Soft a$$ + Hard a$$ = inbetween a$$ = our opinion of this topic must be right because it is the median reaction. :lol:

I'm good at maths.

:lol:

That digital tv transmission thing drives me crazy. My news station mentions it in every broadcast and has a ticker-tape warning running across the bottom of the screen constantly. "Countdown to TV digital transmission. Blah blah blah." I was so happy when the countdown was almost over..... and then they went and pushed the date back!! I was like.... "What do you mean you're not ready?!! You've had months and months and months to get ready!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bonk: Bunch of losers. :angry:

I believe, and maybe I'm wrong, that a citizenship card does not replace a passport? So, I'm not sure what your statement is trying to imply. Can't you get a passport with a citizenship card?

"...My hair's mostly wind,

My eyes filled with grit

My skin's white then brown

My lips chapped and split

I've lain on the prairie and heard grasses sigh

I've stared at the vast open bowl of the sky

I've seen all the castles and faces in clouds

My home is the prairie and for that I am proud…

If You're not from the Prairie, you can't know my soul

You don't know our blizzards; you've not fought our cold

You can't know my mind, nor ever my heart

Unless deep within you there's somehow a part…

A part of these things that I've said that I know,

The wind, sky and earth, the storms and the snow.

Best say that you have - and then we'll be one,

For we will have shared that same blazing sun." - David Bouchard

You have to have the actual certificate to get a passport. Not the card. At least that's how it was when I last had to show proof of citizenship. I think. :lol:

The citizenship card was only good as long as you had another form of ID. The passport doesn't require another form of ID. Plus I'm thinking the US is probably working towards stamping the Canadian passports as a way of tracking visits. You can't stamp a card, ergo its deemed inappropriate.

Gotchaaaa.

But if you have a card, you would/should have the cert. right? Therefore, you can get a passport. Therefore, Problem Solved again by hard a$$ and soft a$$.

Man, we make such a great team. :D

Oh, I see your point. :lol: Yes, you're right. I don't have a card. I only have a certificate. And a fancy schmancy letter congratulating me on becoming a citizen. :luv:

Is it? I just got my Cdn Citizenship Card about a month ago and the thing looks really low tech to me - about the only security feature I see is some raised numbers on the plastic laminate... It's Nothing like the PR Card - which was sooo beautiful and high tech. It has your photo in like 4 different places - real photo, raised/embossed mini-photo, hologram-like mini-photo, and b&w mini-photo. The citizenship card has just one regular photo where they even managed to photoshop off some of my hair! Not that I would trade my citizenship or anything, but ... I miss the PR card!
