    Anyone ever have to show previous passport in international travel?

    it will depend on where you are going. lets say you would need a visa with the Canadian passport which you wouldn't with your former passport, then you are better off with the old one. Although this is very unlikely, it could happen. For the most part, both passports (Canadian and my current...

    where did you get the 3 day timeframe? I have a clean record and my FP are with CIC for a while now. They claimed that all is good and I'll receive the test info once they have a test scheduled for my local office. So it all depends on your local office. Some are faster, some are slower.

    October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

    I know it doesn't show in ECAS that they received, but was curious if they did receive it (after all we don't get any information if they do or don't) since this might be a delay factor for the test invite. Moreover, what I was trying to get was what the next step would be and possible date. She...

    Study visa denied

    Thanks for your reply @scylla As for my brother I can understand the refusal based on the ESL, I only questioned because when I came to Canada my wife and I used the same route and got our visas approved, even with the ESL part before the program, which I did not need after taking their exam...

For the second time, they decided to go to their local VAC and applied in person. The VAC person checked everything and said...

    Please update the spreadsheet. FP done yesterday (12-02 and the request was from 07-02). Now we just need to wait for the test invite. Lady at the FP office said it might take a week to get there. Does someone have produced some statistics on how fast after FP are sent the test invite is sent?

    Hello @Joshua1, @razerblade and @Kan_Sri I got back from my trip and read the FP request and for my surprise the office taking care of my file is Saint Clair in Toronto.

    October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

    Thank you both. It is odd that my name would trigger anything since I never did anything wrong and the probability of having a person with same info is almost none. I have 4 different surnames, a brazilian thing since most brazilians carry surnames from both parents, and never heard of anyone...
