    Citizenship Application for Minors

    That's a possibility, but it probably doesn't need to come to this. I'd suggest OP to call IRCC. Technical issues are probably the one thing the agent on the other side can help with.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    No need to post this in many threads. People read most of them you know. That being said, yeah, IRCC is hella confusing wen clicking Background Check and Prohibitions sections in the tracker lead to the same link ...

    How did you manage to access the tracker? Seems like it's still unavailable to me.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    BG can potentially take 2 to 3 years for some. But that has nothing to do with IRCC itself. It's mostly at CSIS and CBSA level.

    Question regarding work/school section

    Just report your actual situation truthfully and as accurately as possible. IRCC is just trying here to get a sense of your presence in Canada along with your other statements (travel history, address history). They don't really care about your actual employment situation.

    Looking for a full list of all names mentioned in Discover Canada (2021)

    Faire point, but I've been lurking here for years and have not seen such a list. I'd say that the main reason is that most important names are in the historical events sections anyway (it's hard to skip MacDonald if we're speaking about 1867 right? :d), so it would mostly be a repeat. The only...

    Looking for a full list of all names mentioned in Discover Canada (2021)

    Not that it answers your question, but if you're at the point where you've been through the summary of dates and historical events, which obviously includes the people associated with these events, you're probably more than ready to pass the test. Anyone who prepares it a minimum is a guaranteed...

    Nop, criminality completed without it.

    Calculating physical presence

    What you want sooner than later is getting your oath ceremony. You don't control how things will go at IRCC level, but you "maximise your luck" by having the most complete, precise and ordinary application possible. That includes applying from the country to wish to become a citizen of. Use...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    As you'll see from most timelines, it'ss kinda been the trend for people stuck in security to wait between 2 and 3 years from when the application was sent. When the test was completed means nothing really.

    After oath ceremony, where do I use the name of the IRCC officer?

    This seem to contradict the original message, which says the email subject shouldn't include the clerk mail... Anyway, follow the instructions you received from IRCC, whatever it is. Everything else is noise.

    After oath ceremony, where do I use the name of the IRCC officer?

    Always refer to the official source. Here, it would be the email you receive from IRCC with your oath invitation. If it says nothing about the officer's name, and it does indeed say nothing, it would mean one of 2 things: 1) other IRCC offices may have different procedures that don't apply to...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    That means that your criminality assessment expired after a year. IRCC sometimes only rechecks it after security has been completed, so background can be set to completed and then return to in progress. But it's good news, criminality usually doesn't take time at all, and once the new set of...

    Citizenship Application: Parent Meets Residency, Child Doesn’t. What Are the Options?

    The kids of Canadian citizen or the kids applying with their parents don't have any physical presence requirement. So yes, the parent can apply for the child at the same time. Also, please note that the eligibility windows doesn't expire, it just shifts day by day to always cover the 5 years...

    Citizenship - Address and Study dates starting outside the 5 year period

    If the online application accepts putting the real starting date, do so, if it throws a mistake, put the beginning of the 5 years eligibility period. It's no big deal one way or another.

    Marital Status Question

    It doesn't matter. Pick one and move on, it won't affect your application one way or another.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    It absolutely is broken, but there's unfortunately no incentive to fix it at all. If anything, we're at a point where government will make things harder instead of more efficient, just like biometrics being necessary for every single applicant starting next year or the one after...
