Oh interesting. I hadn’t thought of that as an option. This is possible I guess?

question on applying for first passport: presently working in the US, where I’m also a citizen. Will be in Canada for a couple weeks in late June and from what I understand, there’s no issue for me as a Canadian citizen crossing the border on a US passport if I don’t get have a CAN passport...

Your communications will all be via email and, when you get to oath, as stated above you have an option to get an e-cert, or, you can also update them with a new address. If you're still out of the country when you get to oath, note that getting a physical certificate mailed to you is complicated.

oh cool, thanks, its good to see that written out. I was asking based on past experience of not having my Pr card, but I guess that's a slightly different situation as PR status has expiry whee citizenship does not.

Hi! Haven finally gotten my citizenship certificate, I need to get a passport, and have a travel question I'm trying to sort out: I'm currently in USA, and can apply via mail from the US, BUT I am needing to travel back to Canada in a couple weeks, for certain sooner than a mailed in passport...

hiya! If anyone is still updating the google doc, here's the final info for the second application I have on there: pdo (1) Oath letter received Wed, Mar 15, 2023 Oath ceremony (virtual) Wed, 29 Mar, 2023

I can give them an address in Canada via family, so I think we'll just do that. Though, curious, do you have a a virtual address service you recommend?

I got excited reading about the e-certificate thing! but yes, its only by invitation and pilot project for pre Jan 2023 applicants. We also thought about requesting an in person, so certificate would be issued on the spot, but that also seems like it opens up complications and unknown delays.

ah, was just coming in here to ask about the tracker being down, and looks like that's happening for others. Here with a question though about applicants who are currently out of Canada: When I got my invitation to do Oath, I was living outside of Canada due to family and work things. I...

Jun 2021 Applicant, online. FINALLY got Oath scheduled for mid march. This will be about a year after taking (and passing) test online in March 2022. Been sitting with no activity or updates since then.

mine took about two months in the fall, this was through MB/SK office.

so, just out of curiosity then, what does getting GCMS do for one? just give some insight into what is going on? I feel like I had read somewhere the notion that with stalled applications it might help kick up some action on a stalled application....

Thanks for this! and, I think what I am gathering here is that this doesn't really tell me anything, but maybe perhaps kicks the application up so maybe, MAYBE, someone will pay attention to it? We're coming up on a year since last activity on this application. Test is passed, waiting on...

Hi GCMS vs ATIP notes. I don't quite undertsand how to request these. I'm an online applicant from June 2021. Last update was when xthe test was taken, which was in March 2022. I've sent an email to our processing office, which is Vancouver. But should I request GCMS at this stage? And if so...

Oh, another thing to note on our applications in addition to what I outlined above: My PR card was expiring in August 2022, and I got my oath invite at the end of July. My partner's PR card expired in 2021, a few months after we applied for citizenship. They also applied for a PR renewal, so...

joining this thread as we have an app that falls into the forgotten 2021 online pit. Details are: Applied: 22 Jun 2021 Test Invite letter: 25 February 2022 Test Interview date: 21 March 2022 Test updated to Completed on 23 March 2022 Oath Letter Date: TBD Oath Ceremony: TBD Test and Background...

Yeah I dunno. They insisted that I had to be in person the first time I applied. It’s also seemed odd to me, but that’s why I was looking for more info.

The oath letter states it and they reiterated it during my in person ceremony. This won’t matter for virtual oath as by the time you get your certificate the system has processed your info.

Two individual apps made in June 2021. both followed more or less same time frame up throigh test, which we both took in March 2022. One app then followed test invite with fingerprint request. That app then had oath invite for august 2022 (online). other app has been stalled out since March...

More specifically: I am receiving my citizenship certificate in person at a ceremony. I’m needing to leave Canada right after though, to US, but want to apply for passport asap. I can’t apply the day after my ceremony as you need to wait 2 business days. can I apply by mail from the US for my...
