Yes this is confirmed by numerous people - there is no reason for BLS or Indian embassy to hold on to your Canadian passport. I plan to submit my surrender application later this month at BLS in Brampton.

Original Canadian passport is not needed - only copy is sufficient.

Has your credit card been charged? If no, then then have most likely not started processing yet. It is 20 business days for mail applications so just wait.

Reverse the order of the documents and then you are in compliance - seems silly but the primary ID choice really dictates the document selection flow!

I did read the post and I also filled the online application today. For the first ID you have 2 choices - PR card or passport. When you choose PR card then the second ID drop down mandates to become one that is issued by Canadian government. On the other hand, when you choose primary as...

Choose passport as first one then for second one it shows options for document which is issued by Canadian or foreign government and PR card is one of the options

I am filling it for my child too to apply for citizenship so if you select primary ID as foreign passport then you can use PR card as secondary ID as per the online form. I am going to do this and submit.

I am also applying for my child separately. Regarding the IDs - I chose the primary ID as foreign passport - for the secondary I chose the PR card which was based on the options presented. Hopefully those 2 IDs will be considered and there won’t be any rejects or need to resubmit.

Applied for passport for self and spouse in person at Hamilton passport office on Jul 17. Opted for mail delivery - given a date of Jul 31 for mail out. Will report where passport is issued and the version once received.

Try raising a webform with your request and supporting documentation from your current home country asking for such proof. Alternatively, can the final oath email which comes when oath is scheduled not suffice as it is issued by IRCC and has confirmation that you are going to take oath thus...

Perfect - thanks for the clarification!

I recently got my citizenship and am planning to apply online for my daughter who is a US citizen. Is it ok to upload her expired PR card as 1 ID? Don’t see it mentioned in the instructions about the ID being valid - has anyone done it?

They have many different emails - and frankly it’s useless emailing them for this - they just won’t even bother to respond. The auto acknowledgement will say so that if the email is not related to already scheduled oath or oath forms it will be deleted. You are better off sending a webform...

Yes - if you have the same date and Zoom session in your oath email that is fine. My wife and I were in a similar situation last week. We applied online separately but we’re sent invites to the same oath session. We logged in from 1 machine and had both seat numbers entered on the display name...

There is no notification sent out. You receive one email with the invite code to register on the portal. If you get this email quote some time after your oath form is sent then there is a good chance it is available. You have to keep logging in, enter your application number and DOB and keep...

I got mine in Jun 5 for the ceremony on Jun 28. Each office has a different way of working - but wait upto 6 calendar days before your oath date or else you can call IRCC. Good luck!
