Hi. Does anyone here know how to follow up on a FOIA request for US? I sent a request in mid Sep. and the status show that it should have been assigned to someone by end of Oct. but it is not. I wonder if we can contact them and how long on average such a request would take?

I called IRCC today, they confirmed no PCC is needed for same day commutes to USA if you are working there
Hi Gillmd,
That's good to know! I sent my app in on October 4, and got my AOR last week. I had second thoughts the week after I sent my app, as I had a couple hundred day trips to the US (Windsor to Detroit) as we have an office there that I would attend meetings at, and my son lives only an hour away from me, so I would visit him as well.

I used the webform to inform IRCC that I had obtained a FBI clearance (through a channeler, took only a few hours with electronic fingerprints), and I uploaded the document Friday. So if they don't count day trips, then I should be fine, but at least they have my clearance if they wanted. And I clarified it with them.

Interesting. In that case i don't know why you can't get i94 history.
As suggested https://i94.cbp.dhs.gov/I94/#/home is the link I used. Do I just enter my passport details and it pulls the travel history(entry /exit dates) and I print? or It's more to get the I94 . I can pull my current and past I94 here but not travel history in terms of dates? Is there a different procedure? Any thoughts . Unable to reach CBP by phone so far. Will appreciate any input. Thanks again

Great . Good to know that, thanks for sharing your experience. It helps. Were you sure about your travel entry /exits dates to USA, I am trying to find how can I get them from cbp any thoughts?

Hi Spyfy
Thanks again for this great initiative.

I have a question on 12 (b) for now and may have more in future :).

"To be eligible for citizenship, applicants are required to meet their tax filing obligations under the Income Tax Act for the appropriate relevant period: Three of the taxation years that fall fully or partially within the five years immediately before the date of application." --------What if I filed the tax but that was not required according to Income Tax Act. To be more clearly asking my question....I am applying on 2019 and have filled taxes for 2018, 2017 & 2016. Out of those years, 2016 filing was not required as per Income Tax Act. Can it be a reason they might return my application?

Thanks
SHSajib

I'm a US citizen, so I had no I-94 to look up, which is quick (my wife's for example).

I had to do a FOIA request, and it took them forever. I submitted in March, it was assigned in April, but I didn't receive my records until September. I mainly did it to double check my paper records: I kept a small notebook with all my entries and exits, and the purpose of the trip.

Honest mistake..no one is trying to confuse anyone :)
Check the October 2017 group. Member MAZCAR reached out to Terryib and verified that the user made a mistake. They thought having their AOR visible in ecas was same as in process.
