    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    This usually happens when security is completed, and the IRCC agent looking at your file due to this realises that criminality expired. Your criminality should be cleared very soon and everything else will follow. You're very close to the finish line now! :)

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    It only means that CBSA censored that part of the notes before sending it. Nothing more to it.

    2 years application but still stuck

    You're stuck in a very long security check. It unfortunately happens to a sizable minority of applicants. There's a thread here for 2023 applicants in the same situation : https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/2023-citizenship-applications.861305/

    Citizenship Application

    Your work permit automatically expired when you got your PR, regardless of the date printed in the document. Just put the last day before your PR to satisfy the system and move on.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I'm not sure why you'd post this in a group of 2023 applicants, but to answer your question : if it's not obvious that you studied in English, and it may not be if your bachelor/master was from your country of origin, you may need a letter from the registrar of your university stating that the...

    Visitor Visa never used- Directly landed on PR

    No will do. That question is for the the physical presence requirement, and she has no physical presence to ask for. If you feel like no isn't representative of the "true situation", put it there anyway as that allows to complete filing that part of the application, and add a short explanation...

    Prooooobably the one listed on the message right above yours?

    Oath invite- Dependent child not in Canada right now

    If 14 or above, the minor's presence is needed. No oath is required for minors 13 or younger, so no need to come back to Canada in that case. I'm unaware of the procedure to get rid of the kid's PR card if he's not attending the ceremony and has it with him, so maybe someone else can clarify...

    Inquiry from my friend application police clearance issue

    Not if You didn't spend 183 days in a row in India since you became PR.

    Very stressed, please help!

    Relax, IRCC isn't in the business of denying applications for small details. If you forgot something, you can send a webform to correct it, and if you no longer have a document, just have a copy if you have one, or simply don't even mention it and if asked for it, say the truth. If IRCC wants...

    citizenship calculation time

    I gave a generic answer elsewhere (please don't post a question many times!) but since you gave more details : Your eligibility period is 5 years prior to signing your application, let's say you're applying today, that would be from August 8, 2020. Dyring that period, you were in Canada under...

    1095 days citizenship physical presence, am I good or should I withdraw my application?

    Yep. Also, may be obvious, but to complete the answer : just make sure that you're "officially" in Canada for part of the day for it to count. Landing in Canada before midnight but only making it to customs after midnight won't allow you to count the time before midnight although, technically...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    It's good to know that the number of security screening requests has nearly doubled in the recent years, but it's a mediocre article at best. At a bare minimum, the journalist should have tried to quantify the effect on the average SS duration, maybe ventilating it by type of application, the...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    All we can say is that all days spent in Canada prior to becoming a PR only count as half a day for citizenship purposes, up to 365 days. Why it's 319/2 instead of 343/2 has to do with the information you provided the calculator, you should easily figure it out.

    Proof citizenship delay

    The average processing time for proof of citizenship is currently at 5 months. You're already at more than twice of that. Your application may be non-routine, and any non-routine application at IRCC will just take the time it takes, we can't really say when you'll get your citizenship proof. You...

    Part of it is covid-related, but yeah, it's egregious.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    The PCC requirement clearly speaks about spending 183 days in a row in a country. I highly doubt you can squeeze 183 days in a month or a month and a half.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Also, the bright side : I can point to at least ONE (to be honest, that's the only one I've seen!) successful self-representation that went all the way, and with a positive decision, so it's certainly possible... Kudos to Ali Jebelli :)...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I'm not advocating for it either to be honest. My answer above was merely "matter of factly" and says nothing of the degree of complexity involved in the process. I've seen FB and whatsapp communities pushing for self-representation, and per se, why not, but part of my observation was the huge...
