Yes. And they double and triple checked where I have been

I am still being directed to the secondary at the border. They are not even asking where I have been at this point (I have not gone back to the country I sought asylum from, or anywhere close, and that country does share intel with Canadian authorities). The officer told me they did everything...

I am using a Canadian passport to enter Canada. Border officers believed that I am a citizen right away... Just it's annoying that I have to go to secondary

No, I was told that my citizenship status probably did not get updated in the system. I assume she was referring to GCMS? They let me go right away after checking my passport.

Whenever I fly back to Canada, with a Canadian passport, I get called to secondary because those e-kiosks at airport are giving me the "X" declaration printout. I have been a citizen for almost a year. It's not a big deal, but spending extra 20 minutes after flying for hours is not fun. First...

My friend's application is not moving to completed and he had an oath on the 8th. Did your wife's online application status is now complete?

Well, they said it was an error. I had to wait another 6 months to get invited.

I just read your case. Do whatever you can do. I think you have a decent chance IF the background check is completed at this stage but you need to be able to explain to them why you can't travel to the UK with a Canadian travel document. Explain that Passport Canada is taking weeks to process...

Waiting may not work. You need to make them to read. And frankly that's very challenging. Whoever invited me for the test and verified my result did not bother reading it even though it was there. If it's really urgent do whatever you can do to make them to read. But, if this case is not...

Montreal office but honestly, if you are dealing with one of the big IRCC offices, there will be some people working in person and printing the citizenship certificates. Therefore it should be theoretically possible to pick it up in person. It is up to you to convince them. I am not sure if all...

I needed to travel because of death or serious illness in the family and I could not get a passport. They did ask if I can apply for one of the travel documents from Passport Canada. Passport Canada is not currently issuing them unless it's an emergency and I think the agent concluded that would...

I was able to pick up the certificate exactly one hour after the oath was done. Still in progress on the tracker so I guess it takes time to update. Applied in July 2019 Invited for the test in May 2021 but cancelled by IRCC Asked for urgent processing in July 2021 Invited for the test in Sep...

If they grant or refuse, there will be a note.

Call centre agents can read the note. If they say they can't, for some reason that agent isn't helping you out. Call again.

Now I am worried. I am also a UP case. 7 days to mail the certificate? I am leaving the country within 8 days from the oath.. :(

I can't find any postings here. Where did you hear about it?

My oath is on the 29th of November. UP approved. I am debating if I should book the ticket leaving about 10 days after the oath. I know it's a gamble but that's the only date cheap enough to go. Other dates cost at least 1.5 times. My passport application guarantor is willing to accompany me to...

Is it possible to pick up the citizenship certificate after the oath in Montreal?

Anyone also from Montreal? I am wondering if I can pick up the certificate right after the oath.

I asked to expedite my application back in July! So it took about 4 months for them to finally realize something is off.
