Hi there, I'm about to apply for my citizenship, but will be moving outside of Canada (back to the US for work) after my application has been mailed. My "government ID" in my application is my drivers license (because I have no other governmental ID). When I return back to the States, I'll...

Hey guys, I'm gathering around all of my documents for travelling and I have everything that I need, but then I saw that they want everything from the five years immediately preceding the application. Whoops. I'm applying on March 15th (roughly), so will need from March 15th 2013 until...

Hey guys, I'm having a momentary panic attack here and am worried that I may have calculated incorrectly! Am hoping that someone can either talk me off my ledge or put me out of my misery. I just read that for citizenship, you must be a permanent resident for three years before being eligible...

Hey everyone! So I got my PR last January (yay!) and got married this past November (yay again!). I need to change my name on my PR card, as I've changed it on my US passport. I just wanted to verify, because we got married in the US, whether or not I am to be sending in my original US...

Has anyone else applied to extend their visitor visa or to change their work permit to a visitor visa? My temporary work permit expired back in June and I applied in May to change from a work permit to a visitor extension so that I may stay in Canada while waiting on PR - the processing times...

Hey everyone! So I originally came to Canada in June of 2013 on a temporary foreign work permit (made it in just under the wire...they overhauled the system like two months later, blech). My work permit was set to expire in June of this year, so back in May I sent in an application to change...

Hi folks, So I originally came to Canada on a temporary foreign worker permit - it expired in June of this year, along with my SIN. I applied to change my conditions of my stay from worker to visitor as we are waiting on my permanent residency, so I know that I've got implied status in the...

I just paid for my application and ROPR fee online, and printed out several copies of the receipt. It has my boyfriends name on it, which I understand is not an issue (we used his credit card to apply). However, it then asks for date of birth, address, etc. Who am I putting there? Myself...

I'm currently living in Canada with my Canadian common law spouse. We are sending in our application for PR in about a week. In the meantime, I also need to apply to change my temporary work permit (which expires on June 19 of this year) to a visitor visa. I've got the entire application...

I'm getting ready to pay my application and ROPR fee (yay!), and just want to verify before paying: I pay $75 for the application fee, $475 for the principal applicant (me), and then $490 for the right of permanent residence fee for a total of $1040, correct? I'm the only person applying...

Hey guys, I'm assembling my PR application (outside Canada, common law) and have come to the appendix A checklist. #5 on the list is the Spouse Sponsor Questionnaire, which asks all about how you came to be in a relationship, asking for proof, letters, bills, etc. #10 on the list is asking...

We had planned on doing it all up front, but unfortunately our puppy had to have emergency surgery which is costing us over $1000 - so now we really need to hold off. I don't want to wait until they request it at the end though (we're applying outland - US citizen to Canada, living in Canada...

I'm getting my package together and am at the point where we need to include evidence that we are in fact living together and committed. I have a plentiful list of things to use - I know not to include originals, but are photocopies okay? I figured that it'd be fine, but I was just browsing...

This may be a silly question, but according to the CIC website, it is stated "If you apply to: Immigrate to Canada, you must have a medical exam before you come to Canada. Come to Canada as a visitor, student or worker, you may need a medical exam." I came to Canada already, on a temporary...

Hey guys, So I'm here on a TFW permit, which expires June of this year. My boyfriend (soon to be fiancé) and I are applying for PR hopefully next month - just waiting for FBI background check to come in. We are applying Outland. Does anyone else have experience with going from work permit to...

I'm an American citizen living in Canada, looking to apply outland in order to speed up the process of my PR. I know that others have done this as well - my question is regarding the application form IMM5490E (Spouse Questionnaire): One of the questions asks if your spouse has visited you, and...

I know that I cannot work for employers in Canada without the proper work permit, but am I allowed to sell things online? I used to have a shop online selling homemade items. Am I still allowed to do that?

I'm seeing on the FBI website that it is between 12-18 weeks. Is it the same regardless of whether you do ink and roll or digital fingerprints? I didn't realize that it would take so long and now am mostly done with my application but have to wait to get the certificate. Ugggghhh. And am I...
