    Is test notice and ceremony notice sent via mail or email?

    Thanks! I heard they are sending most correspondence via email these days though including test invites and oath invites.

    Is test notice and ceremony notice sent via mail or email?

    Does ECAS get updated at least prior to them sending it to you by mail so that we can know to look for it in the mail?

    Hi, Mods, please update my application to 'In Process'. Received on Sept 9th. Can someone tell me if the test invite comes by mail or email?

    Can a citizenship application be rejected after AOR? If yes, do you have to satisfy residency criteria again before reapplying?

    To make the statement you have, quoted in bold, you have to keep this in mind: Only people who have RQ related problems report them on this forum, there are countless who's process goes smoothly who don't report it at all on here because there is nothing to report. So, there is an inherent...

    Citizenship test: Collective action required, or expect endless delays, years. Example of the effective lobbyng of people awaiting spousal sponsorship

    Most of the jobs are remote work now and you can explain the situation to your manager, that it's urgent. That's what I'd do anyway, I would hate for my citizenship process to be delayed by who knows how many months, just because my manager didn't approve for me to leave for a couple weeks.

    Citizenship Test

    My suggestion to CIC is to get rid of the stupid test altogether! AOR -> Oath DIRECT!

    Passport expiring while citizenship in process

    1 - No, why would it? 2 - Renew ASAP and submit webform immediately. You do not need to wait for AOR to do that.

    Citizenship application - URGENT Request during COVID-19

    Won't work, the criteria for applying for urgent processing is quite clear and you don't meet it. In fact, it could backfire in your face and get you an RQ. Ask the company to hire you as a remote contractor until they begin processing H1Bs.

    Can a citizenship application be rejected after AOR? If yes, do you have to satisfy residency criteria again before reapplying?

    @dpenabill Great illuminating post. So, in your opinion, how do you suggest that people who did indeed "travel abroad" after applying for citizenship, reduce their RISK of getting RQd? It would be ridiculous to expect them to come back to Canada permanently. There must be a better solution...

    Congratulations! Did they send you an email or snail mail notifying you of the same or do you have to keep checking on the website to see when it gets updated?

    January 2020 - citizenship application

    Just looked at the sheet and seems like a few people got their applications changed from 'Application Received' to 'In Process'. This means processing has begun! Expecting a 6-month or more delay to citizenship depending on if they can begin processing application as quick as they were pre-pandemic.

    Can a citizenship application be rejected after AOR? If yes, do you have to satisfy residency criteria again before reapplying?

    I agree with you on all parts except that, moving abroad after you have met the eligibility criteria and applied for citizenship in Canada does not automatically increase your risk for non-routine processing. Non-routine processing is triggered when there is lack of clarity in your application...

    Can a citizenship application be rejected after AOR? If yes, do you have to satisfy residency criteria again before reapplying?

    Do you know what happened last time the process got bogged down 7 to 11 years ago? How much was the process delayed by? That would be a good indication of how long we can expect the process to be delayed by this time. With regards to the PR Residency Obligation, to maintain your PR Status you...
