No, if you don't plan to travel. It is solely a travel document, you don't need it for anything else inside the country.

Urgent query - regarding applicants with minor under 14:
(1) Can anyone suggest what are the implications of minor being outside of Canada during the Oath?
(2) If you (or anyone you know) have attended the Oath where there was a minor under the age 14 included in the application, did you need to show and destroy minor's PR card as well (assuming the minor is also a PR, not a citizen)?

You dont need to renew it but then it's always better to keep your documents updated . You dont know what rules can change when . Cic is very unpredictable.

I know its a long long wait for many of us! Thank you and good luck to all who are still waiting.

Hi Everyone,

Just an update - Received Citizenship certificates in a week's time after the oath.

Next step is to get passports, can anyone advise what's the processing times currently? I checked online, they're not accepting applications in-person?

No (or barely any) online tests anymore?

Or you people simply stopped reporting back to the community?

I am not sure what is going on at present.

It could be that people are not updating until the actual test is done
Otherwise it's just another disappointing day for people like me who are still waiting and checking on the forms or status online only adds more insult to the Injury.

Transfer means, you submitted address change to different province/city?
Did you finish the test yet?

Mandamus: Do you think that 2 years would be enough to win? I heard 3 years in other threads earlier hence asking.

No i just asked them to transfer my file to a different office because i feel im being discriminated based on my religion , ethnicity and that i do not speak french. I will also forward this to my MP and might consider human rights complain. I finished my test and passed it in Jan 2020 .

For Mandamus 2 years or 2.5+ considering the processing time is 12 months. Also I have provided them with each and every document. So if you believe you have provided them the most detail then go for mandamus.
