    Are Finger Print requests by exception, random or everyone?

    Not everyone. As far as anyone is aware, some combination of random + exceptions.

    PR Card renewal window

    I believe this is wrong. PR cards currently have the date with language specifically stating "PR since/RP depuis" - and that should indeed be the date one became a PR (landing date). Now I can't state for certain that PR cards have always contained precisely this field with this meaning. But...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Passports are indeed considered government-issued ID. Only an issue if it specifically says it must be (a) Canadian government-issued ID. [I say 'a' because funny thing in Canada, when they say Canadian government issued, that typically includes provincially issued. And I guess they figure it...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Check instructions carefully but I'm pretty sure it's only required for identification purposes - therefore any (readable) photo ID.

    Citizenship / Police certificate / clearance requirement

    If you read carefully, I believe it specifies that if your >183 days was immediately prior to becoming a PR, then it's not necessary.

    Letter of demand ahead of writ of mandamus?

    Obviously I've no insight into your specific case. But yes - even though they put some reasons into procedural fairness (which they have to do in order to give you a chance to respond), some of these reasons can be broad or vague enough that there is no specific part of it that can be called...

    PR for Mother

    I'd add: the government has set a target for reducing the number of temporary residents as a % of the total population, and it's going to be a hard target to meet. Now, there's a longer lead time for the supervisas / long issuance validity, so it's not like they can turn the tap off tomorrow...

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    A family application can only move and complete as fast as the slowest family member's file. So yes - they will all be slower, mathematically. (Except for rare cases where both are exactly as quick as each other.)

    Urgent!! passport expiry

    Never heard of a temporary UCI. At any rate - my advice is still to just wait.

    Urgent!! passport expiry

    There is no temporary UCI. It's permanent. If you've ever applied for one, you can use that one. Otherwise just wait, it'll be on one of the first pieces of correspondence you get. Again - while I recommend getting it in early, if you haven't received AOR yet, it's not all urgent.

    Do check the Ontario website, I believe under dependents of PR, legally in Canada. Not at all certain though.

    February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    You're stressing for no reason. Look at the tracker. Ballpark a dozen february applicants have oath dates (incl in future) out of 112 or so. You know from IRCC practices not all files proceed at same pace.

    Urgent!! passport expiry

    It's recommended to send it but not critical*, esp this early. Wait until you get the UCI and then submit the new passport info. Guess at the office (based on country of origin) or if you don't know, submit to Ottawa or Sydney, they'll eventually stick it in the right file. *Again, it's pretty...

    Language Skills passed, Physical Presence and Prohibitions still in Progress - Feb 2025 AOR, no document or interview requests

    Very useful advice on ordering the CBSA records. I wonder though how one would add Nexus info to citizenship app.

    November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Good point - worth noting, though, that for in-person ceremonies they give you the certificate at the ceremony. (One or two posters have mentioned getting the option - at the ceremony- of receiving the certificate electronically afterwards, but this still doesn't seem to be widespread.)

    It shouldn't if the diploma/degree is from a reputable place.
