    Is providing CBSA useful?

    The only reason to ask for the CBSA report would be to double check the trips in advance. As it's not the case for you, it's useless to you. The only things that potentially speed up the physical presence assessment : 1) Very precise application with no mistakes. 2) Good buffer over 1095 days...

    Mistake / misrepresentation please advise

    1 and 2) doesn't matter in itself. IRCC is well aware of tax season... It only really becomes relevant if you didn't accumulate 3 other years where you complied with tax requirements. 3) no biggie either. And it's outside Canada, so doesn't affect how the answer here helps IRCC establish...

    Parents citizenship application

    1) unless there's a specific section for it, sure. 2) dunno, but probably not. 3) general rule : only provide what IRCC does asks for. And IRCC doesn't ask for these docs. 4) 1097 days is a VERY small buffer. Maybe it ultimately makes no difference at all, especially if your parents never left...

    Non-Routine Citizenship Applications (2024–2025) – Timelines

    I mean, they can, but it's not a relevant information. Each adult application is processed separately, and potentially becomes non-routine regardless of family or single. It's as useful as asking for the favorite NHL team of applicants.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    You can even get the total info, not only the very small subset of applicants who ended up in an online excel sheet : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html 8200 people ahead of you if you put December 2023. 9800 if you put...

    Jan Citizenship Application with No Buffer and Application Got returned for more information

    It's 5 indeed.

    Jan Citizenship Application with No Buffer and Application Got returned for more information

    The physical presence is locked at the date you sent the application. Being inside or outside Canada since then changes nothing to the number of days you accumulated.

    Citizenship Interview - currently in US

    You can ask via webform : https://ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=786&top=5 Whether the interview gets reschudeled, or if the reschedule date works for you isn't a guarantee. Same for a potential oath invitation in the future. You'll need to figure out the logistics, and if it...

    citizenship exam query

    The information given by @Ash G. Is actually outdated. It used to be an obligation to take the test from Canada, even if inline, but it's not the case anymore. The online test can be taken from anywhere. Check the "pick a good test location" section in the official page ...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    @Roop13 no big deal, just enter the correct information and move on. The small mistake in the PR application was properly noticed but ignored because you very probably applied with more days than what's required to renew the card.

    Virtual Oath Ceremony for Spouses: One Laptop or Two?

    You can do both. Go with what you prefer really. An IRCC clerk validates the IDs at the beginning of the call, so they'll know you went with a single laptop if you choose to.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    Well, it may happen tomorrow you know. No-one actually knows how your specific application will go. You're getting there. And once it happens, you'll quickly forget how long the whole thing took. Good luck!

    Karachi university Bcom as language proof

    Please note that providing a diploma as a language proof is not a "waiver", but an actual proof, just like IELTS. And everyone is free to select the proof of their choice when applying for citizenship, regardless of how they got their PR. For OP : did she study in English, not just a specific...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    A few days to a few months. For people who have been waiting since 2023, IRCC tends to speed things up once every hurdle is crossed, so expect it "soon", probably within a month.

    Can't add Travel History in Citizenship Application

    You need to report all trips from and to Canada within the 5 years eligibility period, so from mid 2021. What I don't understand : if you only arrived in 2022, how is there even a trip in 2021 to report? Were you in Canada in 2021 as a tourist maybe? Of is this a trip between 2 countries that...

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Nah, I just meant providing accurate information regarding the physical presence dates. And my suggestion is always to stick to what IRCC asks for. And it asks for none of these things.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Family members of mine in that situation applied with a couple weeks buffer and got their citizenship in 4 months in 2003. I'd say 2 weeks or a month is a good buffer IF there are no mistakes in the physical presence. So, make sure you don't forget a vacation, mix dates and such. The best way to...
