Spot on eileenf…It's all optics and politics. Anything/anyone's fair game. Impeccable timing for improved citizenship application timelines, reform, 2015 tax breaks (the list is endless).

Lived in Italy for three years before moving to Canada so I know all too well what you are talking about. Canada has a lot more to offer you and your future family. Best of luck!

Best of luck

I found the Richmond Library practice test website to be very useful too. Link below; http://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/ Good luck.

I would suggest including a cover letter explaining why you are re-applying. I think this will be more important than the additional proof of residence documents (which they have from your previous RQ anyways). Good luck.

Mine took exactly 10 business days. If you need to have it sooner, don't bank on the regular processing being faster, go for the urgent processing option.

No issue with that.

For your child (born outside Canada) to be eligible for citizenship, I believe you ( the parent) must have been a citizen at the time of his/her birth.

I don't have an answer to your question but some advice for any other applicants in a similar situation (I.e. one family member applying later). I applied a year after my wife and kid and included a letter requesting CIC to merge my application with theirs. This accelerated my application while...

Agree with jujuberanch. The expired one will be just fine. If it makes you feel any better, call CIC and confirm.

Just wait till you meet the physical residence obligations, then apply.

To be honest, if you check your residence calculation thoroughly and are confident there are no mistakes, then you should be fine applying once you accumulate 1095 days. I applied once I had 1095 days and had no problems during the process all the way to oath ceremony. No RQ. Also consider I had...

This is not an issue at all. I had made the online payment then noticed errors in my residence calculation days due to travel. I applied a whole month after the payment date..no problems whatsoever.

Congratulations!

Congratulations!

First off, sorry for your loss. I believe your application for a PR travel document from England triggered the RQ. A call in to CIC stating you'd be out of the country to avoid getting the oath invitation would probably have taken care of this. Look at it this way; an application from England...

Ever been to Africa FL1040?

Thanks Andriy. Guess your oath will be anytime soon.

My family and I became Canadian citizens today. Best of luck to everyone else in the queue.

I agree with eileenf. The letter explicitly requests all passports and shouldn't be taken lightly. Please keep us posted on what the CIC officials have to say. Good luck.
