    Eligibility

    Relax. You threw your application's expected duration by the window by failing the test 3 times and then asking for a waiver, and you only applied in January. If you have a valid medical reason to have failed these tests, a long application was always in the cards for you and you should have...

    Tell us when you filed your income taxes in the last 5 years

    No income and no residence in Canada. Put no and move on. IRCC is fine with 3 years out of 5, you have 4 of those.

    Background verification Status Changed to in progress

    Criminality usually gets checked quite fast. A few weeks at most usually.

    Background verification Status Changed to in progress

    The criminality expires after a year, and seems like they just realized it and asked RCMP for a new criminality check.

    Citizenship application

    "Family visit. Traveled from USA to India from April x 2023 to May y 2023". There you go, and with plenty of characters to spare. And no need to upload anything they didn't ask for, and they didn't ask for NOAs.

    Scans of all passport pages for citizenship app

    You only need the bio pages. You can put them in a single pic.

    Eligibility

    The PR doesn't expire (as long as you've been here for 2 years out of 5), only the card does. So sure, renew it if needed.

    Eligibility

    Well, I can't speak of whether the waiver will be approved, I'm not a medical professional and I didn't have access to your proof. But what's for sure is that this depends on the merits of your waiver request... For the rest, nothing to add to what I told you in a previous thread...

    Work and school form for citizenship

    As @armoured said, no harm in disclosing. If you're hesitating over how to fill that section, just be exhaustive and list everything.

    Eligibility

    Yes, except prohibitions, which is more of a generic term including everything than can prohibit someone from becoming a citizen (and includes background, language, test and physical presence). Seems lime you're one citizenship test away from being scheduled for oath.

    Canada Citizenship: Enter details of all your employment and education history in the past 5 years (your eligibility period)

    It doesn't matter really. Both are acceptable. Pick one and move on, IRCC doesn't care much.

    PCC for Citizenship

    The PCC question and the address history are completely separate. If you didn't leave in a country for 183 days in a row in the past 4 years, a PCC isn't required as part of a complete application. Please note that IRCC is always free to ask for any document they want during the processing...

    The Government of Canada introduces citizenship by descent legislation for Canadians

    Good to know, and I am not familiar with US citizenship law. Thank you. One amendment I would like to see would be the replacement of "1095 days spent in Canada", somewhat akin to the precise calculations for the citizenship grant physical presence check, by something like "3 years total...

    The Government of Canada introduces citizenship by descent legislation for Canadians

    I'd like to see how they will verify this "1095 days before the child is born". For citizenship grant, quite easy, people take note of their trips and it's recent data from CBSA, but what about someone who was born outside the country to Canadian citizen, came back as a baby, before the family...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Huge congrats. I know people who applied a month or 2 after you did (AOR end of July) and they're stuck in BG. This gives me hope they're actually getting close to the finish line.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    There are people who have been waiting 2 years since their test. You're still significantly under the current average processing time, which should be your expectation, and no movement 100 days after test isn't all that uncommon, both in Ontario and elsewhere. Feel free to contact IRCC or your...

    Citizenship

    Waivers take time. Sometimes a significant time: many months, potentially years. Here's a thread, for example, of people going through medical waivers : some had to wait for years ...

    Citizenship

    There is nothing we can say here that will be practical to you. We don't know how it went with the hearing, so... Just wait for the hearing decision. It will come at some point. Absolute worst case : you didn't prove enough knowledge of Canada, the dedicion is negative, and you can reapply...

    Application of Minor

    Neither. 5(1) requires physical presence and 5(2) requires the Canadian citizenship of a parent. Your options : let the kid accumulate 3 years of physical presence, or apply under 5(2) after your oath. Also, you may want to contact IRCC and see if there's a way to add a new 5(2) application to...
