbal, then he turns to her smiles and says welcome home, I just got the...

Not legal advise, just my opinion: If you are a full time employee, i.e. not an independent contractor, they cannot sack you because you do not have the correct visa to work in a new jurisdiction. If you tell them you cannot legally work in the US and they fire you, they have essentially fired...

I think "screwed" should be put in context here, I dont think it means your application will fail, if you satisfy all criteria, just that you will have to answer a lot of questions and be consistent and truthful in the interview and they could do some extra checks to ensure residency criteria is...

Definitely read the text, then do those quick online practice tests until you get say 20/20 3 times in a row, checking sections in the text for questions you got wrong . That worked for me, however I have the huge advantage of having English as my first language, I can see how the condensed...

I see the spreadsheet average for montreal is over 40 days from DM to oath letter, then another 20 to oath date, so maybe I'll just wait it out.

Hi, I got DM from Montreal July 10th, no oath letter yet. I'm basically worried because I will be away on trips to BC and Europe: Aug 8th-14th and Aug 25th to Sept 2nd I've already put a lot of money into these trips and people are relying on me to travel etc. So I won't change them at this...

what if you dont care about pre-pr time?
