You'd need to take your case number as a reference. How do you know it's a FP request? It could be a request for documents.

It can take days to months. If your background checks are completed when you've taken the tests, you're likely to get a quick DM. Sometimes the background checks aren't done before the test is taken, so it's just a matter of waiting.

Yes, all applications are first screened in the Sydney office before being sent on to a local office for processing.

Yes, or the closest processing office.

You should be okay if you have sufficient enough of a buffer in your presence calculation. Unfortunately, some of the border records on both the US and CDN side can be lacking, so that could cause you a little headache if you don't have a good buffer. Best to just not worry about it unless you...

I think what you're asking is if your son carries citizenship from your native country? In some cases, it will depend on the country, whereas in some countries your son is considered a citizen by decent because you were born in that country. What country are you from?

When you say that the officer wanted more information, do you mean that they just asked you some questions about it or did they say they needed more documentation?

I went so far as to email my MP a while ago about this and have received nothing. lol

It goes into a queue that can take months to start.

It's fine to declare items in the NEXUS lines.

But you had to travel back for the test and oath ceremony, right?

She could have had a one way ticket and it still shouldn't have been a concern of this person! This certainly was a good one to have been reported to a supervisor.

Yes, you made the right choice.

They have been sending oath and test invitations via email unless the applicant didn't supply an email address. There are other, trackable, ways to send your passport application without CP, if you can't drop it off in person. I would hope that they are using courier service to send them back...

Yes, you can come across a land crossing into Canada with your citizenship certificate. If you have NEXUS, get that updated and you can use it.

Everyone has to sign one. If you didn't bring it with you, they'd have one for you to sign.

If you're looking to update your email address, wait until you have AOR and then use eCAS to change your contact info. If you don't have access to the email address you supplied on the application, just check eCAS periodically to see if you have AOR, as the notification will likely come via...

While I've always been in the camp of supplying only what is asked for, when it's requested, there was someone that sent their FP without a request from IRCC, just because they would possibly be away when the request came in. It worked for them. I still wouldn't do it, though.

Book your trip, advise them of the dates of travel via the webform, and hope for the best. It's what IRCC say you should do in this case, but as you can see by the post just before yours, they don't always pay attention and schedule accordingly. I wouldn't worry about an FP or document request...

If you pay the fee, they will process it faster. Have your travel plans handy and apply in person at a Passport Canada office. In my son's case, we only paid $20 extra to be able to pick it up in 10 business days. That is a guaranteed service.
