"can you share the exp when they returned to Canada?" They entered by car from the US. Customs officer did not even look at their PR cards.

Can you still apply if your card has expired, as long as you have stayed for three years?

Is it true that as long as you don't live out of Canada for more than three years of the five, you can let your PR card expire, and still can apply for citizenship if you live in Canada for 3 years? My sister's ex-husband and son just returned to Canada and luckily for them they had no...

ginnu and triple citizen, If he enters Canada successfully, can he then stay in Canada for two years and re-apply for the PR card? Seems like people could renew the PR cards after they expire. Thanks.

My sister's ex-husband and son's PR card will be expiring in November this year. They left Canada and went back to his home country right after they received their new PR cards in 2003, and they have never been back to Canada at all. He is planning to go to Canada to renew his and his son's PR...

I was not a US resident when I married my husband. If I remember correctly, I only needed to show my passport to the clerk at city hall in order to get a marriage license. We didn't need to make an appointment to get married in front of a judge. They had judges at the city hall to marry...

When I went to my ceremony, some people brought kids with them, few were small kids, there was even a baby there. The judge even said that it would be okay if the little ones made noises.

yes Chicago.

brb2, I have read that if you apply for a passport at the ceremony, the officer would make a note on your application that he/she has seen your naturalization paper, and that you wouldn't need to submit it with the application. I wish I could have done that, but they didn't accept passport...

I applied in March, and became a US citizen in July. 3/15/07 - Priority Date (NSC-Chicago) 3/30/07 - Fingerprint notice 4/19/07 - Fingerprint appointment 5/7/07 - Interview Notice 6/21/07 - Interview Date 7/2/07 - Oath letter received 7/12/07 - Oath Ceremony

If you are a US citizen, your husband could apply three years of PR minus 90 days. If I were you, I would apply in the end of September. Some posters said that the officer did count the number of days during the interview to make sure they didn't apply too early. Print his name just like it...

Not bad at all.

ff1972, A friend of mine just received her passport last month. It took almost 17 weeks to receive!
