    Eligibility

    The PR doesn't expire (as long as you've been here for 2 years out of 5), only the card does. So sure, renew it if needed.

    Eligibility

    Well, I can't speak of whether the waiver will be approved, I'm not a medical professional and I didn't have access to your proof. But what's for sure is that this depends on the merits of your waiver request... For the rest, nothing to add to what I told you in a previous thread...

    Work and school form for citizenship

    As @armoured said, no harm in disclosing. If you're hesitating over how to fill that section, just be exhaustive and list everything.

    Eligibility

    Yes, except prohibitions, which is more of a generic term including everything than can prohibit someone from becoming a citizen (and includes background, language, test and physical presence). Seems lime you're one citizenship test away from being scheduled for oath.

    Canada Citizenship: Enter details of all your employment and education history in the past 5 years (your eligibility period)

    It doesn't matter really. Both are acceptable. Pick one and move on, IRCC doesn't care much.

    PCC for Citizenship

    The PCC question and the address history are completely separate. If you didn't leave in a country for 183 days in a row in the past 4 years, a PCC isn't required as part of a complete application. Please note that IRCC is always free to ask for any document they want during the processing...

    The Government of Canada introduces citizenship by descent legislation for Canadians

    Good to know, and I am not familiar with US citizenship law. Thank you. One amendment I would like to see would be the replacement of "1095 days spent in Canada", somewhat akin to the precise calculations for the citizenship grant physical presence check, by something like "3 years total...

    The Government of Canada introduces citizenship by descent legislation for Canadians

    I'd like to see how they will verify this "1095 days before the child is born". For citizenship grant, quite easy, people take note of their trips and it's recent data from CBSA, but what about someone who was born outside the country to Canadian citizen, came back as a baby, before the family...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Huge congrats. I know people who applied a month or 2 after you did (AOR end of July) and they're stuck in BG. This gives me hope they're actually getting close to the finish line.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    There are people who have been waiting 2 years since their test. You're still significantly under the current average processing time, which should be your expectation, and no movement 100 days after test isn't all that uncommon, both in Ontario and elsewhere. Feel free to contact IRCC or your...

    Citizenship

    Waivers take time. Sometimes a significant time: many months, potentially years. Here's a thread, for example, of people going through medical waivers : some had to wait for years ...

    Citizenship

    There is nothing we can say here that will be practical to you. We don't know how it went with the hearing, so... Just wait for the hearing decision. It will come at some point. Absolute worst case : you didn't prove enough knowledge of Canada, the dedicion is negative, and you can reapply...

    Application of Minor

    Neither. 5(1) requires physical presence and 5(2) requires the Canadian citizenship of a parent. Your options : let the kid accumulate 3 years of physical presence, or apply under 5(2) after your oath. Also, you may want to contact IRCC and see if there's a way to add a new 5(2) application to...

    Family filed citizenship application together but might need to attend oath separately

    If the kids are below 14, they don't need to attend the ceremony. Just be there yourself and you and the kids will become Canadians. Your wife will then be invited to a new ceremony,which she better not miss, as she only has 2 chances, and be ready to be patient, a reschedule may take months.

    Is my application on hold because of my wife's application?

    Euh, there's only one method to call them, and their phone number is easily found online. But speaking with an agent isn't necessarily easy, as they deal with a huge amount of calls every day. Takes some luck. I believe sending a webform would be more effective to at least be sure to reach IRCC.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Probably not. IRCC mostly cares about establishing physical presence in Canada. They may feel that the couple days in Germany or Czech Republic while leaving in Netherlands potentially ask for a Dutch PCC, and maybe not, but I highly doubt they'll put much scrunity over something as common as an...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    The physical presence and the PCC section are completely separate and IRCC is aware that people can visit many countries at once when they leave Canada, although they ask to only list the first country in the physical presence. As for residence, people usually only list the main addresses there...

    Citizenship application

    I can't speak of the parole thing, will leave it to experienced members, but please note that waivers can take a long time, and you only applied 4 months ago or so, so, patience is key...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Well, for a complete application, no, he doesn't. In the physical presence part, make sure to specify that part of the trip was spent elsewhere (in the single Netherlands entry). However, IRCC can ask for it afterwards if they think they need one.
