Hi guys, I recently became a Canadian citizen. During the oath ceremony, I was asked to cut my PR card. My bank accounts were opened with my PR card and study permits years ago. Now I don't have the PR card anymore to show to the banks if they ask for it. Should I call my banks to update my...

Quick update: I received the certificate one week after the oath ceremony instead of "4 to 6 weeks" that they told me.

Thanks! It took longer than I have hoped but still fast enough given the whole situation.

No interview at all. I get the impression that they're reducing interviews as they're trying to catch up with the backlog

I did not get the citizenship certificate today. After the oath I had to sign the oath paper and scan it to the agent. They told me the citizenship certificate will be mailed to me in 4 to 6 weeks.

Hello everyone! I just had my online citizenship ceremony today and here is my timeline: Citizenship application - Single Montreal, QC Application sent: Sep 29, 2019 Application received: Oct 3, 2019 AOR: Jan 7, 2020 Started processing: Jan 27, 2020 Online test invitation: Dec 9, 2020 Online...

Does anyone know why it takes over a month for IRCC to print PR card after landing? Do they need to verify something or because the line itself is just that long...

What's ETA?

Your work permit will be cancelled. Travelling out of the country before getting your PR card could be a problem. Check this link: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/travel.asp "Permanent residents returning to Canada by airplane, boat, train or bus must show a valid...

I don't think companies would ask such question. If they do, just say you came with your wife. And if the interviewer thinks you're less qualified for the job because you are not the principal applicant, there's something wrong with them. It would be a bad idea to work for the company anyway.

You can totally do that. I went for a 3 day trip in the US then landed on the way back. Just tell the Canadian border officer you need to land.

Re: PR who just landed should file tax returns? You don't need to file tax return for this year unless you spend more than 183 days in Canada. You're a non-resident for tax purposes. My suggestion is to not file tax nor declare anything to CRA at the moment. You can start filing after you...

Ohhhh that's what it is :P

"In 2017, we expect that the recent system changes and other improvements planned for June 2017, will result in Canada welcoming more immigrants with the diversified skills and experience needed to grow our economy. " Looks like there will be changes coming in June

Joining the thread. Landed April 16, 2017 ;D

Most schools charge PR and citizens the same tuition, which is usually waaaaaaay cheaper than the rate international students are paying. Check with the university you wanted to apply.

Thanks a lot! :D

How do you guys check the status of PR card? I landed yesterday but havent seen anything about PR card in myCic.

My passport was sent on Monday and I didn't see any tracking update till yesterday. I would say this happens a lot with Canada Post. Hope you will see some update later today.

You can book your appointment as soon as you receive an ITA. Medical before ITA is not recommended because the results are valid for only one year and you need to land before your results expire. Many people are applying from outside Canada. It takes time for them to come to Canada and complete...
