    Canadian Passport in person timeline

    Yes, they give you a receipt when you get your passport. You can name someone to do it on the receipt. They need to show an ID.

    I am a naturalized citizen - my child will likely be born overseas - will they get citizenship?

    Yes, I believe that your child will automatically be Canadian citizen, but if they have a child outside of Canada then that child won't be Canadian.

    Multiple Citizenship Through Acquisition

    Hello, My family acquired Canadian citizenship recently. We are now dual US/Canadian citizens. I was doing some research last week and found out that my partner and our children are actually able to be citizens of a European country, due to how one of their parents left during the communist...

    From Being a Refugee to Becoming a Dual Citizen – University Student Facing Troubles with Travelling (upcoming internship please help)

    They have some really good information. In general the consensus seems to be that once you're a Canadian citizen you can go anywhere you want. But because you had refugee status in the past there's something in the system that flags you when you cross the border, so that's why the border guards...

    From Being a Refugee to Becoming a Dual Citizen – University Student Facing Troubles with Travelling (upcoming internship please help)

    This is such a specific and complicated case. Lawyers are expensive, but a a good lawyer should be able to get this figured out and cleared up. While we initially were scared about the price of our lawyer, but the $150 for a half an hour talk was the best money we ever spent. WAY WAY better...

    Informing IRCC when leaving Canada while application is in progress

    No I didn't submit the forms because I didn't think I was leaving long enough to justify notifying them. I also didn't have an interview. I think if you're working for a Canadian employer that's probably a pretty easy thing to document should anything come up. But your company should have a...

    July 2022 Citizenship Applications

    Yes. Their application in the online tracker said "not started" for just about everything, while my partner's was updated to complete for almost everything. Yesterday, a week after our oath, their online tracker (along with mine and my partners) were all updated to complete, saying that they...

    Informing IRCC when leaving Canada while application is in progress

    I left Canada twice before my oath, once for 6 weeks just after we submitted the application and once for 3 weeks, arriving back to Canada a few days before the oath. Our whole process, from application to oath was really quick - only 5 months, which I know is not the norm. But in both instances...

    "Loading... / Chargement..." issue in tracker

    Anyone else experiencing this? I have my oath in a couple of days and tried logging into the tracker and it stays stuck at "Loading..." Same thing happening with my partners account. We were in the USA for a couple of weeks and I checked the account from there. I wonder if maybe it's...

    Hi Everyone, Has anyone here ever travelled to the US after their oath ceremony before they get their Canadian passport and then traveled back to Canada on the US passport via a land border? Our oath in on January 10th, and we need to be in the US for a meeting on the 12th in a town just over...

    July 2022 Citizenship Applications

    Everything just reverted back to "Complete" and the tracker for my partner and I now says that my Citizenship Ceremony is scheduled for January 6. All the statuses for our child still say "In Progress." My understanding is that kids under 14 don't need to attend the oath, correct? Will they...

    Statuses reverted?

    Phew. My partner and I had everything completed on Friday except the oath and today it's all at "In Progress." Hoping it's not too big of a glitch.

    June 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

    This just happened to me as well, but the test also went back to "In Progress"! This happened to both my application and my partner's application. However, the ECAS still says "Decision Made" for both of our applications. Craziness! All I could do was laugh at the uncertainty of it all. Also...
