    Nexus Card updating after becoming a citizen - new card?

    Just when you think you're done with all this, right? :cool: I went into the Nexus office to update my details now that I hold a Canadian passport (I also still remain a citizen of my original country, which is not the USA). I'd read in other posts here that it's a good idea to ask them to...

However as I was filling out the online application I got to the immigration status section and it only had options to enter your PR Card number. I couldn't...

    Just thought of a good way to check if RPRF has been received!

    Hey guys, so I know a lot of us have sent their RPRF to CIC via email or fax, and have not had any acknowledgement of it being received. And a lot of people have tried calling CIC to check if they have it, but the agent has not been helpful. I just suddenly realised a good way of checking...

    ECAS anomalies (post your weird/unusual ECAS updates here)

    Hi guys, So ECAS has been possibly the biggest mystery with the immigration process. I wanted to get some people here to post examples of their ECAS showing anything strange and unexpected so we can better try to work out what updates are meaningful and what updates don't matter. For example...

    Schedule A addresses - time spent traveling with no fixed address?

    Hi guys, Just had a thought about my Schedule A that I've submitted. During a 4 month period in 2012 when I first came to Canada on the IEC visa, I did not have an address. I traveled around Canada and the USA staying in various hotels and hostels, on friend's couches, and also camping in a...

    PCC for home country done, but have been back to that country since applying.

    Just wondering what you guys think of this question. Don't think I've seen it come up on the forum anywhere.

    XEP00****** AOR received - what does it mean, and how to access ECAS?

    Got my AOR yesterday along with what looks like a lot of other people here. Seems everyone's been getting an XEP number and it's not yet clear exactly what this means. Are we on Express Entry or is it just a coincidence with the file number? Lots of speculation, but nobody has any evidence that...

    What happens if it takes longer than 6 months to receive an AOR?

    The PNP nomination letter needs to be used within 6 months. What would happen if CIC take longer than 6 months to open the application and send an AOR? Will they reject the PR application because of an expired nomination letter?
