Yes they told me that different offices process differently. Some charge the credit card at the start of the processing, and some are charging the fee at the very end.

You can send both applications together. Make sure to binder them separately, so that they don't get messed up. What I did -- I put application for myself and my husband in separate white envelopes and then I put both envelopes into one Xpresspost envelope. I don't think anyone understands what...

Finally I have an update! App Sent -- Sep 12 (from Toronto) App Delivered -- Sep 15 (no update since then, raised a complaint and got a call from Passport Office in Vancouver last week saying that they aim to process applications from Sep 15 this week and when I see a charge, that means that...

Life is unpredictable, but the accident was his fault. This is a reminder that rules, especially traffic rules exist for a reason. He decided to play a Russian roulette game with breaking the rules and got his reward. I have no compassion for him if he is deported.

Omg why do you think they did????

Yes, we're in the same batch apparently :)

Okay, so I got a call from the passport office which is processing my application. They told me that they are processing now the batch that they have received on Sep 8th, and the batches are pretty big, like hundreds of applications in each. So roughly in about 1-2 weeks they are hoping to...

I bet if you call them, they will say "oh it's still processing, and our current timelines are up to 2 months and there is no other update that we can provide" )))

Hey! I am in the same boat with you! App Sent Sep 14, 2020 App Delivered Sep 15, 2020 NO update since then, I called them twice already. They said that my file is in review (it has been in review since Sep 25th), and can't confirm when they will complete due to delays. This is so frustrating.

Whole form. When you use the fillable pdf, it changes everything to capital letters

That could be the case, I received my citizenship certificate just few days after the oath (literally the Oath was on Monday, and the certificate arrived end of that week. There was also someone who got his certificate 2 days after the Oath

I said that I will sign electronically, but will have a print out just in case there are any tech issues :)

UPDATE: I received a phone call today to confirm my (and my spouse's) details :)

Hey guys! I have just received an email invitation to virtual oath ceremony (like an hour ago). I am from Toronto, my test location was Scarborough. My timeline is as follows: Application received August 6, 2019 Started processing November 27, 2019 Test (Scarborough): Feb 13, 2020 DM: Feb 14...

That's why it is good to file tax returns even if you don't have the income. That might not be a problem, but IRCC might require additional info from you given that your income information is missing from CRA on particular year. I would pro-actively include affidavit with your application...

Test Date: Feb 13 2020 DM: Feb 13 2020 No oath invite, still waiting

Yes, now as I got my PPR I can confirm this option can work as it worked for me! I did exactly the same thing :)
