July 2020 - Citizenship application

[Sergeydyumin1990]

Hi Sergey

1)is there a way to just update information about passport change? YES https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp
2)Did anybody changed province in period of application, does it affect application process? People did. It should not change by lots as test and oath are online.
3)do I need to submit police background check and would it be just Canadian ? I looked at CIT0007 document checklist. As per document checklist,
-You must submit a police certificate for each country or territory where you have been present for 183 days or more in a row for the 4 years immediately before the date of your application. If you landed to Canada from country A, you do not need Police clearance from country A unless u went back for 183+ days.

More information here https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/migration/ircc/english/pdf/kits/citizen/cit0007e-2.pdf

Good luck

Anton

Thank you, for response. the part with police clearance, during my PR process they made me gather all them and I was hoping they still have them on file or data from it. But judging by this statement, apparently in last four years only. I been here in Canada in that period.

I’ve been following your progress with passport, how is it going for you ? You should become a citizen this summer,yeah ?

Anyway good luck and thank you for your reply

Hi, I hope everybody has a good day and staying safe. I haven't yet applied for passport and still not eligible until Fall. I d like to ask you a question (in case somebody know) From you spread sheet I noticed that people are waiting for passports for over 12 months. If I apply in Fall my home country passport will expire in period of application (10 months after I will send in application) is there a way to just update information about passport change or I should change it before hand? Did anybody changed province in period of application, does it affect application process? Last thing is, do I need to submit police background check and would it be just Canadian ? (for last 5 years I lived in Canada, but in last 10 years I lived in 6 countries for over 6 months each; I need to provide all police certifications for PR and now they all expired).
Thank you in advance and have a good day=)

what do you mean by passport application? do you mean citizenship app? Thanks

Whoa, everyone is getting exam invites already? I haven't gotten anything since my AOR in January. Should I be worried?

I am worried because I received no updates since Jan, and my (and my spouse's) applications are still in Nova Scotia, not the local office!

Register for the new status dashboard. You'll need your application number and UCI for this. If you don't have your application number (since you never received AOR), you'll have to contact IRCC and get it.

Thank you Sergey

Another thing to look for when you fill in your application is make sure there is no gaps in address, education, personal history. Many people got their app returned because of this.

English test should be general, not academic.


If you will be applying as a single applicant, there is an option for online application for citizenship. It was fast in Dec 2020 when CIC introduced it, now it slowed down. Here is a link if you want to read more https://citapply-citdemande.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/landing

If you have questions do not hesitate to ask

thank you for information , oh English part. Regarding English test , I read that I can show a proof of education in English that will allow me to do application without actual test. Do you know if it is true ?

thank you

I have a question. The spreadsheet has a column called "test interview date". Does this mean that test and interview happen on the same date?

This is how it was prior to Covid time. The interview was at the same place and date after the test. Now it's not really relevant, but the excel form was not updated.

The column is a bit confusing but it should be there. Applicants might or might not get an interview after his/her test. It is good to have that in spreadsheet. It gives more information about application. Some people put the date test is taken in there
