    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    I think you may have misunderstood me. I mean, let's say the structure/setup (& kind) of job is acceptable to IRCC/CIC, and if the only question arises over such position being full-time vs part time. Are you trying to say that full-time vs part time doest matter, as long as the job 'OTHERWISE'...

    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    Thanks. One last thing. Assuming the "job" qualifies (I know hard to accept/digest, but please assume)! I am not sure if the PDI addresses full-time vs. part time (job) situation. Meaning, usually a job is 9-5 as in 8 hours; but what if the job is not hourly and is more of a contract with...

    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    I fairly understand your detailed analysis behind this, particularly the connection between "Crown Servant", "Crown Corp" and "the Govt. i.e. public services or the other two categories" and why that's important. So from what I gather, based on what you are saying, merely being an employee of a...

    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    UBC is clearly identified as a SUCH Sector Organization in the Crown Agency Registry. Any foreign deployment, professor vs. janitor is clearly a CS deployment and as per policy should very clearly qualify. The above case was clear mistake by the adjudicator in the first place. Without super...

    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    Thank you for such a detailed explanation. This helps. I had a follow-up question in regards to this. The PDIs mentions Crown Servant (CS), but doesn't specify a type of skillset such as IT, Engineering, Medical, etc., so why is "what job?" relevant? Let's say he/she is a crown servant...

    physical presence requirement for citizenship - important

    No I didn't - I mentioned a job with either 1. Canadian Armed Forces, 2. federal public administration or 3. the public service of a province or territory for oversees deployment (obviously from Canada). I wanted to know if there is any rule or regulation (weblink/pdf/manual) somewhere that...

    Asked to come pick up PR card in person

    If you still maintained a Canadian address, then it's just bad luck. Based on the Officer you just got picked up. Now that they called you, all you can do is go for that interview and you have nothing to worry. You will get your card. Please do post your interview experience after.

    Asked to come pick up PR card in person

    "sent the letter instead of mailing the card because we currently live in the UK. " - so I understand that you were in Canada when your applied and then you went back to UK after applying. Which is totally appropriate considering your situation. But in ref. to your above statement - do they...
