November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[armoured]

IRCC rep said this is a route I can take but in the email he sent, one of the points is "Reason why application should be processed separately". I am originally from India; I don't have to travel yet but may have to travel next year to a country where Canadians can travel visa-free.

I'd just write 'travel plans' and not go into details. The reason they ask for a reason? Probably because there's a space in the form for it.

You have to be a PR and maintain your RO until you take the oath. Same thing with your prohibitions, etc. The clock doesn't stop.

Facepalm. You’re right. I was thinking of the 1095 days thing and that the application is locked in on that front. I was super in compliance with my RO and didn’t leave Canada during the application so I was getting the two mixed up. Mea culpa.

That being said, while some time as a TR counts towards the 1095 days, I find it unlikely that there are many people who make the 1095 days thing cutoff and then are in danger of not making 730 days as a PR and maintaining that during the application processing time.

It's true. It should be a 'corner case', a situation that in practice is quite rare.*

And that's why I think that focussing on the 'accompanying spouse' PR rules should be way down the list of probabilities and priorities.

In all these scenarios it doesn't apply to those who remain in Canada (effectively), and only (mostly) to those who apply for citizenship from abroad or leave immediately - and remain there WHILE also having their citizenship application seriously delayed.

Better - if you're getting close - to return to Canada to remain in compliance with the RO.

*Rare but ... yes, it does happen. I read of one. It sounded most unpleasant.

Yes, it'll be the oath instructions email. It's usually after the tracker is updated, and keep in mind one part of their system (the tracker) has no actual 'knowledge' that the email has been sent.

You'll get the invitation email in plenty of time.

Need help we got oath notification that an email is coming with details of ceremony on 17 August but no email is received , also BG and Prohibition didn't turn green, we asked they say its system issue but its completed? any idea

Just wait. All likely fine. YOu'll get the email in due course.

I'm probably mostly done with this thread, the October thread, and this board/site in general. If anyone needs me in the future, feel free to send me a DM and I should get an email.

However, now my wife and I are both citizens after doing PR many years ago, I have a passport, and her application is in progress.

It's been good going through all of this with you all, and I wish you good luck in your life adventures.

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
