    DECEMBER 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    I used my OHIP (Ontario Health Card). I asked them if I could use the temporary one (the paper one) and they said yes, in case I needed it urgently; otherwise, I would need to show them the official, laminated OHIP card.

    review required

    No, it will not be updated on tracker. It will only show on your GCMS notes. On tracker, Eligibility will show Not Started or In Progress. In my case, they did not ask me to send any documents, I proactively sent them. Hope this helps.
