    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Probably a good thing then that for most apps (like citizenship and PR card renewal) you only need the more recent, e.g last five years. Well, with it almost being 2026, this means that for folks making new renewals or citizenship apps, they should be able to expect complete coverage soon then...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So this forum has quite a few anecdotal reports on missing records, see for example https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/atip-entry-exit-record-missing-1-entry-no-stamp-either.771150/...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    From everything I've read so far, I'm expecting that your request to reschedule when you're back in the country to be granted and then a quick and perfunctory interview, and then an in-person ceremony. At least, I don't see any concerns thus far. Sorry I meant IRCC and/or CBSA's mistake (in...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So armoured's caution is correct here, but even so, this makes me speculate it's the same sort of deal. Even if you don't have a lot of travel and you have lots of buffer, being unluckly enough to be missing a few entry or exit records (or both) can introduce enough variation that you'd go from...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Our timelines are almost identical. I also have that short US travel. I've speculated that the US travel may be the reason for the delay - the US government had a shutdown a little while ago, and was still shutdown while your PP and LS were updated. So any pro forma checks that IRCC/CBSA would...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Ahhh... good catch. Both were "processing times" but I missed that there was an apples to oranges difference here. I actually wasn't able to find good numbers from IRCC for this year, but last year (Jan to Oct 2024 to be specific - covering a period of 304 days) it seems that they did >325,000...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    So I did some digging into this and I think you've got a good point here. If you look at https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/citizenship/citizenship-processing-times/citizenship-processing-times it says "Australian citizenship by conferral (general eligibility" "From date of application to...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Might be worth reaching out to Red Seal Notary. They can get your fingerprints submitted from your local police in your country to RCMP according to https://www.redsealnotary.com/services/rcmp-fingerprints-outside-canada/ (and they explicitly list India as one of the countries that they have...

    What specifically would I be looking for in the notes? Like a particular abbreviation or a keyword?

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Wish that was me, but mine still seems to be stuck. Right - but I'm from that list from armoured above, hence doesn't apply to me. Hmm, interesting. So I might have been a random quality control and thus moving slower. Is it possible to know this from GCMS notes?

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I guess it depends on the definition of "much". Certainly the fact that very few (perhaps none?) on this thread who got FP request have yet to get to the oath, while those who got to the oath weren't asked, does imply that the request itself does delay things - the question is indeed by how...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Except for US citizens, US green card holders, and the like (for which this is really easy), this is really hard to do.... According to https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/visit-canada/dual-canadian-citizens-visit-canada.html#findOut it may be possible to apply...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I don't recall if someone has already answered this, but: has any applicant who was requested fingerprints gotten to LPP complete yet? It's frustrating for me. I got FP almost certainly simply for having a super common name and a clean background. (Perhaps I was also just picked at random?) But...

    DAD WORKED FOR COUPLE DAYS IN A YEAR DO I NEED TO MENTION THAT AS EMPLOYEMENT

    That should be fine. As per https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/adult-minor/who.html the requirement is actually "You may need to file taxes in Canada for at least 3 years during the 5 years right before the date you apply" so even if he had to...

    Retrieve my old application for PR

    Too late to help OP probably, but wanted to add that even though it's not possible to view the old application on the portal anymore, you can still get a copy of the application itself via a ATIP request - see...

    Do I need to mention a few unemployment days between jobs? (citizenship application)

    One thing you can do is submit an ATIP request to IRCC for a copy of your old application - so you won't need to guess. See https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/request-some-old-documents-from-ircc-for-pr-application-made-in-2012.776037/ for details. See also...

    DAD WORKED FOR COUPLE DAYS IN A YEAR DO I NEED TO MENTION THAT AS EMPLOYEMENT

    The problem is that the online application is pretty inflexible. If you submit the work history directly, you'd need to put down some dates. My suggestion would be that you can either put a "best" guess on the dates and include a Letter Of Explanation (LOE) explaining that you don't remember...

    PR CARD RENEWAL AFTER NEW PASSPORT FROM INDIA WITH CORRECT GIVEN NAME AND SURNAME FIELD

    More or less exactly what you mention here. As an additional supporting doc, if you can get a letter from the India agency on why they changed the format of your father's name, it would help. Otherwise, if the new passport has a page where it references the old one (not all do but I've seen a...

    Waiting for AOR – Protected Person PR Application (Applied August 2024)

    I last did (to IRCC) it quite a few years ago. Back then It was almost exactly four months to the day for me. Here's a more recent attempt from this year: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/atip-delays-and-webforms-with-no-answers.873817/ so June 12 to August...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    I have a ghost update around August (which corresponds to when I answered my FP request). Otherwise we're in the same boat - last official update was July for me as well. Alas I have too many ties to that terrible country down south, so I expect my process to have been delayed significantly by...
