    Citizenship Interview email NOT received

    I had the same frustrating problem for 4 months in a row! Before IRCC sent me a Microsoft Teams online interview invite. Like me, you can also perhaps contact your local MP's office and request that they follow up. Mind you, they can't make the IRCC officer DO anything. They can only find out...

    Applicants in "ALL GREEN ZONE" awaiting CEREMONY

    My application is with the NIagara falls office but they were extremely inefficient in delaying by 4 months emailing me for online interview for some questions related to physical presence whereas regardless of their doubts about 1-2 day trips to the US, I easily qualify as per overall days. I...

    Waiting times for a CIC Case Specific Enquiry

    Well, according to the Globe and Mail article, the Court of Appeal for Ontario gave the disavowal process as a reason why it won't change the oath. That's the word of the highest court of the land. So, one would think it surely exists. I'm sure in a mature democracy like Canada, there is a...

    Waiting times for a CIC Case Specific Enquiry

    Absolutely. My understanding is that there is a republican movement in Canada. Also there are several Canadian citizens such as First Nations people , some French Canadians, with different reasons, who have no regard for the monarchy. Content of the oath isn't known all that well outside of...

    Waiting times for a CIC Case Specific Enquiry

    Because the oath forces me to be loyal to a sovereign monarch and I've absolutely no intention of following that in practice. Like others before me, I find oath to a queen or king anachronistic in 2020. But of course, I will be loyal to Canada as a nation. I'm finding out what options exist...
