    Crossing US border as a Canadian citizen without Canadian passport

    I recently got my citizenship and applied for passport - it will take another week and a half. In the meantime, can I drive to the US with my other passport (I have a US visa there), come back with it and show my citizenship certificate to the Canadian officers upon return?

    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    I find these generic answers utterly offensive. I would honestly appreciate more if they replied with something like "*****". In this case, I would at least know that a real human made of flesh and blood wrote this, and it would be sort of reassuring.

    If you don’t drive and you live 2hrs or more from test interview how do you get IRCC centre.

    Hitch a train, or sneak into someone's truck that travels in the direction of your CIC centre. Sleep in a tent or under a bridge, in sewers etc. You might want to connect with a local homeless community - they can share some useful tips. Regarding food, dumpsters are a number one choice.

    Did the test in Mississauga yesterday. 20/20, it's hard to imagine that anyone without severe mental issues can fail the test (even without reading Discover Canada). All the answers are so obviously wrong except for one that is obviously right. Status changed to Decision Made today. Please...

    Leaving Canada after applying

    My application has been in process since December in Mississauga. I took sabbatical leave and left Canada for the whole summer. If all of a sudden I receive the test invite before September, I'll buy the overpriced return tickets, but I doubt it will be necessary. Anyway, I'm a free man and I'm...

    Long absence while application is IN PROCESS

    I'm one of those unfortunate Mississauga applicants whose case got stuck in "IN PROCESS" status. I'll be on vacation during the summer. Would it be OK to buy a one way ticket to Europe and stay there for the time being, and if I get a test invite - return back let's say one week before the test...
