Are you talking about ECAS or ATIP notes? I guess you are talking about ATIP and in your case I believe it means the officer has decided your case and it is in oath process...

Well, as other people have suggested don't use the renewed passport even if you have it. My guess is, they will not spare someone with suspicious history, frequent visitor to the country and probably someone with longer stay in home country. But this was my understanding after reading few court...

One option for anyone could be to move to small places as Thunder Bay or east coast towns as you said. They are pretty beautiful, green and peaceful, and don't forget the nice roads. I used to think that way too and was interested to do that for my retirement. But after I traveled to such areas...

I wanted to add here something. The numbers of cancer cases are on rise in Canada (not low as you think). You may get surprised to know that almost 1 in every 2 Canadian will be diagnosed with cancer, according to Cancer Society of Canada. I doubt that people without having any family back in...

An adult American must file the tax wherever he is living in the world. Many, who did not know that before and did not file have been subjected to heavy fines and some people who had settled in Europe and Canada mentioned they prefer to give up their citizenship. But with the tax treaties (not...

The question is: who is Canadian of convenience? If someone comes to Canada and gets a citizenship cannot find happiness and leaves should not be termed as a Canadian of Convenience. Someone comes to Canada with a dream; if he or she finds the dream cannot be achieved, let them decide what they...

If she agreed to write a letter for you, then I doubt that she called CIC. Once she sponsored you she was in the system as she was not eligible to sponsor someone else for 5 years. Once she became eligible, she is sponsoring another. Definitely her act raises attention of CIC and they might have...

Though the thread has been almost closed, wanted to add my few comments. Medical profession anywhere in the world is highly regulated. However, it is far more easier for a foreign doctor to work in Germany (provided he/she knows the language) than in Canada (or may be even USA in certain...

That is perfectly normal and many people mentioned the same. You may expect the oath invitation soon. But that may depend on how fast your local processing office is moving or their workload. Most probably, you are done. However, stay away from any wrongdoing (at least until you get the oath for...

Thanks, very useful info. By the way, dropped the idea for now and not going for it now. The consulate (honorary consulate) where I talked told it has taken up to 2 years for some people as well as required some sort of telephone interview.

Do you think they will be happy to know that you want to work for the government jobs and want BBG for that? Probably @Stef. may have better idea, however as I heard many people claim that they need the Canadian citizenship so that it makes them easier to cross the border for business/regular...

Certified fingerprint agencies may accept (they have accepted for few I know) with PR card and another piece of ID (ID documents mentioned in the letter) and the letter asking for fingerprint even if you go without letter of landing. Just call one and ask what you are supposed to bring for FP...

There is no CBSA control for departures. Even if there is, they can not stop you from going out. Issue is only while coming back, if you can handle that there should be no problem for exit.

Just wondering, was there any identity related issue or something they wanted to be clear before proceeding further to your case? I guess there might not be clear answer until they tell you about the PSU issue. However, it seems if they need further verification about identity, integrity or...

I found a recent federal court decision where a positive decision of the CJ for an applicant with just 177 days of physical presence was upheld by the federal court. However, in this case the candidate was a physician who proved that he could not find a residency position in Canada (a common...

Accredited agencies, e.g. commissionaires, send the FP electronically to the RCMP and authorize FP processing unit of the RCMP (central unit which processes the submitted FP) to forward the report to asking CIC. However, what I knew from the people here who did at local RCMP is: the local RCMP...

Suggestion: Wait for a request. They send a letter with detailed instructions that you are supposed to show to the agency where your fingerprint is taken. The place where they scan your fingerprint also sends the confirmation to CIC that your fingerprint has been taken. Normally your FP is sent...

I would recommend to translate it even if the body of the letter is in English as it may not take several days to do that. That would clarify where it was issued from and minimize the chances of application being returned or less work/hurdle later in the local office. Even though, Turkish script...

A citizen can not be a PR card holder or a visa holder of the country of the citizenship. Once you take the oath your are a citizen and should not be able to carry a PR of the country literally. See below from the CIC website: Once you are granted citizenship, you are no longer a permanent...

At the beginning I thought google was not working on his side of the planet! :) :)
