Hello everyone,

May I request anyone who has a copy of the above form (Form CIT-0039, Prohibitions Under the Citizenship Act) to kindly post a copy on this forum. This is the form that some people are receiving along with their Test/Oath Invite. It is required to be signed before one can take the Oath of Citizenship.

Thank you, and best regards
wbmaple

Anyone have this form?
The one you receive contains your application number and name and other personal details. But all is you declaring that none of the following apply to you. If they do, there will be other processing required for your application (non-routine from that point on) but most of it is black and white( aka if it applies to you, you will be denied).
  • are on parole or on probation or serving a term of imprisonment in Canada
  • are serving a sentence outside Canada
  • are charged with, on trial for, or involved in an appeal for an offence under the Citizenship Act, or an indictable offence in Canada,
  • are charged with, on trial for, or involved in an appeal for an offence committed outside Canada that is determined to be equivalent to an indictable offence in Canada
  • are under a removal order (Canadian officials have asked you to leave Canada)
  • are being investigated for, are charged with, on trial for, involved in an appeal for or have been convicted of a war crime or a crime against humanity
  • have had a citizenship application refused for misrepresentation in the past five years
  • have had your Canadian citizenship revoked (taken away) because of fraud in the past ten years
  • have been convicted of an indictable offence in Canada or an offence under the Citizenship Act in the four yearsbefore you apply
  • have been convicted outside Canada of an offence that is determined to be equivalent to an indictable offence in Canada in the four years before you apply, even if you were pardoned or otherwise granted amnesty for the offence,
  • have been convicted of terrorism, high treason, treason, or spying offences while you were a permanent resident,
  • served as a member of an armed force of a country or organized armed group and that country or group engaged in armed conflict with Canada, while you were a permanent resident, or
  • never met or no longer meet the requirements for a grant or resumption of citizenship.
If you applied for a grant or resumption before June 11, 2015, these prohibitions would apply to you. However, if you have been convicted in Canada of an indictable offence or an offence under the Citizenship Act you would be prohibited in the three years before you apply, rather than four as listed above.

People who have had their citizenship revoked can never apply for resumption of citizenship.

If any of the above situations apply to you, you should wait until the situation no longer applies before you make an application for citizenship.
