    Received Interview Request for Canada Citizenship

    Its always possible to ask, but I have no idea if IRCC will respond positively to such request, or what would be needed as a justification to get a positive answer. No-one can say. Some people get an invitation a few days later, others will wait months, and others may even need to come back to...

    confused with buffer days

    It's always safer to wait a bit, but at the end of the day, it's a personal decision. Also, IMHO, if you're speaking about calculation errors, the first thing to do, regardless of the buffer itself, is to double check and triple check your trips. A spotless application with no mistake at all is...

    2.5 Years Stuck in the Security

    It's pretty much telling IRCC "please wrap things up within the next few weeks, else I'll start the mandamus proceedings". I case you're wondering, a carefully drafted one from a reputable lawyer may move the needle for applications that are not stuck in security, but in the recent years, IRCC...

    Additional documents-Citizenship

    The vast majority of these situations happen with tourists under visitor visas, or potentially just an eTA for visa free countries. People here under study or work permits usually have no issues at with pre-PR days, including myself and family members of mine.

    Additional documents-Citizenship

    IRCC issued these documents. They can verify your status through their own system. They don't need these.

    Immigration and citizenship status question (q13)

    1) Of course you need to disclose your Saudi residence status. 2) You don't need to be employed to get the citizenship. 3) IRCC doesn't care about tourist visas. You can safely skip. Some people list them out of an abundance of caution, feel free to do so in case skipping stresses you.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    @rlponline I mean, sure, send a webform to IRCC to let them know you're back if you want, but besides that , all there is to do is to be patient. Your AOR was only 3 months ago, you're not "behind the curve".

    Online citizenship physical presence all day trips also required?

    Yes to both questions.

    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.

    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 ...
