February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[chelavnzuo]

Ok, were you in a visitor visa? If so did you overstay more than 6 months without leaving Canada? Did you apply for open work permit

yes but it's supervisa so I can stay for more 2 yrs not jut 6 months.

now I'm curious about your example, say someone was in a traditional visitor visa, overstayed for a year without leaving Canada, and did not apply for open work permit, but then somehow got married and PR in this case CIC will be unable to verify the 1 year period of illegal overstay, therefore return the application, is this the case? if so then this person needs to prove and carve out the period of overstay, recalculate the residency, provide evidence of overstay(??), and resubmit the application?

Anyone studying for the test? What’s the best source to study?

@vnexpress @tanjid12 Quick update - My application from Feb 20th was returned today because they're saying they can't verify my physical presence before I became a PR. I will attach all relevant documents and resubmit it. If you're also using temporary resident days and were on maintained status they might send you a similar email, so better prepare your LOE and relevant docs in advance.

Glad somebody at least looked at it. Hope you get your AORs soon. I also sent a webform to nudge them. Maybe that worked.

I guess it's time for me to track the March, 2025 thread now. Good luck to everyone here.

Called again today. They couldn't find the application online. They sent the information to office so that they can locate it. I am not sure what I should do now. It has been so long since I applied. Should I just apply again.

I think you should just reapply because your payment receipt was never used and it isn't attached to any application. IRCC is a mess.

Yeah that's what I am going to do now. I will just apply again.


I didn't file tax for 2024 yet. In the application they asked were you required to files taxes for this year (2024)? Should I say yes?
