Thanks, I hope that's the case. I've read that some applications were canceled because 'personal travel' wasn't considered a sufficient reason to reschedule, so I wanted to be proactive and let them know in advance. I don't mind waiting for another 6-12 months to be rescheduled for the ceremony...

Hello everyone, I applied for citizenship on February 15th and just completed my citizenship test on March 31st. I was under the impression that the processing time would be around a year, as shown on the official website, which currently says it's 14 months. I have specifically planned around...

I keep coming across your comments on this forum and find them extremely rude and unhelpful. I think you should refrain from commenting next time if you have nothing constructive to add.

I'd say you need to send in an inland PR application as soon as possible. At this point you might not be able to restore your status anymore until after your whole PR application is approved. Just make sure to attach a letter of explanation that you made several mistakes applying for status...

Thanks! I got my PR at the beginning of this year (around 7 months after I sent the application). I included everything I could think of, even a little essay about our relationship, and was never asked for any additional documentation. They approved me as soon as I passed my medical exam and...

There is nothing preventing me from getting my BC services card though, right? I don't care I won't be covered for another 3 months, I just want to get the application going.

Been here for a few years, but was out of status for some time until February 2020. I do have some mail correspondence, so I guess I will use that. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm a new PR card holder (been in Canada for several years already though) and applied for MSP. They require me to get a Photo BC Services Card. The website says I need two pieces of ID (I have a passport+PR card) and that I also need to confirm I'm a B.C. resident. Do I just show them...

Oh! I misread as I thought his wife was a canadian citizen. My bad. In that case there is really nothing he can do.

You can marry her and apply for PR through spousal sponsorship (inland). Make sure you have very solid case and there is no doubt about your relationship being genuine. Do not work while out of status and be sincere and remorseful in your application. Write an explanation letter. You will not be...

January 26th. It was all really quick as I sent in my application in July and was ready to wait for another year as I considered our case quite complicated. Best of luck to you, hope you will get your landing interview soon as well!

I messed up my question. Last time I saw there were two kiosks and two lines at the airport - one for citizens and I guess also permanent residents? and one for foreigners. That's what i meant, haha.

I'm already in Canada (inland application) and got my COPR a week ago. I'm waiting now for my PR card to arrive. When I travel outside of Canada and back in a few months, do I still have to go through immigration if I don't hold a Canadian passport? Or do I just show them my foreign passport +...

So I had my landing interview today and it went really smoothly! I got asked a few questions like if I committed any crimes, been ever refused an entry to Canada, when and where we first met with my partner and became common law etc. I was really nervous the whole time (for no reason, the...

How many photos did you end up needing for the landing interview? It says I should bring two, but I've heard that they apparently take only one? Anyone with recent experience?

Early July 2019. Was surprised as well!

Our timeline: DM: January 26th Landing interview: February 8 (yep, during extended hours on Saturday!)

Indeed it's not the same, I was just sharing out workaround.

I was out of status and my partner was still able to add me as an authorized person to his RBC bank account. They never asked me to prove my status in Canada. My name does not show on the bill, however we asked them to print out his banking information which included both our names and address...

Hey, my partner is responsible for all the bills, so my name wasn't on them either. However, I sent these: My Shaw - added as a household member, Mastercard - we have 2 credit cards in our names sharing the same account and address (extremely easy to do), a letter from his grandmother that owns...
