    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    All I can say is that it's quite incoherent. There's clearly some assumption plugged in there that makes no sense.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Last month, there were fully five month-cohorts listed as two months remaining, which is of course impossible.

    Advise on renewal of PR when residency obligations are met with a gap.

    I do not know (and I doubt it's known for certain exactly) which criteria they use to decide who is required to pick-up their PR card in person. It is possible - given your absence of two+ years and limited 'current' evidence of residing in Canada - that they'd ask you to do a pickup. But also...

    I missed my canadian citizenship ceremony

    I do not fully understand this but if you have told them that you're out of Canada, they probably will not schedule a new one until you advise that you are in Canada (or possibly of a planned date of arrival).

    Can you enter Canada with your electronic citizenship certificate

    Not as a travel document, no - or in practical terms, you cannot use it to board a plane. You could use it to enter Canada at a land border.

    Interview updated in Tracker but never got official invite

    Call IRCC and ask again, with no invitation. It's in two days. I seem to recall there being cases where an interview was scheduled and cancelled (for whatever reason, possibly someone deciding not needed) - but you should not rely on that.

    French citizens considering Canada – question about Québec vs federal immigration

    I wrote in your other thread. If you are indeed planning to move to Canada in the coming weeks, I think you would be far better to consider moving first to a province other than Quebec first and getting the lay of the land. Ottawa is good in your case because you can work across the river in...

    Atterrissage à Montréal alors que ma ville de destination déclarée est Ottawa – Y a-t-il un risque avec les agents d’immigration ?

    Personellement, pas expert etc, si c'est dans les prochaines semaines, je considère plus approprié (et moins de risques) de s'installer à Ottawa (ou du moins en Ontario ou autre province que Québec). -Pas de problème en arrivant à Montréal, tel que discuté. -Tu peux absolument sans aucun risque...

    Can an Application Be Returned as Incomplete After Receiving AOR?

    Basically, no. Your phrasing here is a bit confusing - after AOR (as far as I'm aware) they have accepted it for processing and will not return it (for resubmission as incomplete). But they can ask for additional information, clarifications, documentation, etc - and that might include asking...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    If your file is 2023, I think you should not be shy about considering mandamus.

    October 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    My mistake! Seem to have misread which thread, I was thinking 2025 app. Listened to this podcast about mandamus and the CSIS report, may or may not be directly relevant, but also give an idea of lawyers that work on mandamus (if you haven't chosen yet)...

    Inquiry Regarding Transfer of Spousal Sponsorship Application File to Canada

    They can move files around to simply balance workloads at different locations. Nothing to worry about.

    3 years tax returns filing?

    Yes, it counts. There's no minimum income requirement or anything of the sort.

    Citizenship Backlog Surge 2026

    Your question has nothing to do with the rest of this thread. Start a thread or ask it somewhere that makes sense

    October 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    We're march and still basically the same - I reckon too early for lawyer, but will be interested in hearing experiences of others.

    Spousal Sponsorship

    I'm not sure that this is the case. There is an IRCC manual somewhere that refers to this, that in cases (some at least) where marriages are completed later, this must be considered. That said: I do not know if it applies to this specific case, nor whether it's practical (if it can be done with...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    On language not being shown as completed: I believe I've seen in many cases is that language itself may not be the issue, and that it seems that IRCC simply doesn't bother taking the step of clearing language in the system (at least in such a way that it appears in the tracker). Notably, I'm...

    Interview suddenly added to my tracker on the same day as my ceremony — anyone seen this before?

    Never heard of similar, would suggest contacting IRCC by phone to ask.

    Spousal sponsorship

    Are both the divorce certificates dated BEFORE your marriage to your spouse? If not, they are telling you your marriage is not recognized. You may need a lawyer (see below), but what you'll really need is to get married again. If they are both dated before the marriage, then you need a lawyer...
