    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    You must've forgotten that question, because its in the application (Question 17). I don't think they ask you, they confirm your option selected- maybe at that point you can say you want an e-certificate and they will send you the email with the instructions? I would call as soon as possible...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    With (or before) the oath ceremony email, you get another email asking you to set up your profile to download the ecertificate. This is just to keep it ready- because you can only truly download the ecertificate AFTER a successfull oath ceremony. https://portal-portail.apps.cic.gc.ca 1 business...

    For any German citizen

    This is a big decision if you do not have the luxury of dual citizenship and not one to be taken lightly. I wish you well and hope you figure it out.

    For any German citizen

    Wait a min- I remember you! You were 'that' person in our monthly thread demanding speedy service for citizenship even though all our processing was still really fast with only Vancouver officer being slightly faster. After all that drama and complaining, you're getting cold feet now???

    Canadian Passport in person timeline

    Actually, I was reading on reddit that if you are desperate, this is a valid strategy to guarantee an appointment the next day. If you need expedited/urgent processing and have proof of it, you should go at 3pm of that day, they will say they can't get you in before 4pm and offer you a chance to...

    Vancouver walk-in application on Hastings. Arrived at 9.30 am, no wait whatsover. In and out, in under 10 mins total. Despite mentioning travel in October, they refused any expedited passport application (need to travel in September to be offered that apparently). Earliest I was offered was week...

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Even I was a bit worried, but they have chat enabled at the admission screen and the IRCC webhost kept posting messages every few mins for people to be patient. I was also number of #130th or something, so I wasn't surprised it took 30 mins.

    Indian passport surrender

    Sorry if this is a very obvious question, but for booking appointment of Passport Surrender, the service Type to select at appointment booking is : Passport or OCI? I'm getting a date 3 weeks from now, so I don't want to get it wrong.

    This is why I don't like GUs, it does not guarantee any change. I have a GU for 23rd August and nothing has changed in my profile whatsoever.

    May 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    It will come soon for you guys *fingers crossed*- especially Vancouver office processing. Even in the April thread, they seem to be moving quick. I had a technical issue in my application, they resolved it and moved forward fairly quick. I was hoping so? Sorry, its my first oath ceremony haha.
