    January 2018 - Citizenship Applications

    You may try to contact them by phone or webform to check. However I believe that your chances are very low to get urgent processing. As you have an alternate solution to go to India (ie renew Indian passport) I'm pretty sure it won't work.

    Need HELP !about correspondence from citizenships application

    Hi, First of all, please remove the duplicate threads. I see that you created 3 of them. Concerning your question, IRCC usually send the requests by letter to the address you can find on your ECAS (online tracking). I'm not sure what you mean by CIC account. The request is likely to be for...

    New passport after oath ceremony

    For normal applications, they usually don’t even contact the guarantor or references. On the other hand for urgent applications (24h) it seems that they often call them. For the references, you actually can specify more than 2 if you feel that some may not be available. I got this information...

    Canadian citizen’s documents taken from her

    Yes, try to contact the closest consulate. Maybe they can issue her a travel authorization. Calling the police might help depending on the country she’s been held in. If they may be easily corrupted then it may not worth it, or you may need to find the proper channel so they can help. So...

    New passport after oath ceremony

    By road I think that you should be fine too. However by air you might need to double check this. Normally, once you are Canadian, you need a valid Canadian passport to enter Canada by air.

    Been working abroad, will there be a problem for the interview?

    No it’s not possible in an embassy. Interviews and ceremony only take place in processing centers and ceremony places in Canada (close to the residence address you put in the aoplication). Anyway, if you don’t plan to come back , I think that you should just withdraw your application. At least...

    Been working abroad, will there be a problem for the interview?

    @Simon I did get my citizenship while working abroad. The most important thing I think is to tell the truth. If you meet all the application criteria (physical presence, no criminal record, language,...) then they can’t deny your application. No need to try anything special, it can just...

    Reference answered wrong One question - Passport Application

    I guess it depends on the question and they probably ask other questions to cross-check. Did they call the other reference also? If the other answered ok I think you should be good.

    Alright let’s conclude this thread. At the ceremony they asked for the 2 ids in top of the PR card. I showed them my expired driving license and my foreign passport and it went ok. Thanks again for the tips.

    New passport after oath ceremony

    I suggest to change your plane tickets if possible. At what time is the ceremony? It is likely that they only enter your info in the system on Thursday. So you may only apply on Friday which is probably too late. At the ceremony they told us to wait at least one week before going abroad. So to...

    You may try to send them a message by using the web-form. Just ask them if everything is in order with your application. It seems to help sometimes.

    Am I Canadian by descent?

    I don’t think so. Canadian born abroad can’t transmit their citizenship to their children. The only ones that can are Canadian born in Canada or naturalized ones. But depending on when you were born that may change. You can verify this here...

But I'm currently working abroad and my driver's license and Health cards have just expired. I'll be back a few days before the oath, but I will have only my (foreign) passport and...
