I'm filling out my PR card renewal application. There is a place on the online application where it asks you to list all the dates you left and entered Canada. However, further down on page 7 you can check a box allowing the govornment of Canada to access your border crossing information. I read...

We were approved on May 21rst for PR. It has been 5 weeks and no card yet. Will we be notified when the card is mailed? I logged into CIC website to see if I could find any sort of status update, and I saw on the screen that our COPR (confirmation of Permenanty Residence) document has expired...

Hello! Interview this week! The back of our costco PR photo says "I hereby certify that this is a accurate representation of..." with a blank space. Do we simply sign? Do we print names or give a signature? And I'm assuming we can write in the names of our kids who can't write their own...

My family and I are thrilled about getting an interview after submitting PR application in experience class express entry. We actually were not expecting an interview. What is it like? What should we expect? Long/short? Stressful? Separate interviews? Should we be worried about how to...

We got our PR photos from Costco and there is a stamp with the date and address of the location on the back, as needed. Then underneath it states "I certify this to be a true likeness of (applicant's first name). And then at the bottom there is a blank line for a guarantor's signature. The...

We are making an urgent trip to the border to extend our kids' visitor records. Does anyone know what we need to bring along besides passports/work permit/maybe birth certificates. Also, can we just cross into the States and come back in or do we need to stay in the States for a certain time?

I'm afraid we've made a dumb mistake. Basically, we have been asked to upload documents that we have already uploaded in our original application, namely valid passports and and proof of status for my daughter. (visa) This led to a horrible discovery that her visa is actually expired. BUT when...

I need to contact CIC about additional documents they have requested that we already submitted. How can I contact them directly?

We got a letter yesterday saying our application was being reviewed and we needed additional documents. Two of those are passports for our children which we ALREADY uploaded. Our children have two passports each, French and American. My daughter's US passport was brand new and had no stamps...

Hello! We finished our CIC application in January. Back then I needed my college diploma, and despite searching high and low I could never find it. I could also not replace it sooner than 6 months. The best I could do was get an official letter from he office of the registrar attesting to...

We moved to Canada 1.5 years ago. Last year, we used a free online tax service for our Canadian taxes and we have always used an accountant in the States. Well now we are hesitant to pay so much for a US accountant because we made no income there. We also are not sure whether or not to hire...

Does anyone have a minute to give a run-down of what I can expect now that I've coughed up $2,500 and submitted all the documents? We've applied for PR (first time) in the CEC class. I've read things about having to send in passports, 6 photos, etc , at some point. Online it said processing...

The more I try to understand the photos, the more confused I get... I went to Costco to have pictures taken to simplify things, and I thought I could scan those for the online CIC application for permanent residence. But now I'm confused as to if that would work. Is there some kind of online...

So after trying to take photos at home, I thought we would just make it simple and have them taken at Costco. We, still not simple. We got the photos back stamped , but then my husband read something about having to have them signed by a "guarantor" who has known us for 2 years and can prove...

Hello all! Trying to get all the paperwork together, and a couple items; 1.) I am the main applicant, but my wife as a dependent needs her college diploma. She has searched high and low and can't find it. They also said they can't replace it. She has an official transcript. That's the best...

Do we list family members not mentioned on the application who are IN OTHER COUNTRIES and not in canada? (parents and siblings in france, America, etc??)

Hi there, I needs some help filling out the PR application travel info. I am French but also recently acquired my US citizenship after living there for 10 years. I have been in Canada for the last year working. All my travels have been between these three countries only. Do I need to report...

I am French, have lived in the US for the last 10 years and became a US citizen, and now have been in Canada for one year and reside here on a visa. So what the h*** is my country of residence, country of origin, etc? I've travelled between the US and France but I am citizens of those...

I am confused. We just got an inviation to apply under CEC. Everyone on the forums talks about having a personal "checklist" of documents. Where can I find those? I'm still working on filling out the online application questions (activity history, family, travel history, etc) and I see no...

Hi there, We just got our invitation to apply! I am filling out the online invitation and am rather confused by a couple questions: 1.) TRAVEL HISTORY - the application wants us to lists all places "outside of country of origin or country of residence" that we've travelled to in last 10 year...
