    Rescheduling of oath ceremony - acknowledgment of receipt

    Sorry for the bad news regarding your daughter. Best wishes for her recovery. Also, this is probably just an automatic mail you can ignore. They received your message but have not acted on it yet. Having missed her first ceremony, she will be rescheduled once. This is standard IRCC policy. The...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    The best thing to do is to get a lawyer. There's obviously a risk you lose your PR since you may have reavailed yourself by going many times to your home country... Also, have a look at this long thread, it should be informative ...

    Minor still on AOR, no other progress

    Yeah it's normal. Theres nothing to assess in the kid's application except that the parent becomes a citizen. The application will go straight from AOR to oath invitation at the same time as yours.

    Do they send out as many RQs as they used to?

    Studying in Canada is a very strong indicator you were in Canada, and a very easy one to prove if you have to. It's absolutely not a reason to worry in itself.

    Police clearance certificate - In person interview after test

    None of these should be issues as they happened after your eligibility period.

    Police clearance certificate - In person interview after test

    The PCC is usually only needed for before your application, but IRCC can ask for any document at any time if they feel the need. So, maybe they ask for it, maybe they don't, we can't say... Also, IRCC doesn't really care about your work situation, that shouldn't be a problem. Bring with you the...

    it has been 9 months, but I haven't got my AOR

    Yeah thanks. For some reason I always invert the C and G in GCMS :)

    Guys How fast did you get your first passport ?

    Does paying more also mean buying a flight ticket or taking a hotel reservation in US? The fastest one only applies in case of emergency, it's not available if you "just" want to get your passport asap. Also, both urgent and express application are only available in person... The decision...

    it has been 9 months, but I haven't got my AOR

    No need to give details about your issue here. The ATIP allows you to access your data from a federal agency, so just ask for your CGMS notes (CGMS is the internal IRCC tool) and you'll get everything that was done on your application. Also, it's 5$ if you ask through the Access to information...

    it has been 9 months, but I haven't got my AOR

    If your physical presence is "in progress", it means that not receiving the AOR was some kind of bug, but your application has definitely been entered to the system, else you wouldn't even access the tracker. Forget the AOR, it's useless now... What matters is that you can receive the other...

    Citizenship - Online application

    IRCC doesn't care about your vacations. Only list stuff where you had a "meaningful" immigration status. The visitor status there would be applicable to, say, a 6 months stay in a country, not the 2 weeks or 1 month vacation you usually have.

    Passport Application: question about previous travel document

    If you google "Canadian passport" the first result from the official website asks you how you wanna apply... In person or by mail.

    What should we put under "Occupation or activity" in the citizenship application

    People who don't know you can't answer this for you. You're the one who knows your work or study history.

    Self Administered Oaths!

    There was a huge blowback after it was announced, both from Conservative politicians and pundits. There's a possibility Liberals, who are already quite low in the polls, quietly shelved this to avoid further scandal. And if Poilievre becomes our next PM, we can simply forget about it. So yeah, I...

    Can't Find UK or GBR in "Territory of Issue" on Citizenship Application

    You don't really need an explanation letter here. It's kinda overkill. Just pick one of the 4 parts of UK and move on.

    if you can't find a guarantor or 4 references ,does it mean you are doomed ?

    Well, we can agree on the quotation marks for the word friends if they're not even willing to do something as simple as that that will cost them absolutely nothing. But for the overwhelming majority of passport applicants, including naturalized Canadians, getting those 3 people isn't a problem...

    if you can't find a guarantor or 4 references ,does it mean you are doomed ?

    1) I'm just giving POTENTIAL possibilities. They may or may not apply to you... It's just a way to say that the people you're looking for don't need to be close to you. Acquintances fit the bill. 2) References don't need to have the Canadian citizenship. So your neighbors can do it. My message...

    if you can't find a guarantor or 4 references ,does it mean you are doomed ?

    It can even be someone working in your go-to-shops, public libraries, a church-goer (or other religious building) you see often, the teacher of your kid, or simply a neighbor or ex-neighbor, or even someone you only know on social media. Some people you barely know may be OK with being added to...
