Hi all, does anyone have an experience where while their Canadian citizenship application is in progress, move to the US? Did they grant citizenship while in the US? Right now the test and ceremony are all online so there is really no difference if I am in Canada or US. I have a work opportunity to move by I am afraid my application will get too long or even be denied, could anyone please share if you have a similar experience? Really appreciate it ...
If I may ask, did you sever ties with Canada tax purposes after moving to the US for the tax year you applied for citizenship which I’m guessing is 2023.
I’m not sure if this will have negative impact on the application and looking for insight.

Have you gotten your citizenship grant yet?

I’ll appreciate your feedback. Thanks.

I got my Canadian PP 5 days ago. Successfully I was able to enter USA with old H1B and Canadian passport. My H1B is approved with Indian Citizenship. Welcome to answer any question you have.
I didn’t show my Indian passport, didn’t mention to officer that I changed my nationality. Simply showed Canada passport and I797 copy and told that I am going to work in USA on H1B. He approved it without asking any question
Hi - I will be in same boat in next 3-4 weeks. Question is- were you able to get your Canadian passport through urgent (next day pickup) processing and what travel proof did you present? Also- were you able to update citizenship on Nexus card through their website or do we actually have to reapply for Nexus?
