    Citizenship Application Question

    The expiration date is when your status finishes, not the date written on the document, and your worker status finished when you got PR, so just put the expiry date as the date you became a PR, or the previous day, whatever the system accepts.

    Abnormal wait time on status update

    Both options will give the exact same report. The 5$ version is actually meant for the general public to ask for documents and reports from a given federal institution, but it also allows a specific individual to ask for reports on anything directly related to them, while the free version is...

    Abnormal wait time on status update

    GCMS is the internal system IRCC uses to process applications. GCMS notes are simply the content of that system regarding your own application. Also, please note that ATIP requests only require a 5$ fee if you ask for your GCMS notes through the Access to Information Act. As you're asking for...

    Separate or group citizenship application?

    Only one parent needs to include the child with their application. The other parent can apply alone.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    5$ under Access to Information Act, free under Privacy act. There's no reason to go for the paid version if someone is asking for personal information and not general records, and GCMS notes are personal.

    Separate or group citizenship application?

    It's a personal decision really. The applications are evaluated separately and based on their individual merits, the only practical difference is the joint test and ceremony invitation. Do you value getting the citizenship and going to the same ceremony with your spouse? And, less important...

    Employment and education history in the past 5 years - Employer address question

    B. Listing the headquarters only makes sense if your work is 100% remote, in which case it's worth specifying that your work is remote. If you physically went somewhere for work, IRCC wants to know where you went yourself, they can google the headquarters themselves if they want to.

    Is it risky to include days as a visitor in my physical presence?

    It's mandatory to give a precise assessment of your presence days. You don't have a choice. You were in Canada under visitor status during a period that falls within the last 5 years? It has to be listed. What's risky it to rely on these to reach 1095 days of physical presence. List them, but...

    Do they discriminate against TR to PR applicants in citizenship processing?

    The answers here, for another pathway to PR, still apply, minus the protected person specifics. Long story short : the pathway to PR itself doesn't matter, so don't worry about it...

    Co-op work permit, while student, how to enter that while filling the physical presence form?

    It probably doesn't matter much, if not at all, how you go about it, but if you're supposed to list your work history and include the 6 weeks part-time job, why not include the status under which you could have said job? Also, given the choices, I suppose "temporary worker" is what works the...

    ID for Online Citizenship Application (health card has no photo)

    To some extent, I appreciate the effort to revive a thread with an actual relevant answer, instead of just copy pasting the add and calling it a day. Obviously, it's AI made so it didn't take more than 5 seconds, but still, it's something. That being said, GTFO.

    IRCC: Citizenship Lost my fingerprints and gave me a final notice

    This is an unfortunate situation, but if IRCC says that they're nothing to do anymore, well, there's nothing to do. Ask for your GCMS notes, you'll receive them within a month and it will tell you what's going on with your criminality.

    Co-op work permit, while student, how to enter that while filling the physical presence form?

    In case of doubt, include everything here. There's absolutely no issue listing both the student status and the co-op work permit for the same period.

    @LuckyAngelSweety congrats! Welcome to the club. Hopefully an in-person ceremony. :)

    I am filling in the application for Canadian citizenship and I just realized that my Indian passport expired in July 2025. Can I still upload it?

    You don't need a valid passport for a citizenship application. No need to renew it.

    Citizenship Application Delayed Over 2 Years

    You got your answer for 1. 2) No, until your background is cleared, which includes establishing you're not that person, regardless of how it's going for them. 3) We can't really answer this. There seems to be an uptick in demand letters and ALJRs (first steps of mandamus) and I've seen in this...

    How fast can I get a passport?

    You will always meet a citizenship officer during the online ceremony. At the moment they verify your ID and ask you to cut the PR card, you'll have the opportunity to tell them.

    How fast can I get a passport?

    It can take a few days after virtual, but don't cancel in advance. Show up at the ceremony and speak with the IRCC officer there. No guarantee, but there could be a way to speed up the process for you if you tell them and show them your travel plans. If they can't speed things up, you'll tell...
