Hi Ross, thank you for your comment. These are some valid points - I would also recommend to travel with passport as a precautionary measure. Sometimes Nexus lanes might be closed or you can be asked to provide additional information. As for kiosks, it all depends on the airport and individual case. When we traveled together, one of us came through the kiosk with no issues and another was asked to go to the officer. It happens🤷🏼 but in any case, we were never asked to join the main line - they had us go to the next available officer right away. Can you please share which airport had issues with kiosks at arrival?

Hi Serge. If they are immigrants themselves, they should have their UCI on one of the immigration forms (PR or Citizenship application) - anytime they interacted with IRCC for their own application. If they don’t have UCI, that shouldn’t be a problem. Just leave this field blank for them. Are you planning to apply before the deadline on October?

@@natashtepa Thank you for your response! I got my PR and citizenship many years ago back in 2005 and no longer have any records. And yes, we are trying to apply before the end of October deadline.

Hi there. Thank you for watching😃 As I recall, we used one card for two travellers on the ferry and didn’t have to tap out. You should consider what type of pass you have on your card. Ours was just money loaded and we used it for several people in the group. If you have a timed unlimited pass, like 1 Day unlimited or 7 Day unlimited, then you should use separate cards per person. Hope this helps:) Are you planning to do a day trip to Adalar or stay overnight?

@@natashtepa thanks for the reply 😊 we are also planning to have the card where we can top up money and use it for travel. We are planning to have a day trip from the main island. Thanks again for the lovely video. Cant wait to visit the area!

Thank you!😃🤗 Are you planning to apply for Nexus?

They would either count the one you submitted during CUAET application, or will ask for additional one. I know a case when PR application was submitted and then the email came asking to provide biometrics again. Nothing wrong or bad in that, they just sometimes ask for additional information. In this case they will provide you instruction in when and where to submit it. How long ago did you apply for PR through this program?

@@natashtepa сьогодні. Зібрала всі доки, а потім зіткнулась з біометрією. Я натиснула і сплатила. Тепер чекати просто? Не сподобалось, що у разі відмови мені повенуть фігу з моїх грошей я не була впевнена, вони написали що можливо їм потрвбні знову мої відбитки. Чи маю яправо виїзжати з Канади на цей період?

Thank you😊 we hope your client can enjoy Bermuda in its fullest. What time of year are they planning to go?

Hi there! Even though you are the only one applying, they do ask you to provide the information about you close family members like parents and children. Have you already gone through that step in the online form?

Great, congrats! How long did it take to arrive?

Almost 7 months process. I applied enf of January 2024.

Hi there! I think they were having a backlog in the beginning of the program and are only now processing those who applied in the first month (October-November). I know a person who received an approval this week (they applied in November). I suggest you to wait and keep track of your email notifications (including spam folder) for messages from IRCC. They sometimes might ask you to provide additional documents, so it’s important to check for those type of messages. Have you received any communication from IRCC?

@@natashtepa Thank you yes I only received one email from IRCC in February the day that I submitted my application after that I had no notification from them I guess I will be keep on waiting for any new updates. Thank you

@@sergiiboikov6323 yes, it’s usually a waiting game. I understand it can be nervewracking and frustrating. Based on the example above, it looks like it takes them around 9 month to get through processing. Good luck and let us know if you have any questions!

@@natashtepa and one more question I can’t find my application number am I gonna get it when they will approve my application or I did something wrong? Thank you

@@sergiiboikov6323 your application number should be in the correspondence you have with IRCC. If you have received any letters from them, it will be noted in the top right corner of the pdf document. You may also try to look it up using your UCI (unique client identifier). In any case, you will be able to view your application number once you receive any type of email from IRCC. Did you receive anything from them since you applied?

Hi there! Thank you for watching, we’re happy you found our video interesting😊 As for the neighbourhood with best offerings, we didn’t aim to put just one place on the pedestal - we were hoping to spark the interest to learn more about each one we mentioned and pick one that suits your needs better. It is so hard to pick just one, because all of them have their own unique charm. Next time we visit, I would be curious to explore Coyoacam more. What about you? Which area sparked the most interest in you?

Legally you’re eligible to apply, it would be your purpose for this card? It mostly makes sense for people who frequently travel between Canada and USA

@natashtepa i intend to go to the usa and travel the states, but dont want to go through the excessive dull security process everytime, I wanna be treated like a normal human lol

@@izziiebabee​​⁠if you’re mostly thinking of benefits for US specific travels, you could still use Nexus program. Just make sure you’ll be available for an interview, which needs to be scheduled in one of the enrolment center. Which means your first trip to USA would still be through a regular line. Are you planning to apply this year?

@@natashtepa Yeah i'm just worried that they will see that i've never even been to canada yet so they can't really check my records or? haha

@@izziiebabeeit is a possibility. I would assume they will determine your eligibility when you submit your online application, way before you do the interview. So you will know:) if they determine as eligible, they will invite you for the interview, if not - they will simply not approve your application🤷🏼 These days the decisions are made within couple of months. By the way, the application fee will increase in October, so if you’re considering to apply, I suggest you do it before October 1st

Hi there. I know of people who applied early in the first weeks of the program and have been ask for biometrics. The processing takes longer, there is a backlog. As long as you applied, you have to wait for updates which usually come through email. It may be a good idea to apply for extension of work permit, but not necessary. You mom already has implied status because she applied for PR. Regarding processing times and expectations, there are no certain expected timelines as this program is pretty unique and just started last year. Hope this answers your questions! Let us know if you have any more inquiries:)

Last day of application is October 22, 2024. It is a limited program and only lasts for one year. In order to be eligible for this program, you parents need to have Canadian visa and physically be in Canada during application. Once they apply, they are allowed to go outside the country, as long as they have eligible documents to come back (like visitor visa). They would also have to be in Canada once PR is approved. The documents can be translated in Ukrainian consulate or by official notary/translator. Are you a Canadian citizen or permanent resident? Are they going to be applying having you as their Canadian relative?

@@natashtepa Дякую за відповідь. За батьків думаю на майбутнє. Умене хлопець громадянин Канаді. Планую податись через нього. Начебто все зробила по документам. Чекаю тільки на чек рекордс та переклад свідоцтва не знала де зробити. чи буває таке, що ти все оплатив, а тобі відмовили🤔?

@@user-pi9wl3ox6v in most cases your application won't be rejected right away - if there's anything missing, you will be notified and asked to provide additional documents. In terms of using this particular program - pathway for Ukrainians for PR - it has an end date, which is October 22d, 2024, which is only 2 months away. So make sure to apply before this date. Also, if you are panning to apply through your boyfriend, make sure you can prove that you are in common-law status, otherwise you won't be eligible. As for your parents, since you are their only tie to Canada and you don't have PR yet, they won't be able to apply through this particular program. Once you get your PR, you can start looking into family reunion programs, which are sponsorship programs for family members. Let me know if you have any more questions, we'll try to help:)

@@natashtepa Thanks)))

Hi there! Thank you for watching, glad you found it helpful:) Based on how this document is built, and by the notes on government of Canada website, this needs to be filled out for the main applicant. Are your parents currently in Canada?

Last year Uganda was on the list of eligible countries, so you have a chance to apply! The application process starts in October and application window only lasts for about a month. Keep an eye on the news and subscribe to our channel to receive the latest updates:)

@@natashtepar

Hi there. Statutory declaration is a document they confirms your relationship to Canadian citizen or permanent resident. It’s a two page document that needs to be filled out and signed by your Canadian relative and then stamped by an authorized Canadian representative, like a notary. Your relative will need to bring it to the notary for signing and stamping. Do you have a relative that is Canadian resident or citizen?

You are very welcome!😊 are you planning to apply this year?

Hi there. If you are going through a US land border crossing enrolment centre, they have combined interviews. So you would only have to go to one location, same as we did for our interview. You can also double check and call the specific enrolment centre you sign up for. Do you already know where you will be taking your interview?

Detroit. Thanks for the confirmation. Will call them and find out.

Yes, interviews can sometimes be nerve wracking. What exactly sounds scary to you?)

I’m glad we could help!😊 Have you already applied? What was the most difficult part of your application?

These are all great museums for sure! We could’t possible visit all of them during our stay in CDMX, especially considering that some estimate Mexico City to have the most amount of museums than any other city. Which ones are your absolute favourites? What TOP-5 would you recommend us visit next time?

@@natashtepa son casi 200 museos y hay varias bibliotecas, la México de la Ciudadela, la Vasconcelos, la central de C.U. MUCHOS SON GRATIS EN DOMINGO. HAGAN UN TOUR 😎😎 EN LA BASÍLICA DE GUADALUPE HAY UN MUSEO MUY BUENO, EL MUSEO DEL VIRREINATO O LA PINACOTECA DE LA EXPROFESA.

@@natashtepa 1.- Museo del Virreinato 2.- El Centró Nacional de las Artes (Cenart) 3.- Museo de las Culturas del Mundo. 4.- Museo Rufino Tamayo 5.- La zona de museos de Ciudad Universitaria que son: Universum, El pabellón de la biodiversidad y el Muac.

@@urielcervantes-on3st amazing! By the way, Biblioteca Vasconselos is one of my favourite buildings in Mexico City! We mention it in our other video about overlooked museums in CDMX. Consider watching it as well and let us know what you think:)

Hi there! That’s a really good question! It can be tricky with the countries or territories that changed the name or jurisdiction. But in your case, I think you provided all information to the best of your knowledge. If your husband only has Canadian citizenship now, and doesn’t have UK citizenship, you stated everything correctly. The officers might ask your husband about where he was born or whether he ever had other citizenships - in this case it would make sense to elaborate and tell them what you described here. The interview is more of a conversation rather than a test of your application knowledge:) so answer the questions they ask calmly, be concise, don’t dive too deep into explanations - just a “question-answer” format. Let us know how it goes! Good luck!

Hi there. If there’s no relatives with Canadian citizenship or PR, you won’t be able to apply through this particular program. I would recommend looking into Express Entry - once you have worked in Canada for 1 year, you should be eligible to apply through Canadian Experience worker. Are you familiar with this program?

That’s correct. Someone already commented about this error. It is, of course, the work of Pedro Ramirez Válazquez

You should have an invitation in your account, where you applied on the portal. You may also try accessing through Trusted Traveler Program website - there will be a directory called “Interview”->”Find and Enrolment Centre”. Let us know how it goes:)

We do mention that you are required to bring all your passports with you. Moreover, passport is always required when crossing the border. So naturally, you would need to have it with when you attend an interview as it is conducted in the United States. Did you manage to reschedule your interview?

@@natashtepa I was able to get in a couple of weeks later by selecting Reschedule the Interview in the Nexus portal, and completed the US portion of the interview a few months ago. Hope to be able to use the card soon!

@@TomJones-wi4nh Happy to hear you managed to get through with the interview! Let us know how long it’s going to take for you to get the card

That is really quick! Good for you:) it looks like they have finally managed to get through the Covid backlog and are now processing applications in a timely manner. Make sure to bring all your required documents with you. And let us know how the interview goes;)

Good to hear you had such a smooth process! Was the interview scheduling easy as well? Did they have enough openings?

@@natashtepa yes! Interview scheduling was easy. Earliest date was August 6th but we decided to take the 8th instead since it’s our anniversary 🙂. So it would be a good day trip to the US that day!

@@EPICWILDETAILING what a nice way to celebrate your anniversary🥰 have a great trip!

It took you less than a month from application to approval? That’s a really fast turnaround! Well done🙌🏻😃

@@natashtepa yes! 3 weeks from the application to the conditional approval. It was for both of us. So i dont think it was a random conditional approval or if my credit card had to do something about it.

@@EPICWILDETAILING that’s great! I’m glad to hear they managed to work through their backlog and are not delaying applications anymore🙌🏻

That’s where we did ours! And yes, the location is weirdly placed, it’s easy to miss the turn😬 so make sure to come with extra time just in case. And good luck! Let us know how it goes;)

@@natashtepaApproved! Very easy. Asked me why I wanted it (For Travel in the US) and then told me the rules and that’s basically it. Didn’t even have to talk to the Canadian Officer.

Hi there. You can only apply through your child when they are at least 18 years old. Otherwise, I suggest you look into other immigration options like Express Entry.

Yes, you can do that with any destination. On Departure, just go to Nexus lane for security check. And on Arrival, you could go through eGates or Nexus lane.

Hi there. If you are doing a land border interview, it’s all going to be in one place. For documents, make sure to take your passports and another ID. Passport will also serve as your proof of citizenship, so no need for additional citizenship document. You’ll also need proof of your residency, like drivers license. You may also check Nexus official site in case you need to bring any additional documents. Good luck with the interview, and let us know how it goes;)

Hi there. Some museums have dubbed English descriptions, some don’t. We used google translate app - it has a camera feature that translate the text live. It was very helpful in such situations:) In terms of best time to visit, I think this city is great anytime of the year! It may get pretty hot in the summer months. December and January can be colder, so do take sweaters and long pants. And take into account that it can be colder inside as they don’t have central heating and windows are fairly thin. I can say that end of February-March was the most comfortable weather wise. It was warm enough but not too hot. And the Jacaranda trees were in bloom - very special sight🤩 When are you planning to go?

@natashtepa Honestly, I'm not sure. I've been watching videos about CDMX for a while but have not decided when the best time to visit is. I'm also keen on knowing if there are other places close to CDMX worth visiting like Taxco? Also, I'm based in MENA, so it will take around 14 hours to reach CDMX😐

Hi there. Did you already get your interview invitation? If not, you may try to edit your application with you new residence address. If this can’t be done, you should let the officer know at the interview that you address has changed. It’s not an uncommon practice, sometimes the application time takes several months (or in our case years due to Covid), and it’s natural that some original information you provided in your application may change, like travel history, work, or residency. Let us know how it goes, and good luck!

@@natashtepa I received the interview invitation.

@@ashraj3302 as mentioned in the previous comment, you may address this during the interview itself. There’s nothing wrong with moving to a different location, life happens and I’m sure the officers will understand it:) good luck! And let us know how it goes;)

Hi there. We are here for information only and to share are own experience. We don’t provide private consultations as we are not lawyers. I suggest you reach out to qualified immigration lawyers for any questions related to this program

It’s a fine line. You have to be in Canada at the time of application for PR and at the time of your approval for PR. The “in between” period technically allows for travel outside of Canada (if you have proper document that allow you to enter Canada), but generally it is recommended to stay in Canada while you wait for your application to be approved.

@@natashtepaThank you very much, that's good, but actually I don't see any rule that person need to be present in Canada right now, there questions like where do you live right now, and other , and also where do you plan to live in Canada, How do you think ? or I missed something? I will be thankful for the answer ))

@@comanchmax this is just a recommendation. Legally you are allowed to leave Canada and come back as long as you have valid documents to do so (entry visa, valid passport etc)

Not just citizenship - relatives who have permanent residence are eligible too. Are you applying through this program?

@@natashtepa у нас нет родственников с перманентом, мы не можем податься

@@T_O_M_A_T in that case we suggest you look into other pathways for immigration, like Express Entry. You can check out our earlier video with this program’s overview called How to Move to Canada: czcams.com/video/Nymm9P44dbI/video.htmlsi=8wyj0Wtk4G7Ro7BJ

@@natashtepa об этой программе знают все, но не все могут расчитывать на перманент даже если будет соблюдать все условия доя его получения. Это лотерея простыми словами. 🙁

It depends where you plan to take it. If you schedule at land border Enrolment Centre, you could have a joint interview. You can also have split interview. Once you book your first part of the interview, the other one will be automatically booked for you in the other side of the border on the same day. There’s a third option, if you choose to have your interview in a Canadian airport. You’ll have your Canadian interview scheduled in the airport enrolment centre, and then the US part will be done during your next flight to the US - it will take place in a pre-clearance location of a Canadian airport of your departure. Do you already know where you want to have your interview?

@@natashtepa thank you so much for the response I have scheduled usa side Niagara EC which I think will take care of both sides at the same time. Im scheduled tomorrow. I have a few doubts which I cant share here publicly. How can I get on a call with you ? Do you have instagram?

@@iashaikh20 we don’t provide private consultations - are videos are information only and we just share our experience with something we’ve done ourselves. All you have to do for your interview is be honest and answer the questions they ask you as directly and concise as possible. Good luck on the interview! Let us know how it goes:)

@@natashtepa hi.. interview went well. Got approved in no time. Did it at Rainbow Bridge crossing Niagara border - whirlpool. Now am i correct to conclude this card has tsa precheck and global entry and can also be used in sentri lanes ?

@@iashaikh20 ​​⁠​​⁠congratulation! How much time did the interview take? And to answer your questions, yes, TSA pre-check, Global Entry and SENTRI lanes can be used. Make sure to input you traveler number during your flight check-in - this needs to be done in order to use Nexus lines in the airports.

Antonio Toledo?? Vaya que mala información!!?

Thank you, we glad you liked our video! And thanks for catching our error - of course it was Pedro Ramirez Vasquez!🙈 What other buildings by this architect in CDMX do you know of? Any notable ones you’d recommend visiting?

You’re welcome🙂 are you planning to get your nexus card?

Thank you for sharing your experience! It looks like you had a joint interview in one enrolment center. How long did you have to wait for available interview slots at this location?

Hi there! You may apply as a parent of Canadian citizen when they turn 18. Before that, you might want to look into other immigration programs like Express Entry.

Hi there! When you say “international passport”, I assume you mean your Ukrainian passport meant for travel (not national passport)? If so, then yes - this is the document you need to provide in a travel section. Not national passport. National passport may be provided in a document section, but it is not mandatory. If you decide to add it, it needs to be translated
