    We sent the email the first time without the initials and then the 2nd time with the initials on the same day. 2 separate signed forms in one email. Still nothing to this day.

    I have a couple of questions please. My mom and minor sibling also did the virtual ceremony and requested eCertificates on July 10, 2023. Mississauga office. We sent them the declaration forms same day. It is now July 13th, 2023 and the Oath has not been marked completed/closed on the online...

    During your 5-year eligibility period, did you have a valid temporary resident status(opens in new tab) before becoming a permanent resident?

    The physical presence calculator doesn't ask when your work permit expired. It asks you when was the last day that you were a work permit holder... In this case, your last day as a work permit holder was a day before becoming a PR. So it would be like this: Work permit end date: 19 May 2021 PR...

    Last name misspelled. Can it be fixed during the ceremony?

    Long story short. My mom's ceremony is coming up but IRCC incorrectly changed her last name. Can the clerks at the ceremony fix her last name and re-print the certificate? We don't want to send a webform and risk Oath cancellation or delays.

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    To be honest, the best solution here is to hire a lawyer and have the lawyer apply for a PRTD H&C as well as include an additional H&C request to waive the passport requirement for the PRTD application. When waving the valid passport requirement for PRTD, there are two options to get a...

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    You would have to double-check if Djibouti actually issues a document like that. However, you need to understand that once you get that document it may still not work out. You're risking $12,000 going down the drain. I don't know to be honest. I'm not too big of a fan of this. I would like you...

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    This is not a good idea. If you become a Djibouti citizen then you're no longer a refugee. Now that doesn't mean your PR status will be revoked immediately, it just means that if you were super lucky of getting your PRTD approved, the CBSA officer at the airport may issue an A44 report to IRCC...

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    I just realized that the PRTD is an actual counterfoil (visa sticker). This is why the PRTD requires a valid travel document. So in theory, if you did not supply a travel document and asked for an H&C to waive that requirement, you can in theory ask for an SJTD instead and if approved, instead...

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    Correct. It is mostly issued to refugees abroad through PSR (Private Sponsorship of Refugees) and other Refugee classes. I would say it is rarely issued in other situations. In this case, one can only try.

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    @armoured @scylla I think you guys are missing something here. A Canadian RTD or a Canadian Refugee Travel Document is a travel document issued by Canada to protected persons in Canada. You need to be present in Canada to obtain a Canadian RTD. You need to supply a PR card or a Notice of...

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    It's a nasty situation. You can either try applying for a PRTD regardless and it either gets approved or gets refused and have your PR status revoked. Or choose not to apply for a PRTD and wait years until you somehow can get a US visa.

    I left Canada as a minor out of my will and I do not meet the residency obligation

    I wish you all the best. This is such a tough case. There are multiple concerns here: IRCC does not accept any passport issued by Somalia. They are not valid for travel to Canada. This is very important as even if you try to issue one, it would be useless. Source. A valid Somalian passport...
