Hey folks
Wanted to see if anyone had faced a similar issue and what are the options to proceed with the application. I have yet to contact the IRCC Client Support Center for support.
I mailed my application for citizenship on Feb 8th 2020, and it was received by CPC Sydney on March 17th 2020.
My application was returned as incomplete on August 6th and the following sections were highlighted:
16. Prohibitions: To be eligible to become a Canadian citizen, you cannot be prohibited under the Citizenship Act.
7. In the 10 years immediately before the date of your citizenship application, was your Canadian citizenship taken away (revoked) for reasons of false representation, fraud, or knowingly concealing material circumstances.
9. While a permanent resident, have you:
I have truthfully answered "No" on my application, never been arrested by the police in Canada or elsewhere.
I became a landed immigrant to Quebec in 2008 via a temporary work visa, and then became a permanent resident in 2013 via the Quebec skilled workers program.
Due to the fact that I have not been outside of Canada for more than 183 days or more in a row in the past 4 years, I have not provided a police certificate with my citizenship application. But I did provide a police certificate for my permanent resident application, have successfully left and re-entered Canada a number of times since receiving PR (to Ireland for vacation and the US for business) without any issues.
Thanks a million - Jerry
