    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    My general understanding is that once citizenship is obtained, cessation is no longer an issue. The person ceased to be a refugee and PR once they became a Canadian citizen, there's no longer any refugee or PR status to fear losing. There's an older post that clearly states this here...

    Waiver for physical presence in Canada for time spent just before the Covid pandemic

    I'm curious as to how OP would even start the application process for such a waiver. Nevermind the request being denied or not being accepted, how does one even in theory send such a request to the gov't?

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I'm trying to learn (rather desperately), but for now I have to rely on machine translation. Agreed on both counts. The machine translation gives me this, so while twice in the last decade may be accurate, overall it's been quite a bit more than that. I'd add that he likely stopped traveling...

    Inquiry

    Generally the role of the MP here is to make sure that gov't agencies, IRCC included, are following the law and doing their job. It's mostly helpful if you've gone beyond the standard processing times but there's not a good reason for it (e.g. delays due to a complex background check would count...

    Fingerprint request for Citizenship

    In case other readers of this thread get confused, Seym's link is for visa and PR related fingerprinting, which can be done outside of Canada, while OP's link is specifically for citizenship. Well, there might still be a way...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    At first I thought no, because that OP replied expressing surprise that OP's application made it this far. But thinking it over, if 1043 is a typo for 1093, and OP also made the mistake of not including eligible partial days (and finally perhaps OP applied on paper for some reason, e.g. because...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't understand this at all. As per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/mistake-on-physical-presence-calculator.636774/ there's no discretion to approve the application if the days are short. The only way I can see this working out for you is if you somehow...

    PFL - MISREPRESENTATION - NOT MENTIONING COMMON LAW

    Ok, so divorce in process while being separated and living as common-law with another is also covered in the same thread, specifically this post, So this scenario I don't know about. I'd guess that your common-law partner should be listed as a family member but added as a non-accompanying...

    PFL - MISREPRESENTATION - NOT MENTIONING COMMON LAW

    When? But of course it must have been this year, as you only have 60 days to accept it. Also, are you already living in Canada or are you applying from abroad? (Some PNPs are programs for folks who've been working in the province of the program, but I think some PNPs do allow the province to...

    Travelling to USA for 3 days after applying Canadian Citizenship- Please help

    From the gov't, https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=911&top=5 Generally one does need to keep returning to Canada long enough to maintain the residency obligation (RO) and thus keep PR (unless under a qualifying exception like following a Canadian spouse aboard), but...

    Despite Citizenship Application Withdrawl, not able to start new citizenship application

    I can't speak for the OPs here, but one good reason why is because one miscalculated the physical presence and is actually short (e.g. mistakenly counted some non-qualifying visitor time or time outside of status, or misremembering when a vacation from years ago took place). In that case, the...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Merely changing a phone number shouldn't have any effect on the processing. It's certainly very unusual for them to call the applicant. As to how, I'm not sure, but if no one has a better way, I'd just suggest raising a webform with IRCC for the update...

    Despite Citizenship Application Withdrawl, not able to start new citizenship application

    I got AOR far longer before I got access to the tracker. If this was the only thing you had, then I'd think that you're still within the usual timeframe before access. For me it was the opposite though - the email inviting me took longer to arrive, but I was in the tracker before I got the...

    Despite Citizenship Application Withdrawl, not able to start new citizenship application

    How long has it been? I think in my case I had to wait beyond the expected maximum time to be able to make the tracker - I was an April applicant and only got access in July (or perhaps it was near the end of June). This is my first app.

    Residency obligation

    In this case I'd echo the point brought up here, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/residency-obligation.870752/page-4#post-11063220 - if one is not in a position to think clearly it's all the more important to get competent representation. That's why you...

    Residency obligation

    Out of curiosity, why? Has your situation changed and you're ready to return to Canada? As this was the advice that was previously given to you in this thread (see https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/residency-obligation.870752/page-5#post-11064870 ) and you...

    Moved outside Canada for work after submitting citizenship application, does it impact processing timeline?

    They want to know, as per https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=627&top=4 There's a related thread over at https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/changing-address-after-citizenship-application.250161/ that explains how to do this. But also...

    Despite Citizenship Application Withdrawl, not able to start new citizenship application

    Are you using the same email? Because my guess is that they updated the application itself but forgot to close out the old portal. Might be better to see if you can start a new application with a new email address.

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely
