    Travelling to India while Citizenship application is in-progress

    I'm travelling to India late September 2024. I submitted my application sometime back in Feb/Mar 2024. Today I got the invitation to take the citizenship test. Should I postpone the test when I come back? Or is it possible to give the test, travel to India, and then attend the ceremony?

    Applying for passport

    Thanks so much for providing all the details. This passport office is very close by. I thought line-up would be less at 8.30 AM as it's really early in the morning but it seems 11 AM is better?

    Applying for passport

    Hi RandomUser514, I'm not really sure how to check for walk-in. I live in core downtown. I'm assuming the passport is not handed out the same day of appointment. If that's the case, I'm okay with a date in next month. I have to travel outside of Canada in October and will need to book in...

    Probably too late to expect a reply on this. Just wondering where can I confirm this? Is it mentioned somewhere on the CIC website? Did the OP get his PR by applying without bachelor's evaluation?
