June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[skonduru]

I would think this would be classified as a moderate-to-high travel history. The bigger problem with land crossings with US is there is no exit recorded by CBSA, they gather the info from USCBP and update the records. Many a times, people have reported that the exit records are missing in CBSA. In such cases it becomes difficult for IRCC to validate Physical presence and they ask for passport scans etc and in some cases call for an in-person interview to clear the Physical presence. It becomes more critical if your Physical presence days are close to the 1095 threshold wherein there is additional scrutiny.

It was always air travel and I have I-94 up to date. Hopefully that information is updated with CBSA as well. I have a little over 30 days extra on the mandatory 1095 days

4 times a year doesnt sound like a lot. Depending on how many days that person stayed. I travel every 1.5 month , and stay a few days on average. SO maybe 10 visits a year. 2020-2022 i did not travel much.

4 times a year, usually 1 week per trip.

Updated. Since they said tracker has 2 day delay, i kept BG as Jul 17 and kept GU as Jul 17 too. @hssrp should i put GU as Jul 15 ? assuming you dont keep 2 day early date for ghost update

Yes thats correct, ghost update doesn't have the delay. In most cases you see a ghost update on the same day they make the actual update, like in this case BG completed (17th Jul) and the actual updates reflect in the tracker after 2 days on July 19th. So your dates are correct!

EDIT: I see that you updated it for the wrong ID, just corrected the sheet

Type: Online application
Location: Edmonton
Physical Presence Days: 1985
Application: Family (3)
Application Sent: June 21st
Delivered: June 21st
AOR: July 2nd
BG Complete : July 17th

Added to the spreadsheet, can you recheck your Physical presence days? The max one can have is 1826/1827 days as the eligibility period is only 5 years.

That should make it easier for them to verify. Fingers crossed

Is it normal with other applicants that some files are processing quicker than others? I had also applied on June 23rd, Got AOR on July 2nd. Visible on tracker on 4th. But no update after that.

Yep, totally normal. One of my friend applied at the same time with his family(different application).
His parents got their passport already, but my friend pass the exam last September and didn't hear anything since then.

It is important to record each and every travel date in the system regardless of the number of trips taken. Some people will have zero cross border travel in 3-5 years and some will have dozens, based on their circumstances. Key here is to make sure that the information produced is factually correct, comprehensive and conclusive for the purpose of counting the number of days.

Agree. We were discussing what is extensive travel. As that is rumored to increase processing time. WE have to list every visit regardless, no question about that
