    December 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

    Mine moved after I pointed out the errors and simultaneously contacted MP too. If you don’t get oath in another 2 weeks, I would strongly urge you to contact your MP again.

    December 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

    I am sorry you had to wait so long. Was it the security check that caused the delay? Thankfully you are close to the finish line. I hope you get the oath invite soon. I feel like it may be on its way in the next couple of weeks. I don’t think you are wrong to feel upset with them. It is...

    EVERYBODY’s file goes through a final check. Not sure how that can be characterised as discrimination or racism.

    No it can’t be equal, because it depends on what they find.

    December 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

    They do a review after LPP is complete to recheck if any issues are found. Sometimes this check can lead to further investigation.

    Stamp Received on Indian Passport in USA after Surrender on Acquiring Canadian Citizenship

    Kind of a surprising development... After waiting a week and not receiving a response to my Pramit submission on CGI website, I called the consulate today. They admonished me for not getting this corrected. (Like, that's what I am trying to do but anyway...). They then told me I can walk in to...

    Stamp Received on Indian Passport in USA after Surrender on Acquiring Canadian Citizenship

    Yes, as agreed in my original post too "The word USA is part of the stamp and so it maybe that it is not an error, and they have no other stamp so they put that for everyone. " What I am looking for from my posting is confirmation from others in my exact position (Canadian citizen renouncing...

    Stamp Received on Indian Passport in USA after Surrender on Acquiring Canadian Citizenship

    "...acquisition of citizenship of another country." Doesn't change the fact that the stamp on the passport is incorrect. For those who might not be aware, claiming to be a US Citizen when one is not is very serious offence in the US, even if done by mistake. It renders one forever ineligible...

    Stamp Received on Indian Passport in USA after Surrender on Acquiring Canadian Citizenship

    This is a question to former Indian citizens who surrendered their Indian passports in US after acquiring Canadian citizenship - Could you please advise what the stamp that CGI put in your passport says? I surrendered mine to CGI NY through VFS and they put a stamp that states “as holder...

    Urgent Processing - Citizenship Application (Lets meet here )

    1. I have no idea. I suspect it won’t preclude it. 2. Create new application with urgent processing. Doing anything else will just result in delays.

    Urgent Processing - Citizenship Application (Lets meet here )

    1. Yes definitely worth a shot. There is a good chance your request will get approved. 2. Timelines vary a lot, so any estimates don’t mean much. If your UP is approved and you do not need to undergo security screening, you can usually expect a processing time of 3-4 months (could be less or...

    Outside Canada - Oath of Citizenship

    Please refer to my message from a few days ago. It appears the policy has changed and IRCC is allowing oaths to be taken outside Canada.

    Applying for Canadian Passport with US Citizen Occupation Guarantor

    Thanks yeah I have seen IRCC making such errors with citizenship applications. Probably best to do what the majority do, and get a Canadian passport holder as a guarantor.

    How long does it take to get citizenship e certificate after the oath

    My oath is likely going to be on Friday August 18. I am planning to travel to Canada from August 17, returning August 20 (Thursday to Sunday). I am hoping I get my ecert the same day as oath, so I can apply for passport by mail and then return to US. I know it probably varies, but for...

    Passport application by mail - does the print out of the electronic certificate need to be signed by guarantor?

    Question as per title. I know photos and ID need to be signed. The instructions also say any supporting documents need to be signed by guarantor. The instructions are silent on whether ecertificate needs to be signed. My guess is - no, because that can be verified by the passport office... but...

    Applying for Canadian Passport with US Citizen Occupation Guarantor

    I live in the United State and don't know any Canadians here. I wanted to use my sister who is an MD and US citizen as a guarantor. I know this is allowed, using form PPTC140 instead of the usual PPTC153. My question is - are there any risks going this route considering it is likely not usual...
