yes, please include it. Similar thing happened to me. I stayed in a hotel for 2 days. I included the US hotel address in both PR and Citizenship application under address history [I moved here on a work permit].- bond7890

Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide
this is a very common problem. CBSA entries alone are not enough to prove the legal status. Clearly, IRCC could not verify your status. You have 2 options: 1. Reapply once you have enough days on PR alone 2. Send it again with the same info. If accepted, in all likelihood, your file will become...- bond7890

2025 JULY Citizenship applications
They surely do some batch processing, but I think what you are saying makes sense. It’s honestly unfair to be left hanging like this; anyone in your spot would feel exhausted by the wait.- bond7890

2025 JULY Citizenship applications
There are two possible reasons for the delay. 1. Your local office is backed up — oath scheduling depends on the applicant’s location. 2. Your LPP is marked complete, but citizenship has not yet been granted — the file may be “ready for grant” but still waiting for the final decision. The first...- bond7890

Indian passport surrender
I can’t speak for every case, but I can share something very specific based on consistent anecdotal patterns. If your Indian passport was originally issued in Toronto and you submit your surrender application at BLS Toronto, the processing tends to be noticeably faster. This was reinforced today...- bond7890

OCI process
Hi! I’ll soon be submitting my OCI application in person at BLS Toronto and had a few questions: 1. Do I need to submit physical photos with the OCI application, or are the uploaded digital photos enough? 2. For the physical submission, I know the photocopies must be self‑attested. But do I...- bond7890

November 2025 - Citizenship Applications
I received my email on March 27. Depending on the visa office handling your oath, the invitation email is usually sent 7–14 days before the ceremony. You should get yours this week. Make sure to check your spam folder as well. Congratulations, and all the best!- bond7890

Thanks! Yes — IRCC usually sends an email between 24–72 hours explaining the process. But you don’t need to wait for that email. You can register in advance. About a week before your citizenship oath, do the following: 1. Go to the IRCC portal registration page...- bond7890

Indian passport surrender
Hi! I have a couple of questions about the surrender certificate process: 1. Do we need to upload all supporting documents, or only the photo and signature? 2. If documents are to be uploaded, do we need to first attest them, scan and then upload? 2. Is a physical photo required? I’m planning...- bond7890
