Tracker updated today to show my Citizenship test as Completed.

Non-routine simply means that one or more aspects of an application require additional scrutiny. It doesn’t mean that said application will automatically take longer to process. That additional scrutiny could take an officer a matter of hours to resolve. Or it could take months (especially if...

Having any sort of advanced degree almost always triggers a deeper dive when it comes to security. PhDs even more so. Add certain nationalities to the mix, and well, here you are.

Again, due dates (as shown in your GCMS notes) are meaningless. They are system generated, and a relic of previous systems where, a formal agreement existed between CIC (now IRCC) and the CBSA, which stated that security screening advice (from the CBSA) would be provided to IRCC officers within...

Standard questioning: What do you do for work? Why do you need NEXUS? How often do you travel (to the US)? Do you still live at your address? Status in Canada.

It is very clearly listed as part of the eligibility criteria, and there is space to upload it during the application: To be eligible, you must live in Canada (and intend to live outside Quebec) at the time you apply for your BOWP You can leave Canada while we process your application...

PAPER applications.

So send what they asked for again.
