Re: Applied for citizenship!

I sent mine in June/July, not expecting an AOR until maybe November and as above I suspect it will take something like 2 years to process. As far as I'm aware no tests have been carried out since...

Re: Implied visitor status?

The C20 has to be done through your company, I believe the gist of it is they have to show there is an excange and a Canadian doing something similar for the company in the UK. It's pretty similar to...

Re: Implied visitor status?

Thanks FL, I appreciate the advice and I know it's a bit of an unusual situation. I'll send off a postal change of status in a couple of weeks just to be on the safe side.
