I applied for citizenship in January 2023, did my test in May 2023. In December 2023, I was charged with DUI, which was later changed to careless driving under HTA in March 2024 with 1 year probation which ends on February 2025. I got fingerprint request and I submitted it, then I got interview call. At interview I disclosed the above situation. Now I got a final notice letter relating to the DUI charges explanation. My matter was summary and there is no criminal implication. How will it affect my application? Will it be refused or I have to wait for the oath until I complete my probation? Please advise

Would advise you to at least speak with a qualified lawyer.

I have the same issue, but I have not yet applied for my Canadian citizenship. Did you get any feedback from your application? Will this affect your PR?
