Thanks for your reply! The IRCC know I am out of Canada as my current mailing address is not in Canada - long story but I had to apply for citizenship while not in the country although I do, obviously, reach all the criteria for citizenship. I did not have time to let them know the dates I...

Nobody....?

Likely varies a lot depending on visa office that you apply through. I submitted my application in Dublin (which then gets processed through London office) on 23rd of October. I received my passport (picked courier option) with the PRTD in it on the 4th of November. The PRTD is valid from 25th...

Ok - thanks - patience is the name of the game, as usual! No, my citizenship application was based on my actual days spent in Canada. I signed the form Sep 2018. However, PR card needed renewing as citizenship has not fully come through yet so I had to include time spent outside Canada with a...

Seems to be a lot of variation in how long it takes. I was lucky - test taken in Mississauga (Toronto) on the 13th, received invitation to oath ceremony on the 15th with a ceremony date of 4th December. Unfortunately, I can't do the test on that date so have had to write to tell them and am...

Hi there, I got a PRTD recently. It was issued on the 25th of October and is valid until the 24th of January so valid for 3 months. It also specifies that it is valid for multiple entries. I applied from Dublin which goes through the London office. Hope this helps!

Hi, I would follow the checklist and only include what they ask for. For the bank statements etc - I am assuming that this is proof of address? I would just send one or two from each year (e.g. June and December) to show that there was presence that year. Passports - from recall, there is no...

Anyone got a citizenship application in process at same time as PR card renewal? I have and when I try to check on my PR card renewal using the website, it is only showing my citizenship application progress. That being said, the application only arrived at the office this week so I have not...

Assuming he is travelling alone and/or you are not a Canadian citizen? Because time outside Canada accompanied by a Canadian spouse or parent can count towards the residency obligation for PR card.

Also - to clarify- looks like you have a buffer anyway even if the 1,216 days includes the "implied status" days?

Just hopping in as I saw you had no replies. I think that in your position, I would go ahead and put student permit and then include a supplemental sheet with "For question X, please note that for the period between 4 April 2015 and 29 June 2015, I was residing in Canada, awaiting my student...

My two cents - where I had a situation like this, I included a separate piece of paper which I included in the citizenship application explaining each trip in a little more detail. As my original passport is European and the places I had travelled to were also in the EU, I did not have any...

Hi - posted this elsewhere but figure it may warrant its own thread! I have a question (I was over in the September 2018 applicants thread before today!) - has anyone deferred their oath ceremony and, if so, how long before you heard back from them about it? I received an invitation to oath...

I have a question (was over in the September 2018 applicants thread before today!) - has anyone deferred their oath ceremony and, if so, how long before you heard back from them about it? I received an invitation to oath ceremony last Friday (only took the test on Wednesday, 13th!) but I cannot...

Hi there, I would echo this - don't worry too much, they will reschedule. There were several no-shows for my test last week so it's definitely not a unique occurrence. I felt the team were generally quite understanding and nice and am sorry to hear they were rude to you but fingers crossed...

Yes, they were quick! I wonder if it may have been because I had to re-enter Canada on a PRTD (permanent resident travel document - you need one of these if your PR card expires while you are not in Canada) in order to take the test (long story!!) so they figured they better get me sorted out...

Your experience could well be different though.... fingers crossed you get it soon!

I did the test in Mississauga :)

Based on my timeline, I would expect you will get an invitation to the oath ceremony very soon and could take it before the end of the year!

So, sat my test last Wednesday (full marks! :)) and received an invitation to take the oath already (received Friday morning, date of oath - 4th December)! Unfortunately, I can't make that date so emailed them to let them know and got an auto-reply email saying I had to write them a letter to...
