    Citizenship applications for Protected Persons

    There's no real way to answer this question. Officially, there's no difference. How long a specific application will take depends on many factors. Nationality may (not necessarily will!) be a factor for a lengthy application, if you're wondering about factors that the applicant can't control...

    August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

    Prohibitions encompasses everything that may prevent you from becoming a citizen, that includes security and criminality checks, language issues, knowledge issues, physical presence issues... In practice, it turns green when everything else does. Often at the same time as the last pending other...

    "Been convicted of an offence outside Canada" on Citizenship application - Speeding Ticket

    A standard speeding violation isn't a criminal offense in Canada or the US, so, just put no and move on. Obviously, if the "speeding" here is an euphemism for reckless driving, street racing or anything else that far exceeds "going 60 km/h in a 50 zone", that may be a different story.

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

    Yeah sure, list them. Whether you list each company separately or together probably doesn't matter. You can put N/A for the address.

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    And, it only took a day since prohibitions to be scheduled for oath! December 6 according to the tracker. I suppose the email invitation will be sent by next week. 2 years and a half total then, quite the wait... :D

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    It took nearly a month for prohibitions to be cleared. November 24. Oh well, only one step left, the best one. Hopefully happening in 2025.

    No updates in my Citizenship application

    I agree with the comments above regarding asking for GCMS notes. Usually, it's either the security checks or the physical presence that seem to be the blocker, but both have been marked as complete, so it's an unusual situation. Can OP think of any issue with, say, their language proof ? For the...

    August 2025 citizenship application, got fingerprinting request but no AOR yet anyone in same situation?

    You very probably received the AOR email in the spam folder and missed it, or a bug happened at IRCC level and the automated email wasn't sent. You can call IRCC and clarify this to ensure you yet future emails for test, ceremonies and all, but your AOR absolutely happened behind the scenes.

    Citizenship Application for Minors

    That's a possibility, but it probably doesn't need to come to this. I'd suggest OP to call IRCC. Technical issues are probably the one thing the agent on the other side can help with.

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    No need to post this in many threads. People read most of them you know. That being said, yeah, IRCC is hella confusing wen clicking Background Check and Prohibitions sections in the tracker lead to the same link ...

    How did you manage to access the tracker? Seems like it's still unavailable to me.

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    BG can potentially take 2 to 3 years for some. But that has nothing to do with IRCC itself. It's mostly at CSIS and CBSA level.

    Question regarding work/school section

    Just report your actual situation truthfully and as accurately as possible. IRCC is just trying here to get a sense of your presence in Canada along with your other statements (travel history, address history). They don't really care about your actual employment situation.

    Looking for a full list of all names mentioned in Discover Canada (2021)

    Faire point, but I've been lurking here for years and have not seen such a list. I'd say that the main reason is that most important names are in the historical events sections anyway (it's hard to skip MacDonald if we're speaking about 1867 right? :d), so it would mostly be a repeat. The only...

    Looking for a full list of all names mentioned in Discover Canada (2021)

    Not that it answers your question, but if you're at the point where you've been through the summary of dates and historical events, which obviously includes the people associated with these events, you're probably more than ready to pass the test. Anyone who prepares it a minimum is a guaranteed...

    Calculating physical presence

    What you want sooner than later is getting your oath ceremony. You don't control how things will go at IRCC level, but you "maximise your luck" by having the most complete, precise and ordinary application possible. That includes applying from the country to wish to become a citizen of. Use...

    2023 Citizenship Applications

    As you'll see from most timelines, it'ss kinda been the trend for people stuck in security to wait between 2 and 3 years from when the application was sent. When the test was completed means nothing really.
