May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[Datafricangurl]

Yes, they sent an email saying your application was returned. When I opened my account, I landed on a page saying you have insufficient days of physical presence, wait until you fulfill 1095 and apply. Which made no sense because I had 1096 and I had checked it one million times and even crossed checks with my entry-exit history from CBSA. I literally just re-submitted withe the extra ~1 month it took to return my application which came up to 1117 days now. My guess is they're too lazy to closely check your dates if you're right on the line and have no buffer, so they'd rather you just re-submit later so they don't have to be very meticulous and look at every travel entry.

Oh I’m so sorry this happened to you. And now I’m worried because mine is also similar

I was checking the google sheet and someone has gotten AOR with 1095 days and a few actually gotten AOR with 1096 days. I believe it depends on the CO if they accept it or not.
You can also check the applicants’ list for April.

Has anyone submitted the application without the police character certificate?
I was living in Singapore before coming to CA and SG doesn't issue PCC unless we show them a proof of PCC requirement from the authorities of requesting country. Even then they may or may not issue the PCC.
I was wondering what will happen if I'm unable to get the PCC from Singapore or will it add any additional steps or delays in the process.
Has anyone encountered similar situation?

Yes, I did that and am currently waiting for the AOR. I’ve been in Canada for the past 3 years, and before that, I was living in another country. While submitting the application, I included a note explaining that since I had already submitted a PCC during my PR process, I believe it may not be required again. However, I also mentioned that if it is, I’ll be happy to provide it.

At that time, I was living in Japan, and similar to Singapore, Japan requires a letter from the requesting authority in order to issue a PCC. The process typically takes around 5–6 weeks. I submitted my application on May 27th, so I’m expecting an update by the end of June. Let’s see how it goes.I’ll keep posted.

I’m expecting my AOR/response anytime now as I had submitted my application on 13th May. I’ll update you here on the next steps IRCC advances me.

I doubt it is lost…. Did you submit online or paper? Seems the Avg time is 30days give or take a couple. Next week…

HI, There is no way any app can be lost.
If you look on IRCC website they are actively issuing AOR for week of 24th April.
But some of us are getting AOR sooner than expected.
I believe in next 8 business days anytime most applicants applied till may 13, will get AOR.

Quick question — I received my AOR yesterday, and I realized that I completely forgot to include my part-time jobs in the application. These jobs were included in my tax filings as well.

What should I do in this case? Has anyone else faced a similar situation?

Just leave it be.
