They will write there whatever you put on the PPTC 153 form. Just open it and check out what is asked... in Place of birth section they ask for a city, a country and a state (if any). If you choose India in Country, the state field becomes inactive.

Yes, the status remained the same (Approved... will be available for pick-up on the date indicated on your receipt). I was trying to figure out whether it would eventually change to Printed or not, but couldn't find any info/reports on that. My guess is that only mail-out applications get that...

Hi everybody, I just picked up my passport and wanted to share my timeline: Applied in person: March 15, 2024 Office: Passport Canada, Downtown Montreal (Complexe Guy-Favreau) Service: Regular, 10 business day Scheduled pick up date: April 2, 2024 Application status changed to Approved - March...

Seems like you had your ceremony on March 21st, which means that it's been only 2 business days since then. Standard waiting time is 2-5 business days, so you have nothing to worry about yet.

It's been only 2 days since your ceremony, while the most typical timeframe for a certificate to get available is from 2 to 5 business days. I don't think there's any need to send the same email over and over again. Just wait patiently at least until next Wednesday.

e-certificates are usually available 2-5 business days after the ceremony. It's way too early to get impatient.

There's no such thing as co-application (in the sense you mean it) or sponsorship for citizenship. You both have to qualify for it independently, so you must accumulate 1095 days of physical presence in Canada over the last 5 years, at least 730 days of which should be in PR status. If you both...

"Canadian citizens and residents are eligible for Global Entry benefits through membership in the NEXUS program" https://www.cbp.gov/travel/trusted-traveler-programs/global-entry/eligibility You have to apply for NEXUS.

From my own experience, all the updates (whether real ones or ghosts) happened early in the morning (around 3 am, maybe). I never seen any update or change during the day. I also read that one or two other people noticed the same trend. But even knowing that I still check my tracker a few times...

Hey, have you gotten the invitation email? If yes, is it online or an in-person ceremony?

Everything is very well explained on the official website: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/become-canadian-citizen/citizenship-ceremony.html

It happens all the time, just check others' reports. Very often it's written "LPP completed - XX date (updated on tracker XX+2 date)". And I am sure that most of those who don't mention that, either had a GU and just didn't post that info or didn't even notice a GU. I actually had even two GUs...

Thanks for the info! Any timeline? How long did it take to receive the authorization?

You must have at least 1095 in the last 5 years. This is a very strict rule. If you the Physical presence calculator tells you that you don't have enough days as of today, then you'll have to wait until you get enough days (until at least Dec 26, 2025. There's no point in applying before you're...

Visas are not travel documents. Only passports and things like Refugee travel document are.

CBSA website merely states that you do not need to request your Traveller History Report for the citizenship application. That is, that report is not required to apply for citizenship. However, you are still REQUIRED to enter all your travel dates to the Physical Presence Calculator as a part...

Highly unlikely IRCC would need those, so there's no need to worry. All they care about is if you submitted your tax returns for the years of presence in Canada.

Why do you need them? They aren't usually attached to the citizenship application.

The second one wasn't a ghost update, it was a real one: on December 1st your profile got updated with information that on Nov 29th your BG check had been completed.

Unfortunately, physical presence requirements for citizenship are very strict: you can claim only the days you were physically on Canadian soil. Unlike for PR obligations, there're no exceptions (like accompanying your Canadian spouse), nor H&C grounds that could be taken into consideration...
