    new request for IMM 5562 after 15 month waiting

    I don't understand your question. But if they request IMM5562, you'll need to submit it. Sometimes they ask for updated, sometimes they ask if not submitted with the app (not all applicants are required to with the original app).

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    I think there's very little likeilhood they are intentionally slowing down citizenship apps. Additional or more strict security checks (for a whole bunch of reasons incl dealing with US admin, change of Canadian govt, revised threat assessments, etc., ) are a more likely cause, reductions in...

    Failure to declare common law partner

    I should have written via the citizenship application form (in future that is).

    Procedural Fairness - PFLs sent AFTER misrepresentation ban imposed? Need help!

    First, I don't think anyone is going to be able to tell you much in response except for an actual lawyer. And the first question I would give them is - leaving aside other aspects of this decision (i.e. for the moment ignore the chances of success just on the substantive question), would an...

    Failure to declare common law partner

    Point of clarity as I didn't answer: information on spouses/marital situation is collected via the form, so tell the truth on that. But it's not a qualifying matter and not an issue - as far as I'm aware collected just for statistical purposes.

    Failure to declare common law partner

    Actually nothing to worry about in your specific case. You were already a PR as of May 2024, i.e. by the time that you became common law partners in December 2025. Therefore at that point you were not eligible for sponsorship (someone who is already a PR cannot be sponsored to become one)...

    I have filed for a name change, but things went wrong, I need urgent help.

    I don't really know what you're trying to achieve, but my suggestion would be: -just proceed with your citizenship app as currently scheduled. -if you get your citizenship before it's done, apply for a passort afte ryou get the name change (this will get you passport in new name), and only after...

    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    In my view it's VERY unlikely it will be any quicker, and if anything likely to extend it further (i.e. beyond what you could expect now). But if you want to try it, it's your right.

    Can Indian passport be used as ID for first Canadian passport application?

    Yes, you can use your Indian passport for the Canadian passport application. -Canada doesn't care about your foreign citizenships (basically). -Your relations with the Indian government (and responsibilities to it) are basically your own.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    -Have they asked for an in-person interview? I mean, I'd just respond that you're out of the country for work (if that's true of course) and your return date; offer to provide more info if needed. It can't hurt to state you'd be available for on-line interview. -I don't know. As far as I'm...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    We had done and I believe wrote about it in the March 2025 thread - it would have been right about the end of May. It was very low pressure, verify documents (hold them up to screen), ask some questions about work and life, that was it. It was almost certainly because physical presence was...

    Outside Canada - Oath of Citizenship

    Well, you decide whether you want to proceed this way, or would prefer to return to Canada to take the oath (they imply will be faster, but no details). If the former: follow the instructions.

    Question: IMM 5669 Section 10 (Gov Positions) - Third-party contractor working at a Gov site?

    Personally I would consider this a private employer, no question. I don't think even a letter of explanation is necessary. (Perhaps with exception if the position involved some kind of significant policy authority) There may be some positions/types of employment (government-owned/controlled...

    Will my tools work in Canada?

    If you want a really simple rule of thumb: tools with batteries probably fine, computer and household electronics too - just check the panels on the devices, powerbricks or chargers to see if they have the 100-240v 'switching' type power supplies. Heavier wired gear (things with larger physical...

    Physical presence calculation mistake, but should still be eligible

    About the only thing you could do is submit a revised physical presence form with ALL trips shown. Note, you say this was from before you became a PR, were you counting any days from before towards your eligibility? Separately: I'd suggest ordering your entry/exit records from CBSA. If it...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    This is fair - I don't know exactly what the law requires viz. citizenship judges, but I understand it's largely ceremonial - don't see why some local dignitary (retired judges, police, firemen, military officers of a certain rank, etc) couldn't be deputized. Particularly since the...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ummmm.... while I applaud attempts to compare one jurisdiction (esp one such as Australia) to another (Canada) in this instance, you have to be careful to compare like to like. Waiting lists are not annual throughput / applications, is one basic example. Okay, it's not always easy to find the...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Three years is a point I'd think mandamus should be considered.

    Grant review ready pm01

    PM01 is the lowest level of a specific category of government job (program manager it's called I think, job type - does not mean the person is in 'management' however); it implies there's not that much complex. (But that could change of course).
