Hi All, had a question related to citizenship test. I will be travelling around december, just in case there is a Test invite, can it be taken from different country(other than Canada)?

Yes, you will need to let them know, but taking the test outside of Canada is allowed, I've seen people doing that!

For the folks who are claiming time on work permit prior to PR for physical presence , did you guys submit any additional documents like stamps in passport or travel tickets or boarding passes or work permit or a letter of explanation ?

Work permit days does not require any proof submission. It's properly recorded.

Thanks, heard about some folks getting their application returned for the reason that their time prior to PR couldn’t be established so just wanted to confirm. Ideally, IRCC can get all the details from CBSA so they should require any proof or documents so not sure why some folks are seeing their applications returned….

I think it is gonna be in the week of September 29th and not before. They are still working on the applications of July 22nd and if everything is very quick they can finish july applications by Friday 26th September in the best-case scenario. I never thought receiving an AOR would be that slow

Me too, to be honest, looking back some people got AOR in 1 day and some got on avg in 1-2 weeks.

Nowadays it’s like back in 2021 post covid, it’s so bad

That mostly happens for Visitor visa days if you claim it.

most likely due to layoff in IRCC https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ircc-immigration-citizenship-canada-job-cuts-1.7436881
