Hi Navid, I am in the same boat. One question to you: did you apply for surrender certificate before (or in parallel to) the name change application? I am thinking of following the below timeline. Could you please review and provide your feedback 1a) Apply for surrender certificate with old...

I have been doing that for the past 2 years. Since the policy is with Destination, I have paid the premium upfront and the money is blocked there. In addition to the fact that the visa is pending, my parents are also not planning to visit soon. Which means the money will keep blocked. I want to...

I applied for parents’ supervisa in 2020. Biometrics and health checkup was completed but the file is not moving. I got to know that I have to apply on new portal. Now my question: I paid ~$3500 for insurance and they are stuck with the application. I want to reapply on new portal but don’t...

Hi, Apologies in advance as I believe this might be a dumb question. I submitted my citizenship application in Sept 2021 and received an email from CIC yesterday and am not sure if this is what AOR is. See the image at the link below: https://www.dropbox.com/s/7yfppufw68su2a3/AOR.png?dl=0...

Hi, Me and my wife are ready to apply for Canadian citizenship. I see that there is now an option to apply online (as an individual only). Could the experts please help me with the pros and cons of applying individual (online) vs as a family (on paper)? Your expert inputs/recommendations would...

Hi, I am an Indian citizenship and had a work visa (J1) for US during my citizenship eligibility period. I am looking for inputs regarding question 13 of Canadian citizenship application: Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country or territory other...

Dear Experts, Need some help with my Citizenship application I do not have IELTS "General Training" report. I did my Bachelor's and Master's from India but the transcripts don't explicitly state that the language of instruction was English. 1. Do these mark sheets/transcripts count as...

Hi Experts, I am applying for Canadian Citizenship and am looking for some help in the language proof segment. I did my Bachelor's and Master's from India but my transcripts don't explicitly mention that the medium of instruction was English in the institute. Also, I do not have IELTS General...

Thanks for your inputs. I am trying to get hold of CRA but seems difficult. More than filing, I am concerned about what I should select (yes or no) in the "Required to File" box of the application form for 2017. Any guidance on this? Also, I did an online certificate course from UofT (school of...

Hi, I became a PR in June 2017 (I was working in the US since 2015 so I did my PR landing in Jun 2017, stayed 7 days with my spouse and returned back to work in US). I came back again for 10 days to visit my spouse in Canada. I only moved for good from US to Canada in July 2018 and filed my...

Thank you. It makes sense to me. One question though: you explained the process around getting the name updated in Canadian documents after the name change process, but could you please shed some light on the process to be followed to get that name reflected on Indian POI/OCI card? Thanks again.

Thank you for your reply. Please note that apart from split, my wife also wants to shorten her FIRST NAME. Name split while renewing Indian passport is a simple process but in case we need to change the spelling of the name itself, shall we do it after renewing the Indian passport? - basically...

Hi, My wife's FIRST NAME and LAST NAME both are mentioned under the First Name (Given Name) on her Indian passport (basically no Surname). Something like "XXXX YYYY". All her Canadian documents have both her names in the LAST NAME with FIRST NAME blank. This has caused much pain already. Please...

Thanks Bryanna for your response. The property was bought a couple of years back but I got the possession recently. Regarding the POA, what I understand is that the Indian lawyer can create one and my family can courier the same to me and I just have to sign it (I am assuming this is what...

Hi, I purchased a property in India a couple of years back and now its up for registration. For the registration, either I should be present or I can provide my father a General Power of Attorney to my father to get the property registered on my name. I asked a lawyer here in Canada and he...

Hi Scylla, Thanks a lot for your response. I think an option is to get a PRTD. I tried checking online but could not find the processing time for getting a PRTD from US. Would you happen to know the processing time from US? Thanks in advance for all your help.

Hi All, My wife became a Permanent Resident (landed) in June end and had to go back to US to pursue her studies. She is visiting me again in end of August - by that time I am not sure if we would still have her PR card delivered. She had a visitor visa from before which is still valid. In case...

i think they send the PR card to the address you provide to them when you land. I provided them the address when I landed and that's where they sent me the card. I hope the same will be true for her. Please let me know.

Thanks for your reply carolbb23. What do you mean by "send it". What do I need to send now?

I am sure that one has to update the address when the file is in process. I am not sure about when the file gets processed. Is there any communication CIC needs to do once the CoPR is issued?
