My gosh, what an ordeal. I have to say I'd probably have given up several times already. Your dedication is commendable!

I'm sorry to hear that, I really don't understand where these double standards come from. I just told them I was travelling, no further questions asked and no complications.

My experience of postponing the ceremony was not nearly as bad as that- where does this "3-6 months" figure come from? My initial ceremony was supposed to take place on April 26, but as I was travelling the following week I postponed it. I told them I would be back on June 28, and the new date...

A bit of a late reply, but maybe it helps someone else. I sent them an email, but I never received a response. However, I also joined into the first ceremony just to tell the officer that I'm travelling and couldn't attend the ceremony that day. She said it was a good idea that I did this...

In case anyone is thinking about postponing their citizenship ceremony, I can report that the process for me was very smooth. My initial ceremony was supposed to take place on April 26, but as I was travelling the following week I postponed it. I told them I would be back on June 28, and the new...

Hello everyone! I had my oath scheduled yesterday, but unfortunately I had to postpone it due to an out-of-country trip next week that for multiple reasons I did not wish to cancel. I did appear on the oath call and talked to the officer, she was really helpful and kind, and also told me it's...

I'm almost in the same situation, except I haven't received the oath invitation yet (all other steps have been completed). I'm supposed to fly to Croatia on May 2 and not return until late June. A delay of 3-6 months would be fine for me, but a whole year seems a bit too long to wait... What...

Processing time of 2 years and 3 months for citizenship?! How large is their backlog?

Some people have been waiting for their citizenships since 2020- how's that for intolerable wait?

If you have a valid BOWP and your PR application is rejected, you can keep working using the BOWP until it expires:

Can someone please update my tracker: Test invite: Jan 17, 2022 Test taken date: Jan 31, 2022

Got the exact same email, so you're not alone :)

Does this kind of coping mechanism actually help you deal with frustration? Cos reading your comments it seems like you (and many others in this thread) would benefit from a different focus in life, or at least some anger-management techniques. I understand that the situation is beyond...

AOR received today, wohoo! Please update: Type: Online application Location: Vancouver Physical Presence Days: 1102 Application: Single Application Sent: May 15, 2021 Delivered: May 15, 2021 AOR: Aug 30, 2021

Why then are you applying for citizenship in a country where Muslims get run over by trucks? Maybe move back to the UAE and enjoy the sunny climate. I also never heard a single Canadian say that Canada is the friendliest nation on the planet, but it's certainly not the unfriendliest either (for...

I'd say the moron is the person who can't follow instructions, and not the one who does ;) I for one am glad that they're doing a proper job. If you're not happy about it, maybe consider moving to a country where the rules aren't followed as much?

Yeah, I don't understand why people assume that just because the AOR comes later for online applications, the whole processes will take longer as well. Maybe online applications will be fully done a month or two after getting their AOR. I also don't understand what the rush is, even if an online...

Maybe there's a third way of applying, you should seriously look into it!

I also uploaded the receipt, even though it seems they recently removed this requirement. Better to have one document too many than too few.

Name one country where it's easier to immigrate.
