    Urgent - application refused at port of entry

    No. Sponsor did not withdraw. Immigration officer gave my friend two options: 1) withdraw application and let him in, or 2) they keep his passport and let him in, whilst they make an investigation. He opted to go with option 2. He just went back to the airport and speak to immigration...

    Urgent - application refused at port of entry

    Hello This question is for a friend of mine who had a COPR issued and came to do his landing last week. The immigration officer at Toronto Pearson said they can’t let him in because the application is refused. Apparently they requested for passport details and he didn’t respond. He explained...

    August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    and if they don't agree to expediate your oath, that's not a reason to withdraw your application. Once you give them your travel dates, they will either arrange the oath before you travel, or most likely after you come back.

    Impact of Queen's Death - Oath Ceremonies

    The funeral day could possibly be a national holiday (mourning day). Usually the funeral is 10 days after the death which I think falls on a Sunday. If they decide to make a national holiday on a weekday then possibly oaths on that day will be re scheduled

    Impact of Queen's Death - Oath Ceremonies

    i noticed that the pg10 in the oath invite that they ask us to sign and email back mentions QEII. Not sure if these will still be valid or maybe they will ask us on the oath day to cross out QEII and replace with KCIII before signing.... or maybe just over thinking it lol.

    Impact of Queen's Death - Oath Ceremonies

    my expecation is that everything should resume normally, with oath pledge being to the King. The only disruption that may potentially happen is if there will be public holidays in Canada (possibly on funeral day). Folks with ceremonies on that day may need to be re-scheduled.

    so I've reached out to IRCC. They advised that it's the Scarborough office processing my application (good to know finally) but they haven't sent the emails yet.
