    March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

Applied online: March 22 AOR: April 3 Background complete: May 15 Test invite: July...

    how my status... please help T_T

    Unfortunately, you have made a mistake. You must include the OWP application in order to obtain implied status. You are now without status :(

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Nah, many outland applicants will have a different address than their sponsor. That's not an issue. The problem I ran into was listing my address in the US as my residential address, but listing my husband's address in Canada as my mailing address (since I am staying here with him currently)...

    Supporting documents

    That's why you are only required to submit three items from the list. Since you would not have a joint lease or anything of that nature, you would need to submit these three items: -Important documents for you or your sponsor showing that you are recognized as each other's spouse (such as...

    Yes, the documents can overlap. You may want to attach a letter explaining which documents fill which requirements to prevent any confusion. :) It's important to note that the documents can overlap on the two different lists, but not WITHIN the same list - I hope that makes sense? One document...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    There were a lot more people, but it looks like someone went through the table last night and cleared out a bunch of people who had still not received their AOR. You, me, and one other are the only people who didn't get deleted... lol. At least someone else thinks there is hope for us yet. ;) If...

    Spouse Sponsorship - New Process Question

    No - there is no longer a difference between the APPLICATION PACKAGE used for inland and outland applicants. Both categories now use the same package. However, you still indicate whether you are inland or outland on the forms when you apply. There are a couple of differences between the two...

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    Since you sent it by regular mail without tracking, I wouldn't be too concerned yet. You don't know for sure when it arrived, and with the way Canada Post can be, I wouldn't necessarily assume it arrived before the end of April. If you mailed it on the 21st, it would need to have arrived within...

    Yes, if they are a step sibling or half sibling, you should indicate that on the form.

    MARCH 2017 *OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANT*

    That just means you got lucky. If your application is returned to you, it's such a common reason for return that they have a pre-printed paragraph about how the 2 addresses need to be the same that they highlight on the letter.

    ***APRIL 2017***SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA

    I can't speak for OP, but usually the call center won't be able to tell you anything about your application if you have not received your AOR - they will just tell you it's not in the system yet. So if you go a very long time without receiving AOR, but your application is not sent back to you...

    MARCH 2017 *OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANT*

    Yup, you are correct. The primary applicant's residential address and mailing address must be listed as the same address. If they are not, you also need to include the Use of a Representative form indicating who actually "resides" at that mailing address and authorizing them to receive your...

    How to apply for Open work permit from within Canada

    Hey there, I didn't apply inland or do OWP myself, but I just wanted to let you know that the answer to question #1 is yes. You actually cannot apply for the OWP if you are applying outland, so I'm not sure where you were seeing that. You must apply inland to be able to apply for the OWP. I also...
