    2023 Citizenship Applications

    At least some of the time it gets resolved because close to completion anyway - or sometimes just sending the demand letter itself (the first stage in process) encourages someone in IRCC to check and clear rather than deal with the paperwork. Other cases - "it depends."

    Issue with CBSA Travel Record – Impact on Citizenship Eligibility

    This is repetitive but: that is clearly some type of automated calculation. That may kick you out of the quicker (AI or risk-based?) simplified approval, but it doesn't mean it will be refused or subject to extra-super-slow processing. It almost certainly means it's kicked out to 'meat space' -...

    PR stamping

    There is no way anyone could help you if you don't provide any relevant information. But short form: ask through whichever agency you submitted the passport for stamping. They may or may not be able to tell you, but you can ask.

    Language Skills passed, Physical Presence and Prohibitions still in Progress - Feb 2025 AOR, no document or interview requests

    Anecdotally there have been claims here that any apps that were withdrawn (after AOR? dunno) are put in a separate process for extra checks. And that will have queues (separate and distinct). I can't confirm - of course - that this is true or not. But look at this thread again: even if you...

    Language Skills passed, Physical Presence and Prohibitions still in Progress - Feb 2025 AOR, no document or interview requests

    You got AOR in early Feb, so presumably applied in January or December. Apart from having applied with only 1096 days, and that the physical presence hasn't gone green yet, you've no reason to think anything is wrong. Your file is still well within normal processing times. Nothing of note that...

    PR staying outside CA, Sponsoring my Common-law partner ; How to strengthen my application

    Do not apply until you return to (factually) reside here. They will immediately twig and see that you are not in Canada. Exit / entry records are quite complete these days, and on top of it, you'll have no 'residency' records or other to support. PRs must reside in Canada to sponsor. Short...

    Canadian Citizen living and working abroad - needing a spouse visa for my wife

    As a Canadian citizen you can apply while still residing abroad, you'll just have to show 'intent to return to Canada.' Irrelevant whether you do this while in Canada on vacation or not. Do not choose the in-Canada (inland) option - for that you have to both be in Canada and residing together...

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Some people have been invited - not many - but I don't recall if they got the invitation before or after the oath ceremony. It is somewhat easier and quicker to do it that way (I think you don't need the guarantor). I'd get the regular form and start getting ready, but wait for say a week or so...

    Stuck in Physical Presence

    They started by finalizing the regulations in 2020 - they didn't complete process of requiring all airlines to provide and the procedures to do so in 2020 (as far as I'm aware). That was a year or more likely two later.

    Stuck in Physical Presence

    I believe the government's system for tracking exits by plane was 'in the works' and only went into full-production (where it should capture all exits) in 2021 or 2022. Not certain exactly. So they should be aware that this is a possibility, i.e. not due to anything on your end. Just means...

    I think all these interviews are online. I checked the invite for my spouse's, there was nothing in the invite saying it had to be done from within Canada. YMMV.

    Here was our experience, in somewhat more length: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/march-2025-citizenship-applications.867956/post-11059511 They did ask to show biopages of passports (yes, plural) on the call (we'd provided scans of all pages prior to...

    Stuck in Physical Presence

    Was all this travel a long time ago, like at beginning of the five year period? Were you travelling on a different travel doc? You could try again inquiring of CBSA and specifically identifying ALL of the travel docs you have held and used. This would include other passports, other travel docs...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Just wait. Most seem to get it before, some get it after ceremony. If you don't have it day after the ceremony, then call IRCC. If you have some special urgency you could call before that, but probably a waste of time - again, most will get it in plenty of time.

    Stuck in Physical Presence

    I agree that OP should order the CBSA travel records to know. I'd done this for spouse and there was only one exit missing (a lot of travel); we provided some info about that missing exit with the citizenship app. After applying we had interview (5 mins and jsut a few questions) and got the...

    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It varies a fair bit but not unusual. If you don't get it by 4-5 days before the ceremony (adjusting somewhat for weekends), call them. But basically relax, everyone gets the invitation in time. [I presume your dates as stated in July are just a typo, because time linear and all that]

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Did you get a notice and can't see the link? Or you're just curious? In our case it was online and email text started with this line under the title 'notice to appear': I cannot attest that all interviews are online or invites formulated this way - although I suspect it's standard and routine...
