July 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Chilling.Lion]

Sorry for the delay. It was returned due to an inability to verify my temporary resident time as part of my physical residence calculation. It took a while to make that decision--I submitted the first application in Sep 2021, and got the red letter in June 2023. Thankfully, I got a follow-up email saying to re-apply if I have enough days and mark it urgent for priority processing. Fingers crossed it won't take nearly two years just to get a decision made.

Best of luck on your second application, I think they will process it pretty fast!

Team, I need a small help. My wife is planning to apply for the citizenship with my minor son. Aparently according to the online application website it seems now an adult + minor can apply online together. It is saying "with minor(s), start by creating an adult application. You can add minor application(s) later", but so far we could not able to find any option to "add minor application" while filling up the adult application. We can create a separate "MINOR 5(1) APPLICATION" but there is no option to combine them. Can anyone please provide some direction ?

Yes, you need to do that We can create a separate "MINOR 5(1) APPLICATION" but there is no option to combine them.

If anybody has the documents checklist, can you please provide it here? for both Adults and minor children.

Between, I am wondering what to do if I don't have my original IELTS form which expired in 2020. Can I still add the scanned document as proof of language? or do I need to add WES digital copy or my original degree certificate from my home country?

Question: on the application, there is a question: Have you ever held immigration or citizenship status other than Canada? This should include US H1B as worker status right if you had been in the US on H1B?

Include H1b as previously held worker status and do not forget to include your country of origin as citizenship status as well.

H1B is not a immigration status. Just a Visa.
