Thanks @firstax! I assumed I had to apply for a certificate if my oath ceremony is virtual or if I need it in a hurry (which I do). Would you know if that's the case? This is what I've been referring to so far for the application...

I was filling in the form for the Citizenship Certificate and the acceptable IDs for the certificate seem to be driver's license, passport, certificate of Indian Status, Health Insurance ID, senior citizen's card and travel document. Here's the stupid question (and I'm asking it now because I...

I mean, when you receive the email notification for your test, there is a section at the end of the pdf attachment that mentions that I need to send scanned copies of all my passports to them within 30 days of receiving the email. I’m not sure if this is a requirement for everyone (I distinctly...

Hi, so I applied in March 2022 and I wrote my test in December 2022. Here's the problem: you're supposed to send scanned copies of your passport within 30 days to an email address mentioned in the email notification they send you. It's mentioned right at the end of the attachment and I missed it...

Thank you all for your responses! I finally gained access to the system and I’m scheduled for the citizenship test :) The weirdest thing is that I haven’t received an invite letter/email yet but considering I received the AOR (or whatever it’s called for people who sign up through the online...

You’re right! I’m now trying to create an account in the new system; They’ve recently migrated to a new system. The problem with IRCC is that, unless the call is for an emergency, you won’t be connected to a contact center person. The chat option is not useful either.

Okay now I’m confused. I did receive an email with a UCI number but when I checked the system it says something on the lines of we’ve sent you an email but that’s not an AOR. What’s even more confusing is that now there are two systems — one was the original one I applied on and now they’ve...

I made the colossal mistake of applying for my citizenship online in April of this year using the online tool. And ever since, my application has not progressed at all. I haven’t even received an AOR at this point. I’m considering reapplying on paper this time which would mean that I’ve already...

So HSBC is like most Indian banks - you can’t transfer within your own accounts? For example, from my own account in HDFC/ICICI/SBI to my account in HSBC?

For a wire transfer from the bank, I need to be physically present in the country right?

I landed at the beginning of this year and now I’m moving to Canada. I was planning on opening an account in Nova Scotia or RBC once I moved to Canada. But I’m second guessing this decision. Can anyone help with questions regarding moving money? 1. Should I open an account in a Canadian bank...

Yup, I’m outside Canada. I just applied for a PRTD at the local embassy.

“A valid Canadian photo ID”. Which is weird because, for applying for an Ontario photo ID or a health card, they seem to be asking for documents Canadian birth certificates, etc. Which is pretty confusing and almost impossible to provide for a new immigrant.

These are the Documents I’m supposed to carry: When you go pick-up your PR card, we invite you to bring the following documents: Call-in notice (if you have it), All passports and travel documents (current and expired) held in the past 5 years, passport stamps and visas, accompanied by a...

so I messed up the address and I never receive my PR card. Now they’ve sent a second one to a cic office and asked me to pick it up. The issue here is that I need to provide multiple IDs and I have only my passport and COPR as ID proof because I landed and returned immediately. Has anyone picked...

Thanks, I need all the luck I can get :D So I was able to contact cic now but the wait time is 30 mins! I called +1 613 944 4000 (From US) and then 1-1-1-transfer - 2-3-2-0.

PR card question - I landed on Jan 8 at Vancouver, I got a request for new photos on feb 21. I assumed it would take another 56 day’s from mar 21 (since we’re given a month to submit it). So far no card. I linked my card application to my cic profile and till last week the status was approved...

I'm in a unique position here. I have worked in 3 companies (working in the third now) and I got my letter from my second company. The first company I worked in I was a contract employee and it looks like they don't have my data. It's such a wild goose chase trying to get them to issue a...
