I am expecting that I might get a request from the CIC to provide my border crossing records. I would like to request it now, so that I would have it in time to respond. What do the CIC ask for? What date range should the report cover? Do they ask for records from Canada Border Services Agency...

Are you being serious? How do you know this? Thanks!

Do they state anything about this? Do they ask for consent? Thanks for anybody's insights!

The invitation for test asks for all the passports. It does not ask for their translations. Citizenship application did not ask for translation of passports either.

Thanks for your insights chikloo. Based on what do you say that the passport stamps from the period before becoming a Canadian PR need to be translated? Did they ask you for those translations? My test is next week. I will not be able to have those stamps translated. Thank you!

Invitation to test in Montreal says: "Please note that during this appointment, you might also be seen by an immigration officer to determine if you meet the requirements of section 5(1)c) of the Citizenship Act regarding immigration." What does this mean? I tried to look it up, but it's not...

Thanks, ABscientist, do you have any experience with contacting the MP regarding a citizenship application? I don't even know where I woudl start.

Thank you, and thanks for the link.

Yes. Thank you! What do you plan to say in the letter? Obviously, I want them to act, to request information from me if they need it, otherwise, give me a test date, but I don't want to complicate my file further. I know I can't make them do anything. I can't even file a Writ of Mandamus for...

It has been 24 months since I applied. Received the acknowledgment letter and the study guide but never any questionnaires. Got Privacy Act reports from July 2014 and May 2015. It is difficult to understand those reports, but they don't show that anything was done on my application for more than...

Great! Thanks for your reply. How do you know it's moving in the right direction? Did you get your test letter?

It has been almost 24 months since I submitted my application, which has been routine (no requests for information or documents from the CIC). I haven't got the test invitation yet. The officer from the call center told me today that, once it has been 24 months, I should call them again, and the...

Thank you so much eileenf I applied for citizenship, it's been more than 22 months, but no RQ or anything of that sort. What should I bring when I some to pick up the PR card? The instructions just say, passport, record of landing, an ID and the old PR card. Should I bring the tax documents...

I applied for renewal of my PR card. My e-case status said that decision was made, my PR card was issued. Then I got a notice that I need to come pick it up at a specific date and time, and bring specific documents (passport, ID, record of landing, old PR card) and that "An officer will review...

Since the processing times published by the CIC refer to 80% of the applications, they might just forget about 20% of the routine applications as well as 20% of the non-routine applications

Thank you. What to you mean by saying: "Another question you need to be prepared for: WHAT BROUGHT YOU TO CANADA ? I answered in 2 or 3 words then asked me to elaborate. Answers like "because I love Canada" or " because there are more opportunities in here" are not enough !!" Does it mean that...

You can call the call center.

I think that what a Canadian official might have asked is that the applicant provide a proof that he had declared in front of a U.S. immigration official that he does not intend to reside in the U.S., at which point the U.S. official would pronounce that the person has given up their U.S...

I need to file the application for PR card renewal in early September. I didn't file the 2013 income tax yet, but plan to do it soon. Do I have to wait to receive notice of assessment for 2013, and include it with the application? That woudl delay me. Can I include the copy of the tax filing...
