[Ms T.]

Attended the citizenship ceremony on April 28. Now a proud Canadian citizen! Good luck to all who are still in the process!

Sooo still no update since Nov 19th and starting to feel annoyed by this, called IRCC and they just told me to wait.

I can understand, I am in the same situation. I have called them twice by now & submitted 2 webforms but no updates whatsoever. Is your case processing centre - Sydney ?

As far as I understand, they can. You can get the application for a new passport from here New Passport Application. Open it, go to page number 6 section J "Declaration of Guarantor". All the requirements are listed there. If you are still unsure, give service Canada a call.

Hope this helps.

I have no idea if Sydney is my processing center. I received an update last week and my test was scheduled for June 26th. I passed the test today so let’s see how long it takes for the next step.
