    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    @sgrv correct. The country of origin is indeed the country where you were originally before PR, and from which you submitted your PR application, not necessarily the country of citizenship. Neither you nor your wife need an Indian PCC to submit a complete citizenship application. Obviously, IRCC...

    Working from Home during Citizenship eligibility period

    Thousands and thousands of people obviously. List the company address, and specify in your job title that it's remote. No need for a complicated explanation, something like "Software engineer (remote work only)" is more than enough.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Please stop spamming everywhere. 1) what does a visa have to do with your address history? This question makes no sense really. 2) a visa is not a travel document. List passports or refugee travels docs. Maybe nexus card or anything equivalent, but not visas. There's a section of the...

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Thanks! I suppose you can always make the request by phone or webform, but dunno if you'll actually get your wish granted. Also, "whole family and friends" may not be possible. In the invitation for the in person ceremony in Montreal, the invitation specified that there could be "one guest per...

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    There are. I attended one for a family member of mine 3 weeks ago, in Montreal.

    Citizenship not started, but everything else complete. Help!

    Could be anything from "next day oath date in tracker" to a couple months really. Odds are you'll be done in January, but beside that, impossible to say.

    Citizenship not started, but everything else complete. Help!

    You don't need any "help", just a bit of patience. IRCC agents were obviously not working these last 2 days, and most won't work today either. You'll get your oath ceremony very probably in January, and finish the process long before the current processing time, which IRCC puts at around a year...

    Does my address and job history in the citizenship application need to match what I provided in my PR application?

    As far as I know, there's no way to retrieve your PR application that is not "look at your laptop or USB files". And frankly, it would be overkill. No need to worry about it. Your work and address history just need to match reality. Do your best to give accurate information and keep it at that...

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    Well, non-routine cases take a long time, significantly more than the processing average (which is around a year right now!), and you're free to dig into the threads of this forum yourself.

    GCMS notes meaning: NPR Verified?

    NPR very probably mean "non permanent resident", here for physical presence days before PR. What matters here is that IRCC cannot validate the days of presence you claimed before you for your PR. You were probably on a visitor status and not a student or worker with a "bulletproof status". IRCC...

    Canadian New Passport from USA

    You can apply for a passport from most countries on the planet, including the US. A Google search would easily confirm it : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-passports-usa/new-adult-passport-usa.html

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    I suppose that you need some signed letter from that institute saying that you passed your langage exam with this score on that date and that the document sent to IRCC is indeed the one they delivered you. But honestly , speak with a lawyer. Maybe it's overkill, but you wanna make sure you avoid...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    @blueeye2019 please talk to a lawyer. IRCC thinks you sent a fake language proof. Either you did and you're in deep shit and it's probably worth asking a lawyer what your current options are, or it's a genuine proof and a lawyer can help you navigate this.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    You've applied 3 years ago and IRCC cannot even hide behind the "other agencies" excuse. It's absolutely ludicrous. TBH, if there's an issue with your physical presence, they should have told you in 2024 and you would have reapplied since then and gotten the citizenship, and if they think your...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    1) you asked an identical question for work history. The same answer obviously applies. 2) where in the online application does it ask to attach the signed physical presence document? Absolutely nowhere? It means that isn't not needed. Same for every other document you may think of that is not...

    Citizenship application - first generation limit

    You can only see your own timeline, or in your case your kids' timelines through the tracker, but many people who apply and don't have to go through extensive security checks and physical presence issues routinely get their citizenship in 4 or 5 months (including me and most of my family). As...

    Citizenship application - first generation limit

    This is not really an answer to your post but something worth considering : If you've already applied for their citizenship, they will probably get it very soon (a few months max probably). It won't really make a difference to them whether the certificate of citizenship lists the day they get...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Doesn't matter, pick one and move on. If there's a bug with the one you picked (let's say you enter a date before the 5 years and the system complains) pick the other.

    No. The same way you don't need to list that one time you slept in the couch of a friend or a weekend chalet.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    You should be good to go without a PCC, at least to have a complete application for IRCC, but please note that IRCC can ask for one anyway. Country of origin isn't necessarily the country of citizenship, but the country where you lived when you applied for PR and waited for its processing. In...
