I am still stuck in LPP in progress. How long it will take for DM and Oath? I ordered GCMS notes after 6.5 months of processing time.

Hi hssrp,
Good morning,
I have a question, me and my family citizenship application is in process, we have a family emergency in Pakistan, Do we need to inform IRCC regarding our (me and my wife) visit to Pakistan and report to IRCC about our days of absence from Canada?
Please need your kind assistance and help in this matter.
Thanks

Hello Everyone,
I applied for my son's Canadian citizenship born outside Canada in July 2024, and his UCI (Unique Client Identifier) was generated in October 2024.
Could someone guide me on the next steps after the UCI generation? Additionally, what is the usual timeline for processing a minor's citizenship application?
My husband and I plan to travel to Canada in March 2025 with our son. However, since we won’t have proof of his Canadian citizenship by then, what documents will be required for him to travel with us? Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Does you son have any other passport? Before you fly he will require a Canadian passport.
Contact consulate/consular section of high commission, you want to apply for a temporary passport. They should - on basis of copies of the application you submitted - issue a temp passport on basis he is presumed to be a citizen.
Varies by consulte/emabassy location. Also depends on the urgency of the situation. For example you are not staying in temporary accommodations and are not stuck abroad while Canada is your permanent home.
You contact the consulate or consular section, explain the situation, and they'll advise what you need and provide you correct forms.
If your absence is more than 2 weeks, it is advisable to inform IRCC via a webform about your absence and the date of your return. Also note that this is more to do with IRCC not scheduling anything for you during your absence and nothing to do with your Physical presence as the days are locked when you signed and submitted the application.
