I had to call IRCC. Found out the agent who put my file into the system made an error and put down the wrong country for my place of birth so that's why my answers to the system didn't match.

Edit: never mind; I've resolved this issue. No idea how to delete this thread though...

Is it strange for there to be a delay between the AOR and the date IRCC begins processing? My mother and I sent our applications in one week apart. Her AOR and processing date is June 8th. I've only received an AOR for June 17th but no signs of processing yet even though I'm seeing everyone's...

Hi all, I'm sending in my PR renewal application next week and would like to know whether I can send in a black and white copy of my passport. The instruction guide only mentions "clear and legible," but doesn't stipulate it has to be a coloured copy. Can anyone who's recently renewed their...

Just wanted to update this in case the info might be useful for anyone. The process was actually far less painful than I'd expected. People were telling me to expect to wait at the NY office for 4-5 hours. I waited for exactly 70 minutes. I arrived there at 10:35am. Upon submitting my...

Hi, does have anyone here have any experience applying for a PRTD with the new VAC in New York? My card is expiring on Monday, and I'm heading to NY that very day to send my application in person. Need to get back to Canada at the end of April, and am nervous that 2 months won't be enough...

Do people get their oath invites via email or post? My sis wrote the test on Nov 30th and nothing yet.

How does one request their GCMS notes? Thanks!

Is it normal for CICC to get back to say that you have passed the security check? I ask because I'm reading old posts where people are saying that their security was completed and that they completed some fingerprint check. Is this normal? Or do most people immediately get a test invite without...

My sister submitted January 4th, and her app has been in process since early March. Her app was sent to the Mississauga office. She still hasn't heard anything yet-- should we be worried?

The post about November 2018 was for my sister. She ended up flying back in June and has already sent in her application.

Hi there, My PR card is expiring in February, but I will be away in the US (I spend 6 months in the US for my PhD programme) then, and plan to return to Toronto for spring break (10 days) in March, and then again for the summer in the beginning of May. I know that I can walk across the...

Are there usually oath ceremonies in Toronto (other than the special one held last year at UofT)? I live downtown, but when I looked up oath ceremonies in Ontario, the nearest ones I'm seeing are Mississauga and Scarborough.

It says on the website: You can apply for a permanent resident travel document if you: are a permanent resident, do not have a valid PR card showing your PR status, are outside Canada, and will return to Canada by airplane, boat, train or bus. I take that to mean I'd have to wait till it...

I'd really rather not do that. It sounds risky as there's no guarantee that I would be able to enter by driving through the border.

My PR card is expiring Nov 5, 2018, and I will be studying in Australia during that time. I have exams until Nov 15th, and plan to fly back to Canada around Nov 20th. The issue is that I can't apply for a travel document until my PR card has expired, which would only give me 2 weeks for the TD...
