C-12 bill is another route. They apply for citizenship certicate, rather than citizenship grant

That’s bill C3. C12 allows ircc to mass cancel applications and cancel PRs

Ah yes! I am on vacation outside Canada, so system may have treated it as a suspicios login. I just had to reset my password and now it lets me login. Thanks.

Facing a similar issue. Were you using same device or a new device ? So just a password reset solved this?

We had created the application outside Canada and now back to Canada. SO using a new device in Canada - trying to login and keep getting the cannot login error. Also repeatedly getting blocked sign in emails. Even after clicking in the it is me link in that email, we cannot login.

Anyone faced this issue ? How did you solve this - pls help.
