    Canadian Citizenship Application gap between 2 passports

    You have to list the passport information of every single passport you had during the 5 years eligibility, so both, unless the old one is very old... Also, only the bio page is required for online applications, but the whole passport for paper ones.

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    It can be. It's just a simple "please finalize my app in x days, else I'll seek mandamus relief", regardless of how it is sent to IRCC (webform, mail, snail mail to the IRCC office...)

    Seek advice on withdraw and re-apply please help
