April 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
Con:
- Initial expense (Citizenship - 100 + Passport - 120)
- Have to keep renewing both passports every 5 years - Expense and paperwork
A better middle ground would probably be to apply for citizenship, but not a passport (at least till they are 18)
I’m not doing track but anyway I got an oath invite today and scheduled on 28 august finally. No email yet. This journey is almost over!

You can keep only one passport to travel, either Can or US, depending which is easier to renew (obviously Can in Canada, US in US).
Passport has nothing to do with Citizenship, let the kid have double citizenship since it's allowed. Later he/she will decide which is the main one
The only Con I can see is a bit of tax implications after 18 yo, but it is manageable.
Good morning, everyone. I just received the GCMS notes that was ordered on July 7th, 2023. My test and BG check are completed since July 6th, however since then there is no update, still waiting for LPP. As per my notes, primary office is Vancouver, however, the LPP looks like has been assigned to RC8090, which is CPC Sydney office?
For those who received prior email from Vancouver VO, if your file is stuck and pending for LPP review, check and see if the process has been assigned to Sydney. One can only tell from GCMS notes.
Under GCMS notes, it also says E-Grant Review Ready PM01 (Vancouver Citizenship - Paper File). The problem is that my file is electronic not sure why it says paper file.
I wanted to upload the screenshot here but don't know how to do it LOL
You ordered GCMS note to CBSA or IRCC? I am on the same boat my Test was completed on June 23rd, since then no update
I have question, why do people always complain about the delayed processing of immigration requests at the Sydney office? This is completely unfair. Some individuals obtain citizenship in as little as two months, like the Vancouver office, while others wait for years with the Sydney office. Where is the justice in this? And why aren't files from the sluggish Sydney office distributed to other offices?
interesting, keep us posted. Looks like we had the ceremony on the same day, but I haven't received an email yet.
Did you submit the scanned copies along with your application? As per the documentation check list, all the adult applicants should be submitting the scanned copy of all the pages of the passports that are valid for last 5 years. We submitted them along with the application and didn't receive any such request again.
We received the in person citizenship interview request at Kitchener office. They just verified the Passports and other id cards (PR, DL, Health Card), nothing much asked.
