    DECEMBER 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi there! 1. The GCKey account does not say anything, just ignore it. 2. They will not send you an email for Background completed (or Language, Prohibitions, or Physical Presence). You only see this on tracker. 3. Those "ghost updates" can show on the Updated date. Say you see that last time...

    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.

    review required

    My guess is that the junior officer cannot make a decision and requires the senior officer to do a thorough review of the case. I alao got a Review Required on my PR as well, and when I read the GCMS notes, I was because of my foreign experience. I then sent them a web form to explain and...

    Not necessarily! My friend in Vancouver also had that same response and his new date is 3 weeks from the old one, so I say, don't overthink it just yet!

    I received my OHIP with updated last name on Friday, and took my photos on Saturday! I will be applying for my passport in person tomorrow, and will pick it up when it's ready! So close now!

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi there! Absolutely! You will return on April 16, which is very close to the initial date. You can mention briefly that you are in your home country to care for your sick mother, that you'd like to go back to attend the ceremony but it would be a financial burden for you, etc. Then you clearly...

    Hi there, thank you hehe No, I don't change my name, I only take my husband's last name and I want my new passport with my new last name (It's actually my last name-my husband's last name) We got married last year after I submitted my application. I will need an ID with my new last name in...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Yes, I've seen it. And as people discuss this, they say that this might be an indicator of a non-routine application. I'm not sure about this. You can call IRCC and apply for the GCMS notes to see if there is any additional information for your case.

    Delayed - After I Changed online-Oath(zoom) to in-person Oath ( Vancouver )

    Now I know several cases around me, I don't think that they purposefully delay to give us a new date (just my thought, I don't have proof haha). My coworker requested to change from in-person to virtual and they responded after several hours. Her new date is 1-week after the old one! Keep in...
