    PR card expired outside Canada and Oath Ceremony in 30 days

    You're asking someone who didn't visit this forum for the past 3 years.

    citizenship applications stuck for too long - Those with AOR before May 2025 - Let's gather here and update

    You just have to wait more. A lot of applications in your situation get finalized in, roughly, 2 years and a half, and for the vast majority of them within 3 years. So, just wait, there's a high chance you're a citizen in less than a year. Consider talking to a lawyer if it's not the case by...

    Resubmitting online application from abroad

    Regardless of what the person you asked actually did : 1) you can't send a webform before AOR. 2) after AOR, it's pointless to tell IRCC something they already know.

    Lost PR card and beiing asked humanitarian and compassionate considerations for residency requirement

    Not necessarily. People can also only post when they have a problem they need others to help with, and move on with their life, and from this forum, the moment the problem is solved. On the topic itself : someone who only has minimum wiggle room, shouldn't see the buffer as "the number of days...

    Incomplete Application of citizenship for unclear reason of fees

    An application can only be expedited in limited situations : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/adult-minor/how/urgent.html "IRCC screwed up and I lost 3 months" isn't one of those. In practice, it's as if you just applied and the previous...

    May 2026 - Citizenship Applications Time Line

    She can, but it's not needed. IRCC doesn't really care.

    LPP to OATH Statistics Jan-Aug 2026

    There is no correlation between when the test gets completed and when other steps are validated. Even if you got your answer, it will tell you absolutely nothing about when your own application can be completed.

    Immigration and citizenship status question (q13)

    If IRCC wanted to limit it to a specific timeframe, they would have said so. They don't : it's since birth. The answer is obviously yes.

    Do i need to declare uber/skip/doordash etc?

    @MaplePath2026 unless it involves criminal activity, IRCC doesn't care about your work history outside the 5 years eligibility period. You can, but you don't need to notify them of anything work related after you send the application.

    Citizenship applicants who moved after getting PR through PNP

    Click that person's username. You'll have access to their posts history. The answer is there.

    Humanitarian PRTD refused left Canada as a child

    That's the kind of questions that you should ask an experienced immigration lawyer. If it really matters to you, spend some money to get a professional's opinion on whether an appeal has a realistic chance to succeed. If the lawyer tells you that chances are slim or even non existant, well...

    PR card renewal potential mistake regarding vacation dates.

    You need to enter the actual days you entered and left Canada. What you did credited you for 2 additional days for each trip. Yes, you need to amend this.

    Address

    IRCC doesn't expect people to put their vacation addresses there, but it's a matter of common sense. A 2 weeks vacation in Dominican Republic? No need to list the hotel. 7 months in your home country? Well, you lived there for a significant amount of time. It's better to list it.

    Additional documents- citizenship application

    @yasemin09 dont worry about it. It's useful or even mandatory for the University of Munich or Buenos Aires, but not needed for Canadian universities. I also only provided the diploma from my Canadian university, not even including the transcripts if I remember (it's been years...) and it went...

    Citizenship Application - Expired and Seized Passport Situation

    Whether you absolutely need to explain the gap, not sure honestly. I remember there was room for it on paper applications, but if not available on the online app : the section where you can provide additional documentation is at the end of the online application. A LOE here would be a good idea.

    Citizenship Application - Expired and Seized Passport Situation

    Upload everything you have and don't worry about it. For the vast majority of applicants, IRCC doesn't ask to validate the documents through in interview, and if they do, well, you tell the truth, which will satisfy them. Also, in the section where you're supposed to explain any gap between...

    Late Feb 2026 and Early March 2026 LPP pending

    Any hope? For an application made 6 months ago or so? Kinda premature isn't it? Also, you can answer the "people in the same boat" yourself. Have a look here : https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html By selecting successive...

    Request for All-pages of Passport by email

    1) not necessarily. IRCC can just continue the processing of the applications with the new received documents. And maybe they didn't look at them yet, but they received them, don't worry about it. 2) you already know the answer to this one. Trust your capacity to understand the "mail to the...

    Regd 5 year eligibility period

    Not necessarily, but the system expects a return date to Canada for the last trip. People sometimes just put the application date as a return date there, have a buffer, and make sure to clarify the situation via a LOE. It may lead to additional scrunity/delays, especially on top of the already...

    Regd 5 year eligibility period

    Very probably. I've never seen a case where IRCC asks for updated pictures even for applications that last years and years. The 6 months requirement is only in regard to the application date. @DelhiUSCanada if that's indeed the case, we're talking about what could be seen as a brand new...
