    review required

    My guess is that the junior officer cannot make a decision and requires the senior officer to do a thorough review of the case. I alao got a Review Required on my PR as well, and when I read the GCMS notes, I was because of my foreign experience. I then sent them a web form to explain and...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Not necessarily! My friend in Vancouver also had that same response and his new date is 3 weeks from the old one, so I say, don't overthink it just yet!

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Hi there! Absolutely! You will return on April 16, which is very close to the initial date. You can mention briefly that you are in your home country to care for your sick mother, that you'd like to go back to attend the ceremony but it would be a financial burden for you, etc. Then you clearly...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    Yes, I've seen it. And as people discuss this, they say that this might be an indicator of a non-routine application. I'm not sure about this. You can call IRCC and apply for the GCMS notes to see if there is any additional information for your case.

    Delayed - After I Changed online-Oath(zoom) to in-person Oath ( Vancouver )

    Now I know several cases around me, I don't think that they purposefully delay to give us a new date (just my thought, I don't have proof haha). My coworker requested to change from in-person to virtual and they responded after several hours. Her new date is 1-week after the old one! Keep in...

    Delayed - After I Changed online-Oath(zoom) to in-person Oath ( Vancouver )

    To me, ghost updates are usually an indicator of something happening on the backend. My case is slightly different! After they invited me for the virtual oath, I requested an in-person one. The next day, they responded with a new date. And several days later, I saw that new date on the tracker...

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    My assumption is that they are gathering enough people to organize the ceremony! I read on some groups on Facebook about this (this was communicated to them via a call with IRCC)

    AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

    March 2026 - Citizenship Applications

    Why do you care so much about that bill? Why does it matter that much? If it does, will you still apply anyway?

    RESCHEDULING YOUR OATH CEREMONY

    Hi, I don't know of such things. To be honest, at our ceremony, they didn't even ask if I wanted the paper certificate or e-certificatw. Everyone was getting the paper one in the in-person ceremony. So I think it really depends on your ceremony type. If in person, most likely you'll have a...
