You might wait long in line though at the passport office or you can do setup an appointment with one of them...

    Ghost Update and Citizenship Test Window

    It takes a while for updates to sync to the web portal as i've seen many say they got updates via email but portals do not update. Do not worry as it means things are progressing on your application. It would be alarming if there was nothing happening for 8-9 months for an update to occur!

    It seems my partners application from March 22 AOR to getting the oath date (july 30 virtual) was exactly 4.5 months living here in Toronto. Because they became PR in Jan 2022, there was no finger prints needed (LPP completed) and assume they look at the PR information and inputs needed since it...

    Guarantor does not need to do anything. The "I certify this to be a true likeness of" is just from the photo studio so the passport office knows its a valid photo taken. Just put your residence of 5 years in Canada since you live in Canada and that can also be your mailing address for their...
