I need guidance regarding Citizenship application, is it better to submit individual application or combine for a family. I mean if we file for whole family, spouse and kids, and one member have issue with English or knowledge test. Is it delays for whole family.

I would file separately.

This way, if someone's application has to be returned for some reason it would not cause ALL to be returned.
One parent who is already eligible can apply with the kids, the delayed one can apply themselves later.

Hi, I have a question regarding citizenship ceremony. I saw in the CIC website that when family members apply together the citizenship certificates of minors under 14 years will be posted home. So would they not be expected to attend a citizenship ceremony?
