Hello,

I applied for Citizenship application on 19 Jan 2026. Mistakenly i paid 630 cAD$ fees, which used to be previous fees, instead of 649.75 CAd $.
I got an email on 27 March about missing information, when i log in to my application it took me to fees page. I immediately paid the remaining amount of 19.75 and upload the receipt. after that i saved my applciation. Question is

1. I dont see any submit button, except that i can save it
2. how long usually CIC officer check again if the fees has been paid or not and to issue me AOR

Please help me with your feedback

I'm a little weird. Canada decided to retroactively make me a Citizen from birth under C-3. This means I'm applying for proof of Citizenship, not the Citizenship itself, and it means that I'm no longer a Permanent Resident.

Sounds good

I applied Citizenship today on 06 April 2026. Another year of checking this forum begins from tourist visa to Student visa to work permit to work permit extension to work permit rejection to ITA to PR application submission to Visitor Record to Visitor Record extension to PR approval to eCOPR to PR card a few years ago.
