    October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

    Hey just FYI, I had this exact issue. My application was found but I wasn’t getting verification email. Turns out that the verification emails with the code were going to my old email address ( the one that I had used for my previous PR tracker account). Once I figured that out, I just input the...

    September 2024 Citizenship Applications

    Did you move to Canada from the US immediately after doing your landing or did you do something like flag poling and moved to Canada after 183 days?
