It sounds like there was some sort of "flag" on you before you became a citizen, but CSBA does not have updated records, and the immigration officers picked up on your old status but were clueless about what to do about it. They seem to be quite confused but not ready to admit it. Legally...

Yes, you are overthinking things.

I applied in Jan 2019. Nothing happened until Jan 2022. In Jan 2022 I got a lawyer to file for a writ of mandamus. Things moved. I got citizenship in March 2022.

Sorry to hear about your situation. But surprised that you spent $10K. Anyway, from my experience and what I have had from others, IRCC rarely responds to demand letters; it simply gets moving. For example, when I filed mine after waiting for almost 3 years, they did not respond to the...

None at all. Seemed to be some random choice, for quality control or whatever, since interviews were (for most people) eliminated due to covid.

Webform is next to useless. Generic email addresses are also next to useless. Did you try the email for ceremony scheduling at the office handling your case. For Scarborough it is IRCC.DNSCRCitizenshipCeremony-CeremonieCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca and there is a list somewhere...

Mr. Lamis has not seen it fit to join your campaign, but I am sure he is very grateful for your effort. :-)

I have no problem. And I wish you good luck with you efforts to improve the London office!

That's very noble of you. But you have a slight problem: The people you seem anxious to help don't seem to be particularly keen on it. At least I don't see any rushing to this thread. So, for now, it looks like it's just you. I think covid changed a lot of things that were...

A proper complaint can be made only on the basis of the time the application was submitted to the time a decision was made. The fact that individual steps take longer or shorter does not matter much. The IRCC has recently announced that applications now take an average of 27 months. Anyone...

TLDR. Lessons in precis.

Really? You just realized that now? Let me remind you of what you wrote that I was responding to: "It completely depends up on the officer reviewing your case. They may see that you have not intention of living in canada after getting citizenship and you will be a PR of another country. "...

Sorry, buddy; it is you who has got it wrong. And on two fronts ... probably a difficulty in understanding English. First, I did not say anything about Oath, which I know has to be taken. What I said was on intent to reside in Canada after obtaining citizenship. The presiding officer at the...

Could be those reasons. But generally I think there is nothing to worry about. Main things for most people are ID check and questions (if there are any) on entries and exits. My interview took less than 5 minutes, and 3 weeks after that I was scheduled for Oath.

So? The requirement to have an intention to live in Canada after getting citizenship was removed some years ago. And there is nothing that forbids being a PR of another country.

First, after "several categories completed", a decision has to be made, and that may take some time (but hopefully not much). Second, after a decision has been made, there has to be an Oath ceremony, and that too may take some time (but, again, hopefully not much). Third, after that an...

Since you daughter is a minor and has to take oath with you, I would not worry too much. Also, some of those things like language and test are not relevant for her. For my children no part of the status fields changed except "ceremony" part at the last step.

Nobody here can tell you how long it will take. Even IRCC itself will just give you some vague answer, such as "each case is different". A lawyer just asking will not be of much help. A lawyer filing for a writ of mandamus might get their attention, but note that they can now point to their...

Not quite so. When I had my stamps translated by Docbase, I just emailed them scanned copies. They worked with those, and IRCC had no issues with their "authenticated" translations.

As far as I know, the only time they might ask for a hardcopy is if you are called for an interview, which doesn't happen for most people. My advice is that, by way of preparing for that possibility, you get some evidence that the "passport authority" kept your first passport. Otherwise, be...
