    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    No need for explanation letters really. In the job section, you can add remote in parenthesis next to your job title or address. Everyone is familiar with remote work in a post covid world after all. And for the address history, IRCC just doesn't need the extra-information. You can't withhold...

    Questions on Citizenship Application for folks who have worked remotely

    1) as you wish. IRCC doesn't really care. If you list your Toronto address, nothing stops you from specifying that's its a virtual/remote work in case you want to avoid any confusion. 2) Skip those, or any hotels/airbnbs/friend houses for short vacations. Only list the places where you "live".

    Withdraw and reapply?

    You took a risk willingly, with minimal buffer and ton of travels. There's nothing unfair about seeing bumps in the processing of a complex application by nature of your choices. Yeah it's frustrating, and I understand the venting, but have some perspective. At the end of the day, the service...

    Regarding In-person to Virtual Oath

    While I can't say when IRCC will acknowledge your message and invite you to a different ceremony (and it can be a matter of days, or months), please note that you need to be in Canada for your virtual oath. As for your daughter, she can skip the ceremony and travel elsewhere if under 14 only...

    Jan/Feb/Mar Aor (Van Office) waiting for LPP!

    IRCC conducts an initial screening, which is usually lightning quick, and then decides (for the majority) to complete the BC, or starts a comprehensive screening with the help of external agencies like CSIS and CBSA, which for the unlucky ones means 2 or 3 years of processing. It's good to be boring

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    There are many people who see their security finish in 2 years or so. But this is not a FIFO thing. Some September applicants will finish before January ones... Just sit tight a wait.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Background is criminality + security. 2023 applicants are stuck in lengthy security checks.

    inquiry for citizenship for a friend

    No need for separate threads for similar questions. Also, 3 or 4 years in a single country is obviously a relevant immigration status. Needs to be listed.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Yeah, it's a lot of money (or a lot of work for people representing themselves?) for something that is probably getting close anyway.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    The mandamus process just started and will not go to the hearing anyway... Probably just made an officer have a look, e-mail CSIS and after 2 years, CSIS was pretty much done finding absolutely nothing. Or maybe it was in the cards to be done soon anyway. It's a good sign for mid 2023 applicants...

    Eligibility

    Relax. You threw your application's expected duration by the window by failing the test 3 times and then asking for a waiver, and you only applied in January. If you have a valid medical reason to have failed these tests, a long application was always in the cards for you and you should have...

    Tell us when you filed your income taxes in the last 5 years

    No income and no residence in Canada. Put no and move on. IRCC is fine with 3 years out of 5, you have 4 of those.

    Background verification Status Changed to in progress

    Criminality usually gets checked quite fast. A few weeks at most usually.

    Background verification Status Changed to in progress

    The criminality expires after a year, and seems like they just realized it and asked RCMP for a new criminality check.

    Citizenship application

    "Family visit. Traveled from USA to India from April x 2023 to May y 2023". There you go, and with plenty of characters to spare. And no need to upload anything they didn't ask for, and they didn't ask for NOAs.

    Scans of all passport pages for citizenship app

    You only need the bio pages. You can put them in a single pic.

    Eligibility

    The PR doesn't expire (as long as you've been here for 2 years out of 5), only the card does. So sure, renew it if needed.

    Eligibility

    Well, I can't speak of whether the waiver will be approved, I'm not a medical professional and I didn't have access to your proof. But what's for sure is that this depends on the merits of your waiver request... For the rest, nothing to add to what I told you in a previous thread...

    Work and school form for citizenship

    As @armoured said, no harm in disclosing. If you're hesitating over how to fill that section, just be exhaustive and list everything.
