Hi! I am filling out the form for surrender certificate and it is not letting me type full birth place (as per passport). How do I go about this as I don’t want BLS to send me back for this? Do I just fill up to whatever letters I can or can I handwrite anything?

December 13 applicant: BG is completed, LPP is in process. Just got an email with Notice to Appear via Teams. It says "Invitation to an interview with a Citizenship Official". Any idea what would this interview be about?

Looks like Surrey office is really slow. I was asked to provide passport copies in mid-April, no update since then. My BG was completed on March 28. LPP still pending.

App sent - Dec 13 (online) AOR - Jan 3 Cit Test Taken - Feb 8 ( Surrey office) Cit Test updated - Feb 10 FP done - Feb 11 FP rcvd - Mar 6 GU - Mar 27 BG completed- Mar 30 LPP still in progress

Yes, I had a ghost update on March 27, checked today and it got updated today with BG completed. Dec 13 application.

That’s right. They received my FB on March 6, have had not update till today ( just a ghost update with a change in date UPDATED March 27).

Mine is DNCITSRY, which VO is this?

I did my FP on Feb 11 and still not updated either. Hopefully next week.

And the worst thing is this profile was reviewed by Chinook. You can note in gcms “file reviewed with assistance of Chinook 3+”. I don’t think an actual officer even touched the file.

Totally!! I agree with that. It is so hard to prove home ties and not to prove ties in Canada. If you have a sibling in Canada, they would say you have ties in Canada. I have learnt that it’s just not easy to convince an officer I guess if your sibling who is over 30 and not very well...

It was going to be tourism and visiting me since my work is crazy busy (law firm) and I won’t get more than one week off for an international trip this year. I only mentioned he will be spending time with us and sightseeing for one week within BC. I understand it wasn’t the best and strongest...

Yes, I read that somewhere before that their application was refused just after one day of applying.

The letter I received is generic letter for refusal stating ties in Canada, no ties outside Canada, proposed length of stay ( it was for 2 weeks), and purpose of travel. I honestly feel this has been forced to reject by chinook as there was literally no review started on file as I checked an...

Do you think old portal will result in file being reviewed by actual officer?
