    Citizenship Ceremony with kids - Zoom Log in?

    I'd suggest waiting and reading the instructions when you get them (I'm assuming you've not, because they don't use zoom, IIRC).

    PFL- failing to declare previous TRV refusal

    There's no particularly good answer. Just tell the truth and keep it simple, whether it's just oversight or I read quickly or whatever.

    Can dependent land alone after main applicant short landing?

    Yes, as long as she lands first, and your father arrives before the COPR expires. The medical expiration is no longer relevant (save for IRCC internally). Note though, best he not leave it to the very last day.

    I don't even understand your question.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Within reason, expired passports can sometimes be accepted as ID, just like an expired PR card - note, in that they identify who one is with a photograph and NOT as proof of their 'current status.'

    Spousal sponsorship

    Don't know but I'd assume this is the spot for upload.

    Question about spouse sponsorship and low income assistance

    I don't understand - surely if she's not living in Canada and the children aren't yours and aren't PRs themselves, they simply aren't eligible?

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    You did post in the citizenship group but posted in 5+ threads. Just post once or twice and wait. The instructions repeated exactly what everyone and I have said. Repeating so it's clear: it's not a question (directly) of what language the certificates are in, but that it is stated clearly what...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Unfortunately, 'background check' is the part of the process with the biggest variability. Since your app is only from May, nothing to worry about, just uncertain how long it may take.

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    You've posted this exact same question in five+ threads - and threads that don't direclty have anything to do with your question. Post once or twice - and then wait. It's only volunteers here. You posting multiple times is disruptive to others. If you're in a hurry - use your time to search...

    Spousal sponsorship

    Yes, submit an update of what you previously provided. The more updates of concrete things, the better - nohting wrong with your 'social' udpates, but specific plans, arrangements for moving/places to live, schooling, jobs, admin arrangements, etc. It's a step forward but too early to guess how...

    I am currently studying in Ontario and my husband lives in Alberta. Should I Apply for Inland (Canada class) or Outland (Family class) sponsorship?

    No. You're completely wrong. This is a documented and simple thing. It is in the government's own instruction manual...

    Domestic Passport

    I assume you are referring to what is called an 'internal passport' in many countries, esp of the former Soviet Union. No, these are considered national identity documents valid only within the country of origin, and not (international) 'passports.' There is no need to supply them with a...

    Should Principal Applicant include all children who are not dependent in form IMM 5406

    Repeat, none of these children over 22 should be included on the IMM0008 form.

    Unlink Joint Applicaiton - Citizenship Application Delay

    You are wrong. One must remain in compliance with the residency obligation until one becomes a citizen. This is a corner case admittedly - one has to either/and be out of Canada for quite a while and have one's application take a very long time indeed.

    Got calls during citizenship test—will it be a problem?

    I don't know the answer and would say there's no way to know, frankly - I think it will just come down to the subjective impression of the officer checking it. Also no way @manchestercase can find out other than waiting. But good advice to all others: TURN OFF other programs and potential...

    I think one needs patience for all interactions with IRCC. But yes, this one too.

    Almost certainly IRCC will not care one way or the other, it's a thing people know.

    Unlink Joint Applicaiton - Citizenship Application Delay

    I think it was - originally - more about having ceremonies together, from days before virtual ceremonies. And of course 'family' apps for those with minor children means a joint app with the kids- does save time compared to parents getting citizenship first, THEN applying for minors (but no...

    Just Got Invited to a "New Citizenship-to-Passport Initiative Pilot Program" By IRCC

    Thanks, very useful. I *thought* it was the case that Canada Post PO boxes - i.e. those in 'rural' areas - are supposed to be exempted from any such restrictions. Because they're 'official.' (And BTW they don't seem to be just 'rural' anymore, they're using them for a lot of new suburban...
