    Some websites say having naturalisation certificate is good enough for taking a ride into Canada side ( by walk, or car). Some say we need a passport for new citizen. Which is true? My trip is already planned but not sure if I should postpone the Oath or not go into Canada or not... I...

    Koolvik & all those interested. Although I had used AC21 for changing jobs at the time of I485, no question related to any job change came up at N400 inteview for me. Otherwise interview went very smooth just 7 minutes or so... Very methodical & organised. No extra chit chat that people...

    Multiple AC21 & AC21 after approval

    Hello I heard there maybe issues during naturalisation when AC21 has been used AFTER GC approval. Is this true? Doesn't it defeat the purpose of AC21 if we can't change jobs after GC approval. Also how come it doesn't affect if the employer were to let go rather than employee quitting...
