That's great! I am surprised Physical presence and Prohibitions already done for you. It hasn't been done for most August applicants yet!

Probably because we have been in Canada for over 20 years? I have already been a Canadian citizen for over 15 years, my husband finally agreed to apply when he turned into 55.

I received an email about the Citizenship Tracker but I could not open the link. Have anyone come across this?
It shows "403 ERROR".

Thanks!

I'm part of Nov's intake, but I want to attach a clarification cover letter. The agent over the phone couldn't find my application, how can I submit a webform in that case?
(I think the clarification is related to the background search, which seems to happen with the AOR step based on the shared timelines on this forum).

The agent can’t find your application because it hasn’t been assigned to an officer yet and is still in the queue (pre-AOR). And once you submit an IRCC application, you can’t modify it, no adding or removing documents or “attaching” a clarification to change what you filed. If something important is missing, IRCC will either return it as incomplete or request additional information later.

Hi everyone!
I have two questions related to my Canadian citizenship application if someone could help urgent

1. 183 days or more in a row rule- What if I stayed in a foreign country for more than 183 days in total, but not consecutively (e.g., 150 days in Amsterdam as I worked there, then out for 10 days to another EU country, then another 50 days back home in Amsterdam)? How should I answer the question about “183 days in a row”? I still have a PCC from that country so can I upload it in the optional documents section just in case?

2. Work Permit extension date unknown – how to handle?- I don’t remember when my Canadian WP extension was filed because my ex-employer applied on my behalf and I’m no longer in touch. Can I provide an LOE explaining this and use an approximate date based on when I filled out forms (I have those dates), even though I don’t know the exact submission date? It was likely within 2–3 weeks of that timeframe.
