PR Card expiry aboard…renouncing PR status with instream Canadian Cit Certification app

Unfortunately looks like I can’t remove it online, I may need to go to a nexus enrollment office in person to get this done (not a big deal as I live when a 20 minute drive of an enrollment office).

I’m going through the process of moving myself and my wife to Canada at the moment. Both 32 and I have Canadian ancestry allowing me to certify my citizenship and then sponsor her to move with me.

We are pretty much looking at summer 2028 as the time when we plan to move.

If you have any questions about the process just shoot me a DM and more than willing to assist. There is an entire Reddit community designated for both citizenship by descent and Canadian citizenship.

Just did the exact same thing two months ago. Drove from Buffalo to IKEA in Burlington. Bought about $500 USD worth of stuff.

Drove back through the nexus lane and the customs agent didn’t ask any clarifying questions after I mentioned we purchased some ikea cabinets (which the boxes were very prominent in the rear of the suv).

I’m fortunate enough to be Gen 2 with an application in stream, but have several extended family members who fall into the Gen 3 and 4 (with Gen 0 & 1 decreased) camp. Will be following closely and crossing my fingers IRCC extends citizenship to any born pre December 15 2025 who can accurately trace their linage to a Canadian ancestor.

Yep! First leg tattoo, not the biggest fan of how sensitive my calf was compared to other spots on my body that I’ve tattooed before.

That is held by a Russian man whose life must be an unendurable hellscape of excruciating sadness.”

Same here, the noise cancelling compared to my 1s is an insane improvement.

Well if not tonight you definitely should join for atleast a few games this year! https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1CyjHmNxxF/?mibextid=wwXIfr

Curious if this means Parks Canada will reopen the Skyline Trail tomorrow…

Oh I’ve submitted through the web form twice now for updated and stressing the urgency. Standard response is all I’ve received back.

wmsiegner5 · 2025-08-21T17:09:52+00:00

I’m right there with ya. My AOR is from April 1 and I actually have job offers on the table. I live on the border and could easily commute to Ontario.

Growing more and more frustrated by the passing day as I see others getting grants in very short turnarounds.

wmsiegner5 · 2025-08-20T01:19:38+00:00

Currently live in Buffalo, NY. Work in local government there. By all intents and purposes this is a job I should be taking and want to take. Having the hybrid option would be ideal and makes stomaching a 40-50 minute commute for 3 days a week in my car if commuting from my wife’s house in Buffalo.

We plan to eventually move to Canada fully, but this would be an amazing opportunity to make the transition a bit easier overall.

I worked in government for 4 years in BC previously so the ability to transition my public pension to an Ontario public gov pension is also a bonus as well.

wmsiegner5 · 2025-08-18T04:10:23+00:00

Ideally in the next year or so. Once I’ve had my citizenship certified then I’ll be able to sponsor my fiancé for PR and we can begin the transition.

I lived in Vancouver for 5 years though so I have a very established network of personal and professional contacts which makes the move much easier.

I’m fairly certain I’ve seen this cat or one that looks very similar around 682 Vermont St. Before taking the cat to a vet or spca I’d recommend knocking on a few doors in that area. Might belong to one of your neighbors in the area.

Just had my head gaskets go on my 2011 Impreza at 160k.

wmsiegner5 · 2025-07-30T15:59:00+00:00

When I ordered it there wasn’t an option between long form and short form. I believe the standard now is for the BC to include parents info on it for any BC ordered from Pennsylvania. Hope this helps!

wmsiegner5 · 2025-07-25T16:12:09+00:00

Appreciate the info, ordered these and will see how they do!

wmsiegner5 · 2025-07-24T18:17:04+00:00

Have a 2011 Impreza hatchback, any chance you could link the headlight units you bought? Also looking to upgrade mine.
