I think you are replying to SecularFirst? Yeah I've heard of this Stephen Harper thing ...

Glad to know that you didn't get reported! I agree that education should be an exemption. I would also argue that the requirement for a citizenship applicant (otherwise eligible) to meet PR RO throughout the processing time is not well motivated. First of all, the processing time is not...

Indeed, nothing like this could happen if IRCC works as expected. Just imagine this: An applicant is 18 years old when he applied to become a citizen. At that time, he has lived in Canada for 3 years, attending high school. He gets an offer from MIT, or some university that is better than the...

Thank you very much. This article is very interesting and informative. I noticed three conditions against the applicants though: 1) IRCC tried to revoke the certificate before closing the case entirely, and she did not respond; 2) Revoking it does not render the applicant stateless; 3) She...

Thanks. It is complicated because it is worth a lawsuit if it indeed happens. I read both the Citizenship Act and the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. I read about both granting/revoking citizenship. They, together, seems to imply the following. 1) Citizenship should not be granted to a...

Moreover, Canada can revoke citizenship and make a person stateless if there was a misrepresentation, but cannot do so if they did not do a final RO check right before the oath. ok, I guess this is getting too complicated and hard to resolve without professional legal advice, which is overkill...

I wonder if that is a true necessary condition or only stated so that PR status remains. Therefore, I looked up the citizenship act. It says that the minister shall grant citizenship to someone who meets all other conditions and "is a permanent resident within the meaning of subsection 2(1) of...

This is true: when processing citizenship applications they only look at the eligibility period. But maintaining PR is still rather tricky. IRCC is "committed" to processing applications in 12 months. If they do so, then this situation would never occur, since a person who has been in Canada for...

It is true that PR should not break RO. But it is also true that a PR who breaks RO does not lose PR status until examined by the officer and minister. The loss of PR occurs when the decision is actually made. A decision to revoke PR does not trace back and take effect in the past. Becoming a...

Hi friends, I have come up with a strange question regarding removal orders. (It hasn't happened to me, nor do I know anyone in this situation, but given the unpredictable behavior of IRCC, I fear that eventually, this situation may come up somehow.) I have read that when a PR tries to enter...

Somewhere in this thread. I also find it hard to believe…

Wow, this is fast. If it is true that “Scarborough office is fully booked through next May”, then it might be that someone rescheduled.

I believe the official website says that if you do not want to do the test/oath online, and prefer in-person, you may choose to. But they did not say anything regarding the consequence of choosing so. Therefore, what the website says is consistent with the possibility that a person chooses an...

I’m more optimistic, and think that they would some day resume in person ceremonies. After all, they are “committed to send oath invite within 4 months after DM”, and statistics wouldn’t look good if they continue to make everyone wait for more than half a year for oaths.

Today, my presence/language/prohibition changed to completed without pp request. It seems that pp request does not happen for everyone. I also remember that there were several replies in this thread discussing this, so I share my guess: I submitted a transcript with my application that indicates...

Honestly, I don't know. This is what happened: About 10 days ago, I sent a webform that says something like: I will need to renew my PR next year, could you please process it faster so that I don't need to do that. I received 3 duplicates of the standard reply that says "we would not respond to...

Today, my Language Skills/Prohibitions/Physical Presence became "completed". It is 20 days since I took the test. Scarborough office, no passport copy request. I do not know why I didn't need to send passport copies, but my guess is that during my 5 year period, I spent 4 studying at a Canadian...

My call was answered by a very nice agent (though what he told me about my specific file was useless, and he claimed that the information that 2021 ppl got oaths was unreliable, but he was nice in terms of personality), and he explained to me that files go from agent to agent. That is, when an...

Today, I received ANOTHER standard reply! Three standard replies for one webform, days apart. I truly believe that the system is somehow broken.

I think I've seen at least one member that says his/her application was routine and way before that date IRCC claims to have finalized.
