Yes. I called IRCC (the call center), and explained the situation. Since then, the "Mailing Address" section has been simply gone. Now, there is only the correct Home address.

I suspect that most of us (including myself) have not received the test invite yet.

Which university (in Canada, I presume) requires Canadian citizenship, to the exclusion of the permanent residence status?

Kamloops. My last update was Nov 12/21 when Background Check was complete. Nothing else since then.

This is outrageous. You do have proof of delivery (of your original paper application), right? Perhaps, if you do decide to send another application, include proof of the original delivery, and explain your situation. Request that they process your new application as if it had been received on...

I know this is irrelevant. But was your PR application really approved in 2 weeks?

For the life of me, I can't fathom why IRCC is unable to design a Citizenship Tracker system that sends out email notifications whenever there is an update. The MyCIC system for PR applications does that.

Didn't you ALSO submit a paper application, if my memory is correct?

As far as I know, Hong Kong's PR status is closer to the status of citizenship than it is to Canada's PR status. A Hong Kong PR (regardless of citizenship, if any) cannot be deported from Hong Kong on the ground of criminal convictions. And Hong Kong PR status (regardless of citizenship, if...

Thanks a lot for your reply! It's informative. I was wondering about this point as well. If, as the agent told me, my file is with "BC itinerant services", does it mean that my application has already been processed by one of the main processing offices in BC and is deemed ready for the last...

07/2021 applicant from Kamloops, BC. So I was speaking to an IRCC agent on a different matter, and I asked her to check which is my processing office. I know there are two in BC: Surrey and Vancouver. The agent told me that it is "BC Itinerant services" and said that she does not know what that...

I've read somewhere on this forum that background verification is done by RCMP, which is why it's very quick whereas prohibitions are done by CSIS. But I have no way of knowing whether this is true or not.

I think some people on this forum will have an aneurysm after hearing your story, haha.

No

Just a side discussion because of the news about Barbados ditching the monarch. I don't know how people here feel about the monarchy, but I like Queen Elizabeth, and I hope I get to have a Canadian passport issued in her name. On the other hand, I would detest swearing allegiance to King...

No, you don't have to update IRCC about your change in marital status. IRCC only requires updates in contact information.

Exactly. He repeatedly claimed that there is a law which says the purpose of citizenship is to facilitate permanent settlement in Canada. I asked him to show me which law he was referring to, and he has not been able to do so. But apparently that did not stop him from making further arguments on...

If the only reason is to expedite the processing of your application, and you think this can be achieved by submitting an online application after withdrawing the old one, then the answer is NO.

Oh that's nice. The "citizenship tracker" is quite inconvenient because it doesn't send notifications when the status has changed. I don't know why they don't integrate citizenship processing into the "MyCIC" system (which is used for Express Entry and PR Card applications).

I will just point out a few things: 1) You repeatedly assert that the purpose of the law (regarding citizenship grant) is to "enable a former Foreign National to settle and live in Canada PERMANENTLY". Please QUOTE the law where it says that. 2) Related to the 1), A Permanent Resident already...
