Thanks for the information... so what happens if his visitor status passes (at the end of the month) without an extension (or application for extension) in place? Like, would be be deported, or his citizenship proof application denied? Is it too big of a risk? The reason I ask is because talking...

Hi all, I have tried calling the CIC throughout the day for the past few days and no luck.. so I'm hoping someone can shed some light on my query, thanks in advance! My boyfriend is American and has an application received by the CIC for citizenship (proof). His visitor status will end on May...

Thank you for your response, Alphazip! Was able to speak to immigration on the phone today (was so surprised to actually speak to a living, breathing person) and they confirmed all of your suggestions. Also going to write an explanation about the unknowns on another piece of paper to include...

Hi all! I have a few questions related to the application for proof of citizenship certificate in Canada: 1) If the question does not relate to the applicant at all but there is a NO or YES check box, should the NO check box be ticked, or should it just be left blank? 2) The date the applicant...

Thank you so much, this was very useful information. Do you have any suggestions as to what kind of information to include in the letter of explanation that could help speed up the process? Also, I was taking a look at the Service Canada website about how to obtain a SIN as a temporary resident...

I realize I'm answering my own posting but I just found this information on the website about applying for a temporary work permit within Canada: You can only apply for a work permit from inside Canada if you: >have a temporary resident permit that is valid for six months or more, >or are in...

Okay, so he would have to wait until he is actually granted the certificate of citizenship? Because it says the processing time at the moment is 5 months. If this is the case, he would need to go back to the US to work or apply for a work permit to be able to stay longer. So I guess my question...

Hi all, My boyfriend is an American born citizen and his mother is a Canadian born citizen, so we are applying for a Canadian Certificate of Citizenship as soon as we have all of the documentation. My question is, once he submits the application and it is received by immigration for processing...
