    Has anyone received the AOR email 2 times ? My wife and kids got the AOR emails once on June 2nd with me, and again today. The date on the AOR has changed but everything else is the same. No updates in the online trackers at all. What could be the significance of this ?

    "I respect myself too much to stay in Canada": Why so many new immigrants are leaving

    The dentist has been here for 6 years now and had given up the re-qualification route after an year of landing.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Hello ! Can someone please clarify for me, the significance of the LVO (local office) after the citizenship applications are sent to the LVO ? Is is the ACTUAL local visa office close to where one resides or is it randomly assigned to any office across the province / country ? Thanks in...

    About the LVO - is it based logically on where you live or is it allotted randomly ? If I live around Vancouver, is there a possibility of my file being sent to another province ?

    April 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    No I did not ... I should have, perhaps - as it had opened up. However, as they had only asked for a copy of my Wife's degree this (second) time, I thought it would be easier rather than re-doing the whole application thing online that we had started in November 2022. The first time, our entire...

    April 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    My application (after TWO times returned (yes 2 times for inexplicably "missing" documents that were already sent by me in the same envelope) was delivered on 12th April 2023.

    Yes, trying that every day ... in incognito mode as well but doesn't work. Tried calling IRCC several times as well but couldn't get through to a person as the line gets disconnected instead of going into a waiting line. Will continue trying I guess :-)
