Expired Canadian Passport with old name Hi All, I've been a Canadian citizen for quite some time now. My Canadian passport expired over two years ago. I became a U.S citizen a few months ago. While becoming a U.S citizen I changed my name. Now here is the question. When I drive to...

Got my NC Hi Guys, Just to let you know, I got my NC mid last week. I have a question though. If I choose to apply for the passport card, do I need to send in my NC again? Also How much will it cost me? Tks in advance for your replies.

Apologies and thank you Hi Triple, Sorry for not starting my own thread and thank you for your reply. Not that I doubt your reply but do you have a reliable government link that verifies if I leave in less than a year it is OK! Tks.

Moving out of the US Hi guys, I'm not sure if this is the thread I should post this question, but no harm in asking you gurus. I became a US citizen less than a month ago. I plan to go to Canada and live there for a few years as I am a Canadian citizen also. Will this be grounds to...

Got it! Hi Guys, I got my NC. As per to my inquiry with the national passport office an official at the regional office called me. I told her that I was worried that my NC will be lost in the mail. She talked to her supervisor and told me that they will FedEx it. I received it yesterday...

Glad I found this thread Hi Guys, I'm in the same boat. I applied regular for passport only on 8/8/08 and got the passport on 8/22/08. Called the agency on 8/29/08 and they made an inquiry. Will keep you posted as to when I receive my NC. Will anyone know if I could change my address now...

Thanks for the detailed reply Hi Nimche, Thanks for your reply. I applied for my passport only (no card) on 8/8/08. I received it on 8/22/08 via priority mail, send date 8/21/08. I chose regular service, not expedite. So far including today (8/29/08) I haven't received my NC. I just...

Will do Hi USGC485, Tks for the prompt reply. Will check my mail today and tomorrow and call early next week. I did call them on 8/25/08 and 8/26/08. They told me to call a week later. I received my pp on 8/22/08 so I guess will give it about 10 days. What good will contacting the post...

Did you recwive you NC regular mail? Hi USGC485? Tks for the reply. Did you receive your NC in regular mail? Did you apply at a post office or agency? Also was it expedite? Pls let me. I'm a bit concern why I haven't received mine yet. Tks.

Did you get your NC? Hi GhantaBro, I see you got your passport recently. Did you receive your Naturalization certificate yet? If so when and did you receive it in the same envelope as the passport? Tks. P.S. I applied on 8/8/08 and received on 8/22/08 but no NC.

Did you get your naturalization certificate? Hi USGC485, Did you get your NC yet? I haven't. I applied for only my passport on 8/8/08 and received it on 8/22/08. I'm a bit worried about not receiving my NC. Anyone have any idea when to expect it. I'm from NYC. Tks.

Both citizenships Hi guys, Thanks for all the replies. I would like to maintain both citizenships. I also think (not sure though) it is better to be recognized as a Canadian when in Canada and as American when in the US. As such I think what Bobsmyth suggested is the way to go. Please...

How about Canada via land? Hi guys, What if I'm going to Canada via land? We don't (at least the last time I did I didn't) stop at the US immigration. Which passport I show to the Canadian customs, my US or Canadian passport when I enter Canada? I guess it is the Canadian passport. When...

Got it! Hi Guys, I applied for my passport book on 8/8/08 and got it on 8/22/08. I didn't get my Naturalization certificate though. Does anyone know if it is sent via priority mail and if I can track it? Please let me know. Tks.

Got it! Hi guys, Just to want to let all know that I got my passport book on 8/22/08. I applied for it on 8/8/08 (regular). I didn't apply for passport card. Anyhow I didn't received my Naturalization certificat and Name change document. I called the passport agency and was told that I'd...
