    Yeah, a 90 day buffer should be more than enough. Again, you can apply as soon as you reach 1,095 days and get your citizenship in a few months, no one knows :D Each case is different, so it’s really up to you how much buffer you want to leave. I also has another 2 week trip after I submitted...

    Sorry I'm replying because this is not accurate. You don't have to have lived in Canada 5 year before becoming PR. This is the requirement: You must have been physically in Canada for 3 years during your 5-year eligibility period, which means 5 years before the date you submit your application...

    I had a similar situation. I took 4 trips during my eligibility period (both pre-PR and PR years) and left a 2 week buffer before I submit my citizenship application. My application is taking longer than people I know who didn’t have any trips. I’ve also been invited for an interview, which...

    I totally get your frustration, My application is hitting 9 months in a few days too, and LPP is still in progress. Unfortunately, there’s not much we can do as long as it’s within processing time. I just keep telling myself this is my last application with IRCC, so hang in there! :D

    Not sure what type of note you've requested, mine was "application summary" and I received them about two weeks later. But anyway, I don’t think the notes will be very helpful for you at this point, since you’re just waiting to be scheduled for the oath.

    Thank you for sharing, and I'm glad it was a smooth process. They didn't check the old passport or anything?

    Mine was just regular vacations, each around 2 weeks. Are you also expecting an interview?

    I haven't received the instructions yet, I got to know about the interview when I checked my tracker. I believe they'll send the instruction email closer to the interview date. I had travelled 4 times during my eligibility period, so there is a possibility they want to take a look at my passports.

    I wanted to do the same in Feb, but I thought I’d get my oath by mid-Feb (based on other people’s timelines). Here I am in April, and my LPP hasn’t even started yet, so you never know, just go see your family and take a break from IRCC :D

    Hi, we have a very similar time line and progress, is your processing office Vancouver?

    Nowhere at all :D our GCMS notes are pretty much the same, except my LPP due dates are September 2026. I called IRCC about two weeks ago, and the agent said the LPP hasn’t started yet. I don’t think I’ll be getting any updates anytime soon.
