Assuming: 1. Dad is a Canadian citizen by birth or naturalization, hence not subject to the second generation limit. The child is a Canadian citizen by descent 2. Mom is a French citizen, so the child is a French citizen by descent 3. Unsure what you mean by mom is French/US. If you're saying...

Got a ghost update 2 weeks ago, none today. Not too sure what it means, whether it's a system update or not. Still waiting on the LPP

Unfortunately, no, it's still "in process". Like ATKK_H, I also checked with IRCC, and I was told that everything is in order. Is there anything I can do at this point?

You can apply for it from outside of Canada. I had done it. IRCC accepted and processed my application. Keep in mind that you'll need to maintain your residency obligation as a PR going forward until the oath. You'll also need to take the oath in Canada. However, you may take the citizenship...

I made a similar mistake. Best to email that office and say you realised you made a mistake, and say you'd like to withdraw. You need to print out this form and sign it. Then send it back to the office. https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/citizen/cit0027e.pdf...

I've been waiting since 2019, I'm beyond very disheartened...

Should I be concerned? My paper application hasn't moved at all after BG check completion, no ghost update or whatsoever. I requested an ATIP more than 30 days ago and still haven't received it

Do they actually respond? I emailed them before and I got an automated email telling me not to email them again, and they will not respond at all. I was told my file was transferred to Ottawa, and I haven't seen any movement at all...

You can put in your actual US address. I'll suggest being truthful. I used my US address.

You do not need to send your citizenship application from Canada. You can send it anywhere in the world. The problem is filling out the physical presence calculator form, where the last eligbility date (i.e. the day you sign your application) will be inaccurate because you're still outside of...

I had the same situation as you, I traveled internationally and extensively. What makes it worse is that CBSA doesn't routinely stamp my US passport, and obviously, my Nexus card. The way to keep your records is maintain a travel journal per IRCC's website, which I did and supplemented it with...

It's usually the closest local processing office to you. However, CIC could transfer your file to another office to process it more efficiently. For example, if GTA local offices have tons of backlog, CIC can route your application to another office to process. There are 3 ways to find out which...

You can leave Canada after you mailed your application: https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 Your PR status has to remain valid until you take the oath. In other words, you must maintain your residency obligation until you become a citizen. Although you can...

You should request from both CBP and CBSA. You should use the online physical presence calculator if possible. If not, you can use the CIT 0407 form to calculate and attach a Word or Excel printout
