    I don't see any reason not to complete the test.

    Canadian Citizenship Application -- PCC Needed ?

    The text reads: "You need to provide a police certificate from each country, other than Canada, if you were there in the past 4 years for 183 days or more in a row" That's it. Don't overthink it. If in the last four years (as of date of application) she did not spend more than 183 days in a...

    Withdraw and reapply?

    Okay, now I understand. It would indeed be required for you to have met the PP requirement as at the time of the new application. As far as I'm aware, there is no such thing as a PP waiver, and even if they understood and are sympathetic about the reasons for missing the oath ceremony (i.e...

    Deadlines to return Canada and to renew PR Card

    I emphasize, it means the border officer MIGHT allow you to enter without issue - but they also might issue the 44(1) report for non-compliance, and that revokes your PR status (it is subject to appeal, but I woulnd't even suggest that many appeals are successful - don't know). Yes, if you're...

    Canadian Citizenship Application -- PCC Needed ?

    If i understand the timeline above - what you're saying is that she was not outside Canada/in another country for more than 183 days in a row in the last four years. In which case - she would need to provide a police certificate for every country in which she was for more than 183 days in that...

    Withdraw and reapply?

    Just to clarify, I believe we have seen some apps go for clarification where eg the applicant's presence info was contradicted by CBSA. When that happens, it's not automatically fatal to an app, just depends on the facts. (CBSA info can sometimes be wrong, or sometimes the discrepancy isn't...

    Withdraw and reapply?

    I do not know the answer. I simply don't see info about where @Kiranmayi is actually residing/how much time in Canada. Other posts refer to being 'in Europe' re test, that is, I understand to mean 'now', and presumably the previous abandoned app meant was away back around time of that oath...

    Citizenship Backlog Surge 2026

    The April update to the citizenship waits / numbers are out, and some of the info relevant to this question. The headline figures: timeline for most recent month applying (March 2027) is now shown as 12 months, whereas it's been at 13 months for some time now (at least 4-5 months). The max...

    Deadlines to return Canada and to renew PR Card

    For RO compliance: you count the number of days OUTSIDE Canada in the last five years, discarding any days prior to becoming a PR; if the total of days OUTSIDE is LESS than 1095, you are in compliance. It applies whether or not your card is valid or not (but you cannot board a plane to Canada...

    Withdraw and reapply?

    WARNING: while I agree that if the applicant is certain that they are under the 1095 days, I'm not clear that this is the case for @Kiranmayi . (But I might have missed something, or one of us may have confused with another case) Even for cases where it is referred to program support for...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Same, waiting. I note for march applicants it now says two months left. Which we know means 'two months left until we change the message to 'we need more time to process your application.' Actually it doesn't even mean that, because in practice Jan 2025 still shows two months, so it means...

    Guide for immigration process

    In addition to what @scylla noted: -read/post to the family sponsorship forum here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/forums/family-class-sponsorship.5/ Recommend reading some to get familiar. For the most part what you will likely be looking at is spousal...

    PR Card Delay After Photo Resubmission – Sept 17 Landing

    I'd try calling IRCC, and if that doesn't resolve things/situation not clear, try your MP's office. Just emphasize that for someone landed and living in Canada it causes problems not to have it and/or you have a need to travel soon.

    Soon to get Copr, can't leave dad alone, unable to decide

    The bottom line is: living permanently in Canada with your spouse, child, and elderly father may not be possible, or at least in reasonable timeframes. And at some point, remaining in home country with the father and family may foreclose options to settle in Canada. Sorry for the downer...

    Withdraw sponsorship of spouse

    I agree overall - there are three different points here (IMO): 1) It is possible it's not a spousal sponsorship - in which case the actual move would be to remove the partner as a dependent spouse from the app. 2) On the more innocuous side, 'application' is a bit ambiguous - in reality it's...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    If it's any comfort, they /might/ do the AOR process more quickly since it's been partially checked and the sending-it-back part can take longer. But yes: it starts over. Completeness matters.

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Unfortunately esp about the de-linking. But on the first point: while I don't know of any detailed explanation of the policy for 'urgent processing', they do make clear such cases are 'exceptional.' I think in practice this means for jobs that legally require Canadian citizenship, and this is...

    December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Even if they could do something, I wouldn't expect them to change status to urgent based on a job with no connection to Canada.

    Congrats and thank you for providing your experience, there's a dearth of follow-up where people share the process they went through.
