Your reply is exactly why you don't take advice on the internet too seriously and DYOR. The IRCC has accepted 99% of 5(4) given the last hearing. I read the evidence presented at the last hearing. My family was impacted and a cousin got it already. Literally anything is considered urgent, and...

That's to account for diplomatic post which runs monthly at a lot of places or slower. I got an AOR in six weeks (three weeks after mail went out) after I dropped it off in June. Still can't check online, but it's for something subject to the FGL. E-certificates are just sent instantly. Normal...

My family came from the Ukraine (after Russian Empire collapsed). Thankfully they left before Yarik Hunka killed them. Canada saved them. I am just reminding those who jump on avatar bandwagons that we exist. There are a few here on the forum I saw, so I changed it. I would like to be clear I...

A baby on prescriptions and with difficult access definitely is urgent. The IRCC has been reprimanded for artificially narrowing the scope of what constitutes urgent in court. It's all discretionary. It's a situation if you think you are, then you probably are. They don't have to respect that...

Update to my own urgent processing application. Applied through my consulate 5 weeks ago and now and no AOR. This is a non-standard case. It's possible for it to take a long time since the FGL rule is up in the air and the application depends on a constitutional exception – something yet to be...

Useful comment. I'm Inuit btw. I have citizenship already thank you very much. First Nations is a ridiculous and racist term in itself. >Genocide means physical destruction or taking away children That's your definition. This is the real defintiion: genocide. noun. geno·cide ˈje-nə-ˌsīd. ...

chatGPT only found the OPs view potentially racist for describing their spouse as having a weak passport fwiw. I think you are perhaps looking to be offended by anti-immigration views because you assume people are angry at a specific race. Being against open borders is not racist. Nor is being...

Hi, I am a 'Lost Canadian' and have been in contact with a lot of lawmakers recently in regards to citizenship laws and have watched all the committees in regards to it. I believe Canada will end birthright citizenship at some point, but first it has other things to worry about. I'm a right...

The first generation limit to citizenship was ruled unconstitutional, but is currently stayed until August 9th in which time the government must come up with new rules regarding constitutional exceptions to replace its current interim rules. The court found that granting people with automatic...

Breaking News: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/court-grants-government-another-extension-to-fix-unconstitutional-citizenship-law-1.7241903?cmp=rss Not sure how the gap in the stay will be handled. I will be moving forward with an urgent appeal for a grant for my child. Perhaps they accept a...

Thanks for the explanation on S-245 for the procedural details and the comments on Canlii. Love it. As for the ex post facto nature of C-71, as it stands now, I am good with most of the verbiage. In my opinion after dealing with the US, I am not against the way they do things, even if it is...

Ineligible for certain jobs and clearances, can't be president or vice president. You can also have your citizenship revoked in certain circumstances. Also ineligible for jury service on certain panels. You have to have been a citizen for 7 or 9 years for serving in congress depending if it is...

In the US you cannot pass any ex post facto laws whether criminal or civil from the first article. Procedure can change though, and in arbitrary matters like citizenship there can be a degree of it. There are SCOTUS rulings regarding the edges of it, but in the US is less forgiving of moving...

The parliament has a penchant for the ex post facto though which is always a concern. In American law it is enshrined in the very first article of the constitution that such things can't happen, although states and local governments love to try. Since we are talking potentially about people who...

Nice catch. Publicized today, but I wondered if it was already written not published so I looked at archive sites. A CMS modified date does not mean something was publicly viewable. There is an archive.is from June 9th of the same text. I didn't find it until today, but perhaps this is what...
