Thank you, I don't even recall that I have something like this!

"stamped the wrong year during my entry back to Canada." Just highlighting. As the officer made a mistake in my driving license and the other officer made a mistake in my OHIP. The explanation is always "we are human"

Yes, but their human mistake could have caused so much issue for me coz it showed I was out of Canada for 1 year instead of 1 week

Yep! I thought they lost my application! but it's all about what is your original citizenship I guess!

Wow that must be a big relief! After 3 months +!

Congrats!!!

Hello Guys, My application is in Process since November but i am moving to another province. Do you think it is wise to go for a change of address at this time knowing the delays or just wait and be travelling back and forth for test and oath?

COPR is needed even after becoming a citizen. We need it to retire and collect pension. It's the most important document that we will ever get in our immigration career.

I don't think I have ever received that. But when I went for the PR interview I got a one page doc that says I am a permanent resident and the officer added a circle to highlight my SIN. Could it be this one?

Would kinda depend on the province you plan to move to- You never know, the processing might be faster there. Although I do feel that if you are moving, you should tell them anyway!

It's the paper they give you at the border or airport when you land as a PR for the first time. Do you have any record of landing ?

COPR looks like this

Hi, the interview was together? I mean you and your wife at the same time?

Yes, we filed our application together and the interview was together.

I am moving from Alberta to Ontario

Interesting! When it comes to fast processing, AB seems to be the place to live.

Congrats, how hard the exam was? And is reading the book 2 times enough to pass the exam easily ?!

I would say the exam is easy if you understood the contents of the book. Do not just try to memorize but understand the chapters. Doing online quizzes helped me a lot as well.

The first document they will check before you start the test will be the COPR and your PR card. That is the landing paper you were given when you became a PR. One of the required documents too when you applied for citizenship.

I think the fast processing depends upon how simple the application. Simple in the sense of stay in Canada I guess.
