    Dual Citizenship - Bill C-24

    No one can say for sure. When the conservatives came into power, not many expected them to make profound changes to citizenship in bill C-24. So it will depend on the immigration policy of whoever wins the elections.

    Informed by CIC that the local office is reviewing my explanation to reschedule the oath ceremony da

    Seriously, it will come down to the compassion of the deciding officer. A business trip might not be a good enough reason to reschedule. Here is an extract from a federal court of appeal case about this topic which should serve as caution to those who take rescheduling their oath as something...

    Taking toddler to the oath ceremony

    Again, you don't need a babysitter, a nanny or worry about where to place your kid. Take her with you, as you enter the hall, they will tell you, if the child becomes disruptive, one of the parent needs to stay with her outside until it's time for oath and then they will call the parent back to...

    Taking toddler to the oath ceremony

    It's fine, you can take your toddler with you. However, you have to ensure she stays quiet. In the event she becomes loud, they will just ask one of you to wait outside and call you back when it's time to do the oath.

    Fair enough. I take back my "ill-informed" comment.

    not sure if I'm eligible... please help

    Then why does IRCC bother with RQs when there is doubt about physical presence if it can simply see the exits. This topic has been cited many times in federal cases, here is an extract from one of those cases in 2018. By the way I copied and pasted it as is, I did not type "NOT" in all caps.

    not sure if I'm eligible... please help

    Check your facts before making ill-informed statements. 1. CBSA has the entry records not IRCC. 2. As of today exits are not recorded or else everyone's life would've been easier. This will change with Bill C-21 and CBSA will have exit information collected through electronic passenger manifests...

    about passport page in citizenship application

    Bad suggestion. You don't want to overwhelm them by sending all pages, something they don't ask for. Verification of entries and exits is done at the interview or when an RQ is sent. At this point, they only want the bio page of a passport for identity verification.

    about passport page in citizenship application

    This is what the checklist "cit0007e-2" mentions: "Photocopies of biographical pages of passports and/or travel documents covering the five (5) years immediately before the date of your application. If these documents are not in your possession, provide an explanation in question #14 on the...

    Rescheduling Citizenship Ceremony - What's the delay ?

    The reason why I always say that unless it's a medical emergency then oath (or test) should never be re-scheduled. even if it means you have to sacrifice thousands of dollars. It would be a small price to pay for something so utterly important for the rest of your life.

    Citizenship Interview

    Nothing wrong with divorcing, but evidently there is something in your notes that drew the attention of the officer which could or could not be related to your marital status. As others have mentioned, if everything is in order you have nothing to fear.

    Citizenship Interview

    I understand you are seeking re-assurance, but truth is; it doesn't look good. How long after becoming PR did you re-marry? Do you have children from your first marriage?

    Decision made for two months but no update

    I thought once a decision is made, the oath immediately follows. I guess there is also a queue for oath.
