Dear friends
How can apply for urgent processing?
this is information from CIC about urgent processing ,hopefully it helps you
We can only process citizenship applications urgently in special cases. We check every urgent request to see if it meets the conditions for urgent processing. If your application doesn’t meet the conditions, we will process it normally.
To apply for urgent processing, you
must be eligible to apply for citizenship and have an
emergency, such as:
- needing Canadian citizenship to:
- apply for a job
- avoid losing your job
- go to a Canadian school, college or university
- needing to travel because of death or serious illness in your family and you can’t get a passport in your current nationality
- receiving a successful Federal Court decision on an appeal on a previous application for citizenship
Even if these conditions apply to you, we may not be able to process your request urgently. If we do process your request urgently, we may not be able to do it in time to help your situation.
If you haven’t sent us your application:
- Download and print the Application for Canadian Citizenship
- Complete the application
- Write an explanation of why you need urgent processing
- include any documents that will support your explanation
- In your envelope, include your:
- application

- Write “Request Urgent Processing – Grant of Citizenship” in large, dark letters on the envelope
- Mail your application to the address in the instruction guide
