    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Yep, you can find instructions for applying for a Canadian passport abroad here: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports-abroad/new-adult-passport-abroad.html - from what I understand it's 20 business days + mailing time (when you apply from abroad...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ahh that's a good point. Mine are all still in progress. I wonder why my language is taking so long... I just included a copy of my IELTS scores that I used ten years ago for PR.

    Citizenship application: temporary foreign worker or student/visitor for the time after graduation but before PGWP was approved?

    It should be there. On IMM5669 specifically, you have the personal history section. (For paper apps, it's section 8 on page 2 of https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/kits/forms/imm5669/01-05-2021/imm5669e.pdf ) What activity did you put for the time period between June...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ah, I just realized I had a ghost update a couple of months ago that I completely missed all this time (from the Updated at: bit in the top right of the page). This is not to long after I fulfilled FP request so it's probably IRCC updating the file with that. Timeline still has no updates, so...

    Citizenship application: temporary foreign worker or student/visitor for the time after graduation but before PGWP was approved?

    You'd probably put the same answer that you did when applying for PR. I'm curious here - how are so many folks having this question when applying for citizenship? Surely you already had to apply for PR first, and thus already dealt with this question before... Anyways, for citizenship, the...

    What dates of study permit and PGWP to input for physical calculator for citizenship application. Thanks

    See my answer here, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/queries-regarding-citizenship-application-urgent.874235/post-11103498 In short - if you were authorized to work while waiting for PGWP (see https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1181 )...

    Question about full/part time status for PGWP eligibility as an International Student

    A letter of explanation (LOE) is a supporting document, so you can include it anywhere that you can add a supporting document. No harm in adding it as a page behind the language test results.

    implied status for Citizenship application

    See my answer here, https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/queries-regarding-citizenship-application-urgent.874235/post-11103498 - in short the maintained status counts as a temporary foreign worker. As for dates - what I've seen is that most people put the...

    Queries regarding citizenship application- Urgent

    Well, didn't you already deal with this when applying for PR/Express Entry (EE)? Back then you would have also had to answer this when filling out your profile (and your actual app post-ITA). So just do the same thing there that you did there back then. So IRCC renamed it from "implied" to...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    Huh, I hadn't realized that it'd been so long. I do recall it going back a few months but I guess I joined the party late. Not sure actually that this is the best advice. From an earlier post...

    PR card renewal obligations

    Another excellent post. I agree with all of it, but especially the line I quote above. I did want to add the following observation. Originally, I interpreted that quote to mean: "If your situation is so bad that 250+ pages are necessary for your file, then you have a credibility problem with...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    Yes, I too find that weird that (as per https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/arrived-on-prtd-pr-card-expired-need-pr-card-for-msp.714641/post-9076721 ) being even a few days short of 730 may put your PR at risk, even after you'd already been approved for a PRTD...

    PR Card successfully Renewed - H&C grounds / Not meeting RO

    That's definitely one scenario that should be avoided, but from OP's earlier posts I think the concern from OP is more with the risk of getting a section 44(1) report after getting PRTD approved on H&C, landing in Canada, and then applying for a PR card right away while actually starting the...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    This is a tough one. The first reason - to attend to her ill father - was accepted as "exceptional" by the RPD. This happened during COVID, incidentally. I know that virtual funerals are a thing, https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/16/health/virtual-funerals-coronavirus-wellness - but someone willing...

    How do you know that it's half down or that criminality is passed? On the tracker itself I just see this, Background verification In progress Background verification What does Background verification mean? We're checking your background to make sure you can become a Canadian citizen.

    Citizenship application REFUSAL for residents in Quebec with PR obtained through EE

    Would go over the entire thread, all pages. There's a lot of good advice here on this specific question.

    PR card renewal obligations

    Thank you again for an engaging read. I completely agree with everything you say. I'll just add a few minor comments on a few minor things you mentioned. Hmm. This is a really good point. Even in complex cases (i.e. outside of the "when the PR card applicant is in compliance with the RO based...

    Refugee status cessation and PRs applying for citizenship

    I agree. In his defense he brings up not being able to clearly understand what he was being told. I'm speculating here, but I kinda get the sense that this is more about him not believing CBSA rather than not understanding CBSA. Even so, getting the info sheet would help counter this class of...

    Yes, see https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-card-renewal-obligations.873603/post-11098963 for an example (though your mother's has been stuck for a bit longer it seems). Important note here - from what I understand you should be linking the application...
