July 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[andreynitro]

Hey everyone. For question 13 in the citizenship application, did you also mention all the visit visas you've had since birth? I only mentioned my current citizenship for that question.

Yes, I did the same initially, but then followed up through web form and mentioned other statuses like visitor and temporary worker.. also mentioned that dates are approximate because I do not hold any passports apart form current ones (they taken when issuing new one). I did for myself, wife, kids.

Did you send this additional information as precaution, or did they ask for it?

I’m sorry you’re in my position but also happy I’m not alone.

Did you try calling IRCC or sent a webform? I am completely out of my wits as to why they are not sending us the AOR. We have not even went out of Ontario since we got our PR and stayed at the same address. Guess being penalized for being too good.

No they did not ask for anything. Was my good will based on responses I got on this forum

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the ghost updates and I couldn't find the answer. Do you know if they happen once a day, like 7 am, or can it happen anytime during the day, as soon as an agent works on the file? Thanks!

How did you upload the documents? Webform or via email?
How did you get the confirmation regarding documents being added?

I used web form (4 web forms for each family member) and got 4 email confirmations accordingly
