We took all the passports we had at home. Mine were back till 2005. Wife's all the way back till 1990. They only looked at the ones which had stamps obtained during the eligibility period. With one exception. I had one US stamp in a passport that had a US visa but was not valid at the time of...

Got the oath letter today (Jun 5) for July 12th ceremony in Calgary. See you at the ceremony visaforca :)

Status changed to "Decision made" today. Did the test yesterday. Both me and my wife scored 20/20. Test was much simpler than one might anticipate from doing the various online practice tests. Reading the Discover Canada book 2-3 times should be plenty of preparation for most. I had prepared a...

You actually need to include the official IRCC document checklist sistemc linked to with the application. All passport pages are not required. Just the biographic pages.

Such sense of entitlement. There are millions of people in the world who'd give their left kidney to live in Canada and you're throwing tantrums because your friend's application is being processed faster? The expected processing time is 12 months. Some people get through it faster, some slower...

No, you won't need a visa. You'd need a visa if you go work for an US employer. This seems to be a business trip and you'll be fine entering with your brand new shiny Canadian passport.

It would certainly be more efficient to be able to do the application online. Or have Acrobat Reader check that everything is filled before printing (like IRCC does for some other applications). On the other hand, everyone in this forum knows that the system is the way it is and that missing a...

People might not want to share their country of origin. There are also cases where family applicants have different nationalities. Physical presence days probably don't matter much. With the exception when someone is barely over the 1095 day requirement. In which case the application might get...

Please update the spreadsheet. In process on Feb 5. Thanks!

Received our AORs today (Jan 30). Please update the spreadsheet. Thanks!

Were you in India for more than 182 days? If so, then you should have said Yes in question 10b. IRCC needs to original police report so uploading it via the web form probably won't work.

Got mine in on the last day of November :) Please add me to the spreadsheet: Location: Calgary App. Type: Family (3) Physical Presence Days: 1104 App. Sent Date: 28 Nov 2018 App. Delivered Date: 30 Nov 2018 Thanks!
