October 2019 - Citizenship Applicants

[Macarad]

it could be an error from IRCC. I'd check with them.

I am not sure if it's an error...

The trips they want information do check out (quick trips to the USA by land in 2015 and 2016), and I did travel to Asia in 2016, but not Hong Kong. I do not know if the specific dynamics between mainland China and Hong Kong may be part of the issue....

I am trying to track down all my flight itineraries and tickets to respond to all of their requests (including flights and travel outside my eligibility period because they are unable to read some stamps from 10 years ago), and I will definitely try calling them this week, you know... hoping they actually take my call. Webform is not an option as I need to submit everything in a few weeks and webform takes forever.

The only silver lining is that language requirements and prohibitions were updated to "Completed", physical presence still in progress because of this...

It doesn’t happen to everyone. I did my test 3 months before my husband.

Thanks for this input...so in your case, the status should have been changed at different dates for you and your husband right...would you mind letting me know when was DM made on your profile and is it different dates for you and your husband...

My DM was almost 6 months ago, on April 29th. For him, no decision made yet (test completed on June 10th). Ridiculous.

I just got my DM, I hope it won't be that crazy.... I've been busy with work so I kinda forgot to check the status lol

Did you get a layover in Hong Kong?

Hey there
I am posting behalf of a friend here. He recently got married and has gotten his Oath invite for 5th November. Does he have to let CIC know the change in his marital status? I am assuming yes and if so - where does he make this change?

I assume so, but I don’t know how exactly.

For those who have gotten their oath invites, did every one get a seat number? The instructions say you need one whereas I have it as blank in the invite.

I assume so, but I don’t know how exactly.

Thank you. I found the webform where you can update your status.

Nope... did not even get close to that region hehe. I think I know how to "prove" I was not there. But I still find the request extremely weird.

Congrats on your DM!

My timeline is a bit similar to yours (except for the for test dates), and I think I would have gotten DM today had it not been for this additional request.

Hopefully oath ceremony is right around the corner for you!

Yes! You have to report the change in marital status and upload the marriage certificate. I did the same a few months ago and they sent me an acknowledgement for the change and a congratulatory note.

The change can be submitted via the web form - https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/contacts/web-form.asp

Anyone from Vancouver waiting for the oath ceremony? It's been over 2 months since the DM on my file...

My back home passport is expiring this month. While still wating for oath.
Should I renew the passport and inform the CIC?
Need advise.

Has your oath been scheduled soon? If not, I would renew it as the oath may take months (some offices are booked until April 2022). No need to inform them about renewing your passport
