May 2026 - Citizenship Applications Time Line
- Thread starter ABCAN2023
- Start date
This is just my 2 cents, but the follow-up is likely tied to your spouse's physical presence days, only 3 days above the 1095-day minimum. Any travel after submitting brings that closer to the edge, so IRCC probably wants it confirmed before moving forward. Your 1150 days should be fine on its own, it's just riding along since this is a joint application. Should all be okay as long as the absence dates you entered match your passport/CBSA records exactly.
Still studying. Seems like there’s nothing I can do at the moment since I already resubmitted the document this week. If IRCC returns it again, I guess I’ll have to submit an official transcript.
Ya he is right, it wont count
Just do the IELTS General Training. That would count if you dont have diploma or transcript

Yes, IELTS General does qualify as language proof

I think you’ll find the answer on the following page：
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...adian-citizen/eligibility/language-proof.html
Again, what I said in #99 is that IRCC’s wording says “send a copy of proof that you completed or are attending a program with your application” which does not necessarily mean “completed in good standing.” This is the opposite of what he said: “You’ve completed such a program in good standing.”
BTW, before you leave a comment, just make sure you read and understand it properly first. Otherwise, sarcastic comments only make you look like you don’t understand what you’re reading.

Fingerprint Request- 17th of August 2026(REQUEST FOR FINGERPRINTS FOR: >>>>>>>>You are receiving this letter because your fingerprints are required to continue processing your
application for Canadian citizenship.
After reviewing the biographical information on your application form, there are questions in your case
with regard to sections 21 and/or 22 of the Citizenship Act, explained further on the second page of this
letter.
To proceed with your application, you must have your fingerprints taken within thirty (30) days of
the date of this letter.
Fingerprinting procedure
Fingerprints must be taken electronically by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), local police, or
an accredited private fingerprint agency. For a list of RCMP accredited digital fingerprinting agencies,
please see our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/citizenship/fingerprint.asp.
Please note:
• If the RCMP sends the fingerprint results directly to you, forward them to this office as soon as
possible so that we can resume processing your application.
• Please contact the agency you are planning to visit to find out the current fee.
1. Bring the following information with you to get your fingerprints taken:
this letter, so that your application number and the address of the citizenship office
requesting your fingerprints are noted on the fingerprint form;
your proof of permanent resident status - Record of Landing (IMM1000) or Confirmation
of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688);
your Permanent Resident Card (if you have ever received one);
at least two (2) pieces of valid identification, one of which contains your photo and
signature;
the appropriate fees.
2. Get your fingerprints taken electronically (not by ink)
• Ensure that your application number is included on the fingerprint form.
CIT 0421 (12-2016) E GCMS (DISPONIBLE EN FRANÇAIS - CIT 0421 F)
3. What happens next:
• The agency sends the fingerprint form directly to the RCMP and advises the appropriate
citizenship office that the fingerprints have been forwarded.
• Once your fingerprints are received by the RCMP, the results are sent to the citizenship office
and processing of your application continues.
• Once your file has been finalized, no copy of your fingerprints is retained by either the
RCMP or Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
The requirement to provide additional information or evidence when requested can be found in section
23.1 of the Citizenship Act.
It is important to be aware that the Citizenship Act contains provisions that treat an application as
abandoned if you do not contact IRCC with a reasonable explanation for not having your fingerprints
taken within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter. It is therefore very important that you contact IRCC if
you cannot have your fingerprints taken within thirty (30) days of the date of this letter.

Before u leave a comment, ur the one that should understand first. I thought u said IELTS does not quality, simple as that. Dont make anything bigger then it needs to be. U could have replied “i am referencing something else not regarding to IELTS”
IELTS does qualify, thats all i meant.
Interesting. You’re the one who’s making this a bigger deal than it needs to be. Did I mention anything about IELTS in #99?
