I'm curious how many other Canadians by descent have applied, received PR for their children, and are now are applying for their children's grant of citizenship. Or any other scenario where the child is granted citizenship after their parents. Below is a spreadsheet for non concurrent minor...

I don't recall who else has submitted a channeler report, during the brief window CIC "allowed" the channeler reports. I'm curious if anyone has been approved with the channeler report. Or are we all still waiting in limbo?

I've been looking around to see what amount can be taxed when importing our cars into Canada. I'm seeing somethings that conflict the conversation I had with CBSA last time we went to Canada. I was told anything over 10k in value will be taxed, based on the Kelly Blue Book value. I remember...

I've been combing through the spreadsheets and it appears the Ottawa VO doesn't supply AOR's, is this correct? We've been using the application number to check on my husbands application status. I'm assuming my husband won't be issued an UCI until the end, is this also correct?

I remember a discussion sometime after summer where a women entering Canada was taxed on her engagement ring. There was a discussion about declaring or importing expensive items to customs so as not to be taxed. My family and I are taking a a last minute, decided to do this yesterday and...

I was looking around on the CIC site and happened to notice that CIC has finally made an official note that Channeler, or as they referred to it, FBI-approved third party reports, are not accepted. "Note: Citizenship and Immigration Canada does not accept FBI police certificates issued by...

If there is enough interest from other USA applicants, I can start a private FB group. Just let me know and inbox me your email address.

In my forum searches of recent FBI report timelines, I ran across several people asking for CJIS' phone number. So I thought I would create a post for people in the future, who may search for it in the forum. It wasn't an easy number to locate, thats for sure!: 304-625-5590 Good luck!

Yesterday, when I looked at the last time the date was updated for Family Sponsorship, the date was 10/22/14, and it was working on applications from Sept 8th. Today, when it should have been updated again, it was, but in the wrong direction. The last updated date is now 10/15/14 and it's...

Sorry for the dumb question. I know there is a chest Xray and a basic physical, that's involved. BUT, is there blood work? If so, is it a basic CBC, or are their vials after vials after vials. With both a hubby and son who HATE needles (my 6yr old, on his annual checkup for the varicella...

So I'm separating the applications for my husband and I. Since we live in the US, who supplies the proof of our intent to move to Canada, my husband (Principal applicant) or I (the Sponsor)? I threw it in my package, but I just want to confirm. I'm assuming both sets of paperwork are sent to...

I'm shaking in excitement. After contacting an MP last month and being told my application could take 24 months, because I was moved to Program Support unit. After emailing the Minister of Immigration, and then after digging deep and finding internal numbers to CPC-Sydney, and directly speaking...

Since the FBI decided to update their system, they have gone from a 21 day wait for the report, to a 12 week wait. Talk about a night and day difference. Here is the notice from their website: "On September 7, 2014, CJIS installed a new IT system. As a result of this installation, we are...

smy88, I'm trying to respond, but your mailbox is full. Let me know when you make some room and I'll shoot you a message :D

I contacted an MP and they inquired into my status, since my phone call turned up very little. Here is the response: "My contact at CIC said that there is no sign of an urgent processing request being filed. This does not mean that they have not received it, it just means that it has not been...

Since there is no running topic on the timelines for us adults who are planning to apply, have applied or went through the process. I thought one should be started to help out present applicants and future applicants. If you've been through the process, I know we would appreciate your...

I took the plunge today and found a Voip with outbound calling utilizing a Canadian number. It worked, and I spoke with an agent. He didn't see my request for urgent processing anywhere in the system, plus he said there is no urgent processing for proof of citizenship. That completely...

I'm looking at IMM344e and I have filled one out for my spouse. We also have a child, I need to sponsor my child, do I need to fill one out for my child too? If so, what do I do for a signature? He's only 5 and can barely write his name legibly. Are there any other forms that need to be...

So after browsing around this site quite a bit. I see a lot of people highly focused on proving their marriage. I wonder in my situation, we've been married 6.5 years, I'm a SAHM since our 5.5 yr old son was born, he's the sole bread winner for the family. We live in the same house, we even...
