Not saying IRCC are in the right here, but they do specifically say not to apply right as you become eligible and to leave some time so that small differences or errors in calculation don’t affect the application. This is probably one of those issues that crop up which honestly could’ve been...

Keep in mind that if you have a visa exempt passport, you can still leave without getting your passport and return using a special authorization. You don’t even need your certificate to apply for it, you just need to have been granted citizenship by the time you plan to return. More info at...

You definitely do not need your certificate to prove this. You apply online and tell them when you became a citizen and they look up your information, and then send you the authorization by email several days before hand.

It is worthless because it cannot be used for anything at all yet it's a document that holds personal information about you and so can be possibly used against you. You cannot use it for proof of identity, you cannot use it to apply for social benefits, you cannot even use it to obtain a library...

No

I can guarantee you this is not true at all, COPR is not an IMM 1000. You do not need your COPR later in life. The canadian government is more than capable of knowing when you arrived for the sake of old age benefits. And from the oath letter: So, no, you don't need your COPR. If they asked you...

You don't need your COPR. It is a worthless document after you have received your PR card.

For a question as nuanced as this, it's absolutely necessary. The only alternative is to speak to a lawyer or an immigration official directly to make 100% sure of the situation which best applies to you. It may come as a surprise to you, but immigration law is a hideously complicated topic of...

TN is much easier to get than H1b but it is not dual intent, needs to be renewed each year, and you can be denied on renewal if the border guard thinks you’re trying to use it as a de facto permanent visa. Usually companies will get you in on TN to get you working for them and then immediately...

Yes.

I don't think there is any issue with getting the citizenship cert sent to a foreign address, as long as you're physically in the country when you take the oath. At least it doesn't appear that way anyway judging by all the material in the oath letter and online. You're a US citizen too so it's...

Do you have a source for these estimates? IRCC do specifically say to let them know if you'll be back in the country in less than the 6month hold time, implying that they will schedule at the soonest opportunity as long as you let them know in good time.

This is just a small point, but if you are outside Canada and you have already been granted citizenship (lets say you took the oath and then cut your PR card and then left Canada), you are still eligible for entry to Canada regardless of whether you have yet physically received your citizenship...

Don’t listen to them when they blame it on the tracker. The tracker doesn’t arbitrarily make random dates up, an actual person 100% entered it incorrectly into the system.

Oath ceremony scheduled for 26 November 2021. The Vancouver office finally started moving.

How would they ever know you weren’t staying at your friends address in that time?

No progress almost 4 months after DM. Vancouver office seems MIA.

He should be the guy cleaning the floors of parliament and showing everyone to their seats. So basically no different to any of the other politicians.

Nobody knows. I’ve been waiting almost 3 months since DM and it’s been radio silence.

This isn’t unexpected. IRCC clearly have the capability to expedite an application and will probably only refuse to if they are severe delays outside of their direct control (security screening). It makes no sense to fight all mandamus cases, may as well just settle when a lawyer gets involved.
