    Last June i received passport after the 10 days of applying at Edmonton passport office. It was regular processing. Chances of getting the oath ceremony date preponed are almost nil. However, you can get it postponed. I did that last year.

    Send an email to the IRCC office processing your application. Chances of getting the oath date are rather remote. However, they will easily postpone it if you request for it. No you can't travel with your citizenship certificate only to the USA or any other country. It's not a travel document...

    If your spouse had English as one of the subjects at higher secondary level/medium of instructions was English in degree or even diploma level education, that's good enough. Country in which such a certificate was obtained is irrelevant.

    Yes, it's devastating to get refusal. It's better to overcome the initial shock at the earliest and draw solace from countless number of similar cases. You don't need to hire a lawyer or a consultant to win an appeal. Many people on this forum, including me, won the appeal on our own. Go...

    I submitted webform once for getting confirmation that they received my updated forms and PCC. Bothering them with frequent inquiries is counterproductive. And MP is of no help. Just wait for email or message from your VO.

    Security screening is part of background checks. Would IRCC grant immigration to someone without making sure he/she is not a threat to Security? In some cases this screening can take a longer time due to several reasons.

    My knowledge about HKVO is based on the information my wife passes on to me. She is on a Chinese forum. So everyone in that forum deals with HKVO. She told me after we won the appeal that getting visa would take about 5 months. I had been telling her that our case could take longer as there was...

    Thanks. No, they didn't ask for biometerics. I think only those who applied after a certain date have to give biometerics.
