Sure, yes they would do that in advance, from their local embassy/consulate. and then seek out a visa: for which i hope they wont be scorned upon!

Thanks scylla - yes land border, but agreed it's a long shot.. again hypothetical: Would their visa applications whether Tourist or Super be given a hard time after renouncing PR? i.e. "oh they are just looking for a way to sneak back in"/ "they renounced the PR, but now want to be tourists...

Hi Everyone!!! My parents were both PRs but have been overseas for the last 6-7 years, their cards have naturally expired. They were taking care of their elder parents and their businesses. I have become a citizen in 2017. If they would like to freely visit me in Canada (and leave, as needed)...

Woohoo!!! Congrats! can you share your test Date, and Decision Made date? And was your office always St Clair?

Hi Justin - call center can't do anything and will NOT contact before 6 months have passed since your last inquiry to CIC. They told me to wait. I tried my MPs office and they told me no updates from CIC... If anybody gets an oath date in Toronto/St Clair this month please update us!

Congrats everyone! I'm now 4 months since DM, still no invite >:( >:(

Dear friends I got DM on Jan 18 (My office: St Clair) No ceremony invite yet (three months), and I have seen several ceremonies happen in this timeframe.. Is this normal?

I got DM 3.5 months after testing in sept ;D welcome to the st. clair black hole! now let's see if i can break another record for oath invite 8)

I called the 1-800 call center last week, they said now that it has been 6 months since test, they will contact St Clair again to check the process. Not holding my breath. eCas is also not updating fast enough (although it says "daily updates", it is lagging 4 months behind in my case).

Hi Diamondstar I applied with more than 4 months of buffer, but still according to the border officer, since I was "flagged by an officer in 2011 and then again in 2016 for questions around residency" my application became non-routine and I was issued an RQ for my PR renewal as well as my...

If you have been in Canada for the for 2 years total out of the last 5, you have maintained your PR status and still considered a PR. (I think the 2 out of 5 rule changed for the applicats applying after 2015 ?? so pls dont quote me if you have applied later than 2014!) It does not matter if...

same here as cruical. Applied in March 2014, RQ that summer. Test August 2016. Passed. ATIP says: RQ and supporting documents reviewed. No concerns regarding residency . FOSS under review. FOSS set to "BF Under Review". File on hold. (09/2016) MP says they are doing more verifications, but I...

You canb through here online, very easy: https://atip-aiprp.apps.gc.ca/atip/ Select Canadian Border Services Agency, and indicate you want FOSS records. Cheers!

Panda_Bear: FOSS is Field Operations Support System. database for immigration files, your interviews with the passport guys at the airports, your entries etc are available here. ar_fabrics: Certainly interesting - and worrying at the same time. I am not refugee status, but yes, I have been back...

Hello everyone! I need help understanding the latest officer notes on my ATIP. I hope you can assist. Short timeline: I applied in 2014, sent in an RQ in the summer 2014. I passed my test with 20/20 five months ago. The interview officer had said to wait for few weeks for his answer. Received...

I guess I am the only March 2014 applicant left in the world right now :-\ !. I did have my test in september, passed but havent heard anything: 1) 2014 March+April: applied for PR Renewal (URGENT) and Citizenship 2) August 1X: Received RQ for PR Renewal, sent it in 7 days 3) September 2nd...

I do not know what IAD is , but if you have been in Canada 2 out of 5 years, you should be ok. I had a RQ in process, I gave an employee verification, my landing papers, and canada application status website print out saying my PR application was in process. I did this trip multiple times...

Thanks, the officer and I had a very friendly interview (knew people in common), and she didn't even ask to see the copy or the original. I imagine they only need to see this for visual verification, they do not put it in a file or anything. hope this helps anyone wondering.

It's at my grandparent's house which i dont have access to until after the exam... I do have a photocopy, amd i know it's there, so i dont want to file for a lost COPR and a police report... I hope they will understand (I called CIC and seems like it might be OK, but each agent can be different!)
