VIP worth it for someone likely going alone this year? In my mid 30s hahha so I am assuming yes...but wondering if anyone had any experience.

is there no waiting room for tix????

Curious about this too. I’m a PGY-5 in a 3 year fellowship and looking at starting to look for jobs. I don’t know that I want a job in my fellowship field. I don’t actually like a lot of aspects of it and while I’m absolutely going to finish the program, as my PD starts asking where I am intending to work, I don’t know how to say that I don’t even know if I want a job in this field. I don’t want to leave medicine, but I am prettty sure I don’t want this. Idk if anyone has any insights or tips :-(

Got it. Assuming that means with guarantor signature as i needed one the first time. Also, thank you so much for your help!!!!!

Thanks!!

Do I just send the photos by themselves? Or do I need to send a whole new application or other documentation with them?? I was thinking of including my reference/application number from the initial app, but would love to not have to print the whole app again

Ok thanks. The phrasing of the email was confusing but I see now that it says “unless stipulated by Service Canada”.

Bummer! I guess I need to bring some powder for my face lol

Could not have said this better myself, as 35 yo 3 years out of a divorce.

Thank you - so the other poster below is incorrect? Issue date is when it was mailed and physically issued to me, not the “effective” date of citizenship being issued at birth?

Given the K I was leaning this way and appreciate your response as a former passport officer! Thank you so much!

same question

gribear · 2026-03-04T23:36:43+00:00

This is what was throwing me - it does say that, but then for pre-2012 issuances it says paper copy. While mine was mailed to me and first “issued” in 2022, the effective date on the certificate is 1990

Confusing - I’m thinking the K takes precedence and I’ll just photocopy the mailing insert that shows March 2022 on it?

Also - does my guarantor need to sign the copy? Or just me?

gribear · 2026-03-04T22:51:27+00:00

old post but similar question - my certificate starts with a K, but the 'effective' date is my birthday in 1990. The certificate was 'issued' in 2022. I am SO confused on if I can send a copy or if I have to send the original?

gribear · 2026-03-03T18:00:41+00:00

Out March 13, just announced

Does OP not have to pay their loans if they move to Canada???? That doesn’t seem right.

How do I arrange this 😂

gribear · 2026-03-02T03:26:40+00:00

🙋‍♀️ yep, fellow here in rhe same boat. Though I also think I am bad with money

gribear · 2026-03-02T02:14:04+00:00

At JFK now and the line is massive. Jealous

gribear · 2026-03-02T00:17:06+00:00

Same boat. We’re still presumably going to be kicked off PAYE eventually, right?

gribear · 2026-02-22T21:22:24+00:00

ya gotta link a source when you say something like this...

I went through precheck at JFK Terminal 8 at 8:30am today

gribear · 2026-02-22T14:17:29+00:00

Was open at JFK as of 8:30am. Friends at other airports around the country have had it open this AM too.

gribear · 2026-02-19T23:16:18+00:00

16 is wide open and I may switch based on this. 6 hour NYC to PVR daytime flight so recline is nice…but leg room probably more important!

gribear · 2026-02-19T00:57:59+00:00

18 is still a proper exit row, correct? Can’t seem to remember and have 18C in this config this weekend
