    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    for me it changed the next business day, maybe it will change tomorrow for you. You need 2-3 business days for your name to go in the system for passport canada. I believe they have a 24 or 48h urgent passport request (for an additional fee). I don't know if that still applies for first time...

    For example, if you select October applications tab, u can hover over Column B of the spreadsheet and u'll see an arrow, select that and click on Sort Sheet A -> Z. then all the locations will be in alphabetical order and you can go down to the location of your choice

    You must hand back your PR card at the oath ceremony, they take it and keep it with them. Then you need to wait 2-3 business days before applying for a passport.

    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    Yea absolutely, sorry if i misinterpreted your reasoning. I think they could definitely use more resources, the amount of applicants is probably the highest in the country, since the Mississauga office also serves Brampton. I would say the average might still be close to 80% which is why it's...

    The spreadsheet is not representative at all. There are about 110 entries from Mississauga. There are 2 ceremonies almost every day in Mississauga and each ceremony probably seats about 100 people. So when you take that into consideration, you can imagine how many applications they have right...

    Tough to say.. if your application hasn't passed the one year deadline, there's nothing much you can do

    The reason why APEGA, like all the other engineering licensing bodies across the provinces, make u do additional tests, is because they have no idea what was taught in the courses at your university. It's impossible for them to acknowledge that what you did is equivalent to what's taught here in...

    Dear friends, I have received the Oath invitation for November 22nd. My 10 year journey from International student, to permanent resident, to becoming a proud Canadian citizen will be completed. The feeling is overwhelming to say the least, it is a great privilege to be able to call myself a...

    This is not completely true. Yes it depends on the agent, but in the sense that, u might get an agent that will invite u to write the test BEFORE your background checks are done. Or you might get an agent that will do that AFTER your background checks are done. In the first case, DM won't appear...

    If you risk losing your job because of the citizenship application lengthy processing time, you can ask your employer to write a letter stating so and IRCC might treat your application as Urgent. Otherwise, there's no telling how long it might take, but if i was in your situation i would tell my...

    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    There's nothing you can do really. The 12 months deadline is not enforceable, they say it's a guideline for processing 80% of the applications. If you look at the October spreadsheet, almost 70% of the applicants from mississauga have DM. That's not including people that have not updated their...

    Mississauga Citizenship Applicants

    I was lucky to have a very nice agent on the phone back in July when i called. She informed me that my background checks were completed in early June. This helps because if a year has passed and your background checks and everything else is done, then when u call they will send an email to move...

    Do you know if your background checks are done? (i.e. Did u order notes or maybe the agent told you something about them?)
