    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Right on the tracker page where you saw that you have a ceremony it says to wait until ~6 days before to receive the email - indicating it's perfectly normal.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Sure. Looks fine to me. You may wish to clarify earlier in the letter and state specifically that your work permit extension was not refused, but withdrawn (because not needed with receipt of PR status). And go over once more perhaps to simplify/for language.

    Am I a Canadian Citizen?

    Only one generation removed (i.e. father) and would seem to be a decent claim for citizenship - nothing to do with the Liberals at all. No need to be a rude wanker about it. Question would be what proof would be required. Birth certificate of parent and birth certificate showing parentage...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    That's going to take some time and likely they will not provide either clear answer or written proof. @Pathamah52 - This isn't that complicated: sure, write a short letter of explanation just to cover the bases.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Please - that is exactly what you said, "The minimum wait is 24 months now." You may think it applies, and it might be relevant in this case - but it's not some 'minimum.' Just say something simple like 'it seems files that are delayed this long are taking 24 months or more.'

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I don't believe this 'minimum wait' is true. It may be for some specific pipeline or subset of apps, or a series of apps that have actually taken >24 months, but no way to know in advance (as far as I'm aware) that one's app is "in" some group for which 24 months is a minimum.

    This sounds different than what you first posted. I leave it up to you to figure it out.

    Potentially. As I mentioned before, you didn't provide your full timeline and whether you had lived together for continuous 12 months before you became a PR (eg it depends when this period living apart was). And obviously dependent on this also being a period in which there was not a relationship.

    It is possible IRCC will accept your reasoning - but pay careful attention to it. Some here have had success in presenting their cases. I personally would be a bit skeptical about an immigration lawyer who dismissed this entirely as a concern. Rgardless - you are better off having asked and...

    It's not a stupid question, and you shouldn't feel judged (well maybe a bit) - you made a mistake. Own up, deal with it, and leave it there for others to learn. For the record, I HATE this policy of IRCC's - it's overly severe for situations where people honestly make mistakes, and where...

    I usually edit down the quote-posts just for logic/ease of reading, but every once in a while think I should quote the whole thing, just for this reason. Talk about ostrich-head-in-the-sand approach.

    PCC for Citizenship application

    Read the instructions/form carefully. -You can answer 'yes' to being outside more than 183 days; BUT, -in the part that refers to which country, note that this time was in your country of origin (in the explanation box) immediately prior to coming to Canada/becoming a PR - i.e. you do NOT need...

    Just LOVE when people ask for views/info and then delete the title and content of their original ask when they don't like the answers they get. Time for the big adult pants, folks.

    Well, good luck. To me a few things stand out: -'we weren't sure of the relationship' = there WAS a form of conjugal relationship. This is EXACTLY why the concept of 'common law relationship' exists - people living together for 'years and years' and not making up their minds or having their...

    Your concern is valid. Suggest you speak to a lawyer. I think there's a high likelihood that they'll see this as an undeclared common-law spouse, and you'll never be able to sponsor them. Your timeline is not fully complete but three moves together in three years? Yeah, they're going to see...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I think the only conclusion with prohibitions not done and no mention of other is security clearances. Do you see any s.21 footnotes or references? These references would mean something has been redacted, you can look up the reasons, but they won't likely tell you much either (generic reasons...

    Nope, I can't. Internet. Or call the IRCC consular line and ask for guidance and how to contact. Etc.

    You can continue to read the threads and get some vague impression. At this stage, I repeat my previous comment(s): hire a lawyer, make up your mind, get off the pot, make a decision, and do it. Reading more random threads is not going to resolve the remaining issues; I doubt it's going to...

    Baby born Outside Canada Online Citizenship Application

    I do not know / it depends. This is why (assuming you are applying for passport for child born outside Canada) it's important to check with the Embassy/High Commission's consular section. They may have minimum requirements / it may depend on urgency.
