[JuCW]

What if we sent an email to all MPs? Same text, explaining what is going on?

I don't have a twitter account, but i'll open one just for this.

You keep posting, I'll keep liking....

(and i promise to continue to help putting pressure even if my application gets finalized before...)

Appreciate the support.

I really respect govt decision to support Afghanistan refugees but they must give equal importance to our cases pending since 2019. its already 2 years+ now, don't know how long it would take now.

Is there anyone whose citizenship application got rejected due to not fulfilling commitment to stay in nominating province?

Of course... it is truly saddening the situation that unfolded and the ongoing crisis. I think most people would be very understanding about those specific circumstances. However, if they are approving newer citizenship applications in less than a year, then the problem is not the crisis in Afghanistan, you know? hehe

but well, they will spin it in a million different ways to come up with excuses. =/

I haven't heard of any, and as a PR you have the freedom to move to and work in any province in Canada, which means you are not restricted to apply to your citizenship from where you got your PR only

Oath invite received. The notice asks to keep both the PR card and COPR during the ceremony. I lost my COPR and only have my PR card and other required IDs. Please advise if I still need COPR for the oath, thanks.

hey there,
online, it says: either of the two:

• permanent resident card if you have one (even if it’s expired) or Confirmation of Permanent Residence (IMM5292 or IMM5688)

Use a website called I love PDF. They have a tool to compact the file.

How long before the Oath ceremony (date) do you get an email with the instructions and details of the same?

I reduced the quality of individual pages (like the blank pages) and only kept a higher resolution for pages that had stamps that were hard to read. But yeah... 5mb is not a lot

No one really knows, for some people it's only days, sometimes weeks, or even months.

I am starting to think that they might be simply using a giant wheel that they spin to decide how and when applications get finalized

Hi There,

Physical Presence and Language updated Completed 19th Oct 2021.
Prohibition in progress and Citizenship Ceremony not started.

Officially 2 years since I sent them the application...

Kindly update the spreadsheet.

For those waiting for Oath ceremony invite - the invitations are random. I have a friend who got his invite exactly 5 and a half months after his decision was made. I got it after 3.5 months. We both have almost identical applications (we both applied from toronto)
