    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    It's fucked isn't it? If you applied in April, it'll take you 13 months. But if you applied in May/June/July, you've probably already a citizen.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Cheers, I've sent it off to IRCC with the translated stamps and an LOE explaining the oversight in not including the older passport. Nothing I can do but wait!

    Thanks so much, I used an app called CamScanner. God bless AI technology. Not perfect but it does a good job and is easy to use, plus if you forgot to scan pages (I skipped over several) you can add them and re-order them on the app. Life saver. Ahhh okay thanks for telling. I chose to get them...

    Haha I wish. You cannot access passport details for any reason as an immigration officer. It must be on legitimate grounds, including the processing of an application or some other legal reason. My dad could do it but if gets audited, which immigration officers do here (drug tests, electronic...

    Ah fuck I forgot to mention the old passport, the one from 2011 to 2021, in my citizenship application form as I forgot about it :/. Now what do I do? Perhaps this is why they asked me for an interview. I'm guessing I submit both passports and a letter of explanation that I mistakenly failed to...

    Spoke to my dad about what you guys said. Wish I could get you guys in a room together lol, he maintains that if you come to Australia, he will know your global travel history upon scanning or obtaining your passport details. He won't say much more about the how, but maintains any immigration...

    My dad is an Australian immigration officer and says every immigration officer in the world should be able to access your full travel history if they have your passport details so he has no idea why they're asking. Anyway thanks for the positivity. Hoping to cross the line soon or ill just live...

    Well - you would think they dealt or significantly reduced the problem of people making mistakes with their physical presence as the online application does have an automated calculator, so I have no hesitation I calculated 1099 days correctly. My PR was indeed Saskatchewan PNP - and yes...

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Thanks I hope so... I can't make the interview as I'm overseas and they ask for a "reasonable explanation" if you can't make it. Should I send them flight tickets as evidence or just mention I'm overseas, date of return etc. I also am self-employed in Canada, generally do work for overseas...

    Finally got an update. The invited me to an interview in January. Letter states: "You will be interviewed by a citizenship officer or agent to verify your identity and the originals of the documents you provided at the time you applied. You will also be asked to answer any concerns we may have...

    Sounds like an IRCC problem. I'm also Australian and the concept of an online citizenship disgusts us, yet we facilitate in-person ceremonies efficiently and with equal processing times for citizenship applications as Canada. There's lamington cake, biscuits and tea because its an Australian...

    Good old IRCC. I'm a simple, single applicant with application sent on 23 April and no updates after AOR/background complete in August. And you guys are getting citizenship before me.

    April 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Why are you guys calling IRCC? Stop wasting their time. Stop wasting your time. You have been through the PR process before. You know the game. Your application isn't magically lost on the internet somewhere. There are hundreds of thousands of PRs applying to become citizens each year, and...

    Just finished test today. 20/20. I studied hard for that test, including doing my research on figures such as Louis Riel and Louis Hippolyte-Lafontaine. I liked doing the test - great way to to learn more about Canada's history.
