Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

Hey all, I submitted mine last day of December and then my application was sent back to me because of my photo. I have submitted with the new photo. Does anyone know how long it’s going to take them now to get back to me? Is it another 3 months?

If they sent it back, it starts over.

Oh no….!!!! It’s was just one piece though!!

If it's any comfort, they /might/ do the AOR process more quickly since it's been partially checked and the sending-it-back part can take longer.

But yes: it starts over. Completeness matters.

It’s frustrating because there was an issue with the photo and not at all my fault, some shiny spots on the face… anyways, I redid and submitted the digital one with a bunch of pictures from the front and back of the physical one. So hopefully all good this time

Anyone submitted their citizenship while being a daily commuter between US and Canada?

Look for threads for this exact situation. Many do, it's mostly about keeping a precise journal of your daily crossings, report every single one in the physical presence section (yeah, it's tedious, still needs to be done) and, highly recommended, keep a healthy buffer over 1095 days.

If you have a reference, could you please share the link?
I am planning to have buffer of 16 days on top (1111) days. Do you think that will be sufficient
Also I am seeing this biometrics, I am not sure what is that because I am planning to leave Canada after filling my application
