    Prepaid return envelope

    Hi, I submitted my citizenship application in 2019 and now I’m helping my friend - she’s applying by paper. I kind of remember including a second envelope in my envelope with my application but now I’m not sure why I included it and if she must also include a prepaid envelope with her...

    Translation of each stamp in passport?

    Hi, just a quick question regarding passport stamps when applying and sending my citizenship application. Do we have to have an official translation of each stamp which is not in English or French? Thank you!

    Yes I did. I needed to translate stamps from Peru, Mexico, Cuba, Croatia and some other countries. I used these guys - https://www.languagesim.com/ and it took only about 4 days in total to have it translated.

    Which address to send passport application?

    No but I selected “in-person” pick up for extra $20. That’s how little I trust in Canada Post which would be free if I let them send it to my home address but I prefer to pick it up in person. Canada Post has lost some of my mail previously.

    Which address to send passport application?

    So the government does it confusing once again. In the instruction section on canada.ca it says that the passport application needs to be send to Gatineau, QC (non-courier) however in the actual PDF appplication, it says to send it to Mississauga, ON (non-courier). So the question is... to...

    Has anyone received help from their MP in getting IRCC to do their jobs?

    I contacted my MP three times in the past 6 or so months... Filled the form once and then their email answer (from my MP's personal assistant) was basically only "you must be patient, there is covid-19 but IRCC is working on your application". I doubt anybody has received any real help, they...

    November - 2019 Citizenship Applications

    I took my oath earlier today. I was reconnected back 4 times on Zoom as Telus Fibre optic (or possibly their connection) wasn't the best. Be prepared to wait for 10 minutes in the waiting room on Zoom. I also didn't know we must read the oath in French as well so be prepared to read it in both...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    FYI we are super soft guys… just look at Twitter and hashtags #mycitizenship or #clear_citizenship_backlog which should have been used to “storm” CIC in the past. There are only about 3 people constantly using these… or is there any other hashtag trending that I’ve missed?

    So I've lived in Canada since 2014 and yeah I've had about 20 absences... But in the past 10 years since I was 18, I've travelled into approx 40 countries. IRCC has this info as I've told them when applying for PR and I believe they also needed this list when applying for citienship (I'm not...
