    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    Hi. I wanted to know after applying for citizenship, is it possible to stay outside Canada while the application is in process (aside from giving the citizenship test and oath taking)? I read that the processing time is about 6 months to a year, so does one need to be physically present in...

    Thanks for your response. Can I use the IELTS test score that I used to get my PR around 2018? I'll also check the police verification requirements

    Application for Canadian Citizenship - A Comprehensive Guide

    I'm about 9 months away from being eligible to file for citizenship. Is there any process that I can get done before that to speed up the process? Any documents that I could keep ready now so that when I reach the date I'll just have to submit the form?

    I get a lot of pushback on this forum about adjusting the RO to meet the ground realities in Canada even as more and more people are finding it difficult if not impossible to meet the RO but most of the pushback comes from a mindset of "I went through the same or worse so should you" OR guilty...

    Residency requirements due to personal and family health

    If you end up going the H&C route, go with an excellent lawyer. Maybe you did the PR application yourself as there's not much technicality involved but H&C is more complicated as it's totally upto the discretion of the adjudicating officer no matter how convinced you are about your case. A good...

    Permanent Residence Status - Expire due to Covid

    Providing an explanation is not an issue but leaving the PR status upto chance is because you're at the mercy of the immigration officer who will determine whether your reasons are valid or not. You're right in that the focus is on people who are currently in Canada which can be clearly seen...

    Permanent Residence Status - Expire due to Covid

    @armoured The point I'm making is that if the applicant is not able to meet the RO because of Covid then that explanation should suffice specially for PRs depending on 2020 and 2021 for completion of their ROs. Infact it should be a no questions asked checkbox on the PR renewal form by now...

    Didn’t meet residency requirements!
