    December 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Careful with that typo! :oops: From what I've been seeing, the test's taking about a week to be updated on the tracker as completed. As for the oath, it's been going pretty fast for most people in the past few months. If you're one of the lucky ones, it could be within a month's time. If...

    Do you currently, or have you ever held immigration or citizenship status in a country other than Canada?

    Out of spite for how much pain this question has caused me as a perfectionist, pain that I wish to inflict back to whoever designed this question, I have provided all my visitor statuses since birth. It's a long list of about 5 pages all tabulated. I spent 3 long days combing through my...

    Procedural Fairness Letter after Passport Request - International Student from Africa

    Can you please provide a reference for this statement? As far as I know, a PFL does not mean you’ve been refused a visa, denied entry, or ordered to leave a country, i.e., things you normally have to declare when you are applying for a visa. It simply means the officer has concerns, and unless...

    June 2022 INLAND Spousal Sponsorship Paper Based

    Because the portal system is relatively new, unreliable, and extremely unfair. Its infrastructure is horseshite; there's no FIFO, no accountability, and no structure or pattern on how they go through applications. I and countless others had to deal with the headache and stress brought by this...

    By the way, I think that your original text was also correct if you consider "overthink" as a particular action; in which case, that action can certainly be done to an extent that is too much or too many times! :D
