    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    And other than the original being a file, there's no difference. Whenever needed, you can just print it out. If you want to get a nice one printed out by someone and frame it or whatever, go to a UPS shop or any printer. (Personally I think the new physical ones are identical in use to the...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    The ceremony is nice and I think most people will enjoy. Doesn't take noticeably longer - although I admit the locations do require transport.

    New born baby after getting COPR and VISA

    I do not know. Usually doesn't take long for the medical officers to clear, but I'd only be guessing about the other steps. Yes, may not 'take long', but still requires someone to go through the paperwork. Hopefully now that they're seized of the issue will be on the sooner end. Even that...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Notice I wrote they only seem to max announce them one week in advance - but the days of the week tend to stay the same. Since Vancouver has them on the public schedule for the 23rd, the date you got the 30th for an in-person fits this pattern exactly.

    New born baby after getting COPR and VISA

    They can request of the medical staff to extend; it's not guaranteed, but it's not uncommon if the principals are young enough and of good health.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't know, but as far as I'm aware, they basically don't update the minor's tracker info separately/reliably - so I'd say don't bother.

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    There are some in 'Sauga listed for this last week, they only seem to publish a week at a time. But at any rate: neither Toronto-area location seems to do Thursdays, so it's most likely virtual.

    Name Split in Passport, COPR and PR Card

    Did you have documents from others, such as banks, etc., as I mentioned? Did you have a document, as I wrote, that showed the basis upon which your home country issued the passport under a different name? I.e. is there ANY type of document that shows you changed your name? I'm not sure I...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I believe I've seen some get this before the ceremony, some after. So I don't think that critical. But not certain. I'd look at the invitation you've received already and check carefully: did it have any text that says you should have received the separate e-certificate email already?

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't have a solid answer except to say that I believe numbers-wise, virtual are more frequent. If you want to see/guess, you can check the date of ceremony against the publicly-posted schedules: https://secure.cic.gc.ca/CeremonyCeremonie/en/Home They're only posted for about a week at a...

    Basic Stuff

    Okay. Still not clear to me - were you born to a Canadian citizen? Or you are attempting to naturalize? If the former, it sounds to me like you may be looking at/using the wrong forms - you should not be applying for a grant of citizenship, but a proof of citizenship. (Just the terminology /...

    Basic Stuff

    You haven't given enough information for anyone to make sense of your question. Were you born a citizen or naturalizing? Where were you born? What's your claim to citizenship?

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Are you still looking at the application page where you submitted the app? I don't think that ever updates. You need to create an account and follow here: https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register

    No updates since Feb 13 - Outland

    There's no indication anything has gone wrong. The period after submitting bio and medical and the next step happening is the longest and quietest. You can compare to tracker but this is normal processing.

    Passing down citizenship to minor who was born abroad

    I think the problem is that you are filling out forms for a grant of citizenship, whereas - if the child is eligible - you need to apply for a proof of citizenship (the difference being that if eligible, the child is already a citizen and just needs to be able to show it). So two questions...
