    Citizenship Interview

    I'd say that it wouldn't harm to actually ask whether it can be done online along with a reschedule... Maybe you end up with someone willing to cooperate, and maybe not, but worst case is that they ignore the online part and that's it. I agree that the Canadian embassy in Pakistan is a very very...

    AOR is Feb 2024, Office in Scarborough, multiple requests to expedite, interview in July..

    No estimate really. For applications stuck at background check, and usually specifically the security check with CSIS, it could be 1.5 (quite common) to 2.5 years (less common, but not exceptionnal), or even more. At least, that's what I've been told on phone by an IRCC officer recently. IRCC...

    Citizenship refusal because of Language

    The financial burden definitely sucks, but I suppose that they followed some standard IRCC protocols when they closed your application. Also, in my answer above, I said that you'll "probably" need to apply again, which isn't as strong a term as definitely. Before doing so, give IRCC a call (or...

    Citizenship refusal because of Language

    The interviewer was probably more interested in how you answered (your confidence level, how easily you answered, the complexity of the sentences you used, how fast you answered, whether you needed them to repeat a question and so on), and not only what you answered, and they considered that how...

    Big delay for my citizenship application

    Is there a way to waive the waiver? Send another webform telling them to forget everything about your previous request and please send you a new test date. That may (emphasis on may, not will) put your application on rails faster than the need to wait for IRCC to deal with a barely seen situation.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    @sabbirhos123486 you've already asked your question in a forum section for international students. Hopefully someone there will be helpful, as this thread is specific for PRs applying for citizenship, who may not be familiar with your issues.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    Every application is different and we can't say how a specific one for an applicant stuck with CSIS will go, but the citizenship application (or any other application sent to IRCC) coming to an end is IRCC's responsibility. They can't get away with "well, it's in someone else's hand" for an...

    I received an email regarding my citizenship and I suspect it is a scam...

    It would be difficult for a scammer to send you a file named exactly what I suspect is exactly your citizenship application number, don't you think?

    Diagnosed with Bipolar type 2 after e-coPR

    The only effect a health issue can have on an application (apart from, say, special accommodations to take oath outside Canada in some rare cases) would be if an applicant cannot pass the citizenship test and need a waiver ...

    Citizenship requirements.

    I suppose you left with your Canadian spouse, thus kept your PR after 8 years outside Canada. If the system allows for a date before the 5 years eligibility, do that. If not, put the 1st day of your eligibility and add an explanation letter saying that you're not claiming that 1st day of...

    Mothers TRV impact on Citizenship application (repeated, but elaborated)

    That's the thing : your best bet at this point is to hire a reputable lawyer. The "relax" messages you're getting here are not convincing you, and I'm not sure how you'll react if you get some "you're doomed" answer here from someone you don't know. Better let a professional handle your specific...

    Mothers TRV impact on Citizenship application (repeated, but elaborated)

    You know that the best way to not affect a citizenship application is to not send one in the first place and stay a PR for life right? If you really want to become a citizen but your stress is borderline insanity, better to hire someone to do it for you. Multiplying threads for no reason here...

    Citizenship requirements.

    In regard to the citizenship application, Canada doesn't care how my citizenships you have, about the military service you never had elsewhere or about your relationship status. Also, the COPR isn't needed for the application. Being a member of the Forces impacts the application positively, as...

    Mothers TRV phone number [panic]

    All it indicates is that IRCC is well aware that many older foreign applicants gets help filing their applications from their kids. You're not a hidden rep, you're simply a son/daughter in this scenario, one of hundreds if not thousands that do it every year. It would be known if there was a...

    CFA as an English certificate

    From the look of it, passing CFA exams isn't among the language proofs listed here : https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=571&top=5 You can call IRCC and ask, but there's a chance you'll need to pass a language exam, which should be a formality.

    Online Citizenship application - missing information

    I can't say, really. You can always send back the application with a detailed explanation letter and proofs you were actually here in the days you claimed you're here, but what constitutes a proper proof and whether it will convince IRCC is yours to discover, and you may (may, not will!) be...

    Online Citizenship application - missing information

    Your best course of action would be to withdraw this application, and send a new one once you don't need pre-PR credit to reach the 1095 days threshold. You should still list the days you spent here before PR, as you did, but IRCC has more trouble establishing your presence before PR when you...

    April 2024- Citizenship Application

    Not that it matters, but no need to do it more than once a day. The tracker updates at a specific hour every day and reflects the changes made to your application 2 days ago.

    Physical Presence Query

    Answering no as you didn't spend 183 days in a row in India and adding it in the additional documents section seems like the proper way to do it. Maybe also add an explanation letter saying that although the maximum you spent in a row in India was X days, you still provided the PCC as you were...
