February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[Champ7653]

Looks like March 1st applicants are getting AOR starting Mar 13-17, and March 2-7 applicants started to get AOR the week of Mar 16, but not everyone.
I'd suggest you get more information from below:
March 2025 - Citizenship Applications thread ( https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/march-2025-citizenship-applications.867956/ )
Google tracker March 2025 ( https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ACBbny4p3sPuappmUf5Yl9o1EPlFL0tRD-zPb3LnoyY/edit?gid=1674299663#gid=1674299663 )

And I guess your AOR will come soon!

Thank you so much for your response.

looks like I am the only one left to get aor for March 3rd

Assuming that you've already received AOR, and it is only one wrong info your application has.

I'd suggest that you call IRCC and ask their advise. Tell them you've found incorrect information on your application.
You don't need to tell them your thought - e.g. you made a mistake. (They never know whether an applicant made a mystake, an appicant attempts to lie or IRCC system made an error and didn't register info correctly)
IRCC will have a look at your application on system and tell you what should you do.
Also you can submit correction through IRCC webform.

This is just my thought from what I read other threads and I can't guarantee/promise anything. Please take full responsibility for your actions because I can't liable fo any trouble and loss caused by this post...
I personally think that yours wouldn't be a big issue because it is only one and it was about 2024 tax filing.
IRCC may take a bit more time to make sure your tax return history, but I think it wouldn't make your process under non-routine. My expected worst case is they return your application or invite an interview. Good luck.

I mean like you said, it was only 2024 Tax, which they know it was not even the time for Tax filing. Are we getting interviews after our online citizenship test? I thought it's the test only and then oath. Any more suggestion ? Shall i file the Tax 2024 ?

Only IRCC can determine whether or not they invite you for interview. I personally guess it will less to no likely happen but only the worst case.
It's up to you to contact IRCC.

The best advise must be provided by IRCC. Call IRCC customer support centre. Explain that you found 2024 tax return marked as "yes" although you did not.

1-888-242-2100
After you enter your UCI
Press 1 to confirm UCI
Press 3
Press 4
Press 0

They will see your application in IRCC system and may say "in our system, your 2024 income tax return is marked as Not filed yet" (and this is what I guess)
If they will find IRCC system has "yes" for "you did file taxes for 2024 tax year", an operator may tell you what should you do.

If you are required to file your taxes for 2024 tax year, you should file your 2024 tax return anyway.

Fingers crossed

I am applying for Citizenship application online and have following queries before I submit my application:

1. Do I need to submit Police Certificate from Pakistan? I visited two times my home country since I became PR and both times it was 1 month visit separately?
2. If I am applying online do I need to upload the Physical Presence Calculator? Also, do I need to upload entry/exit stamps on my Passport and Boarding passes for my visits to home country Pakistan?
3. Do I need to upload Job letter/Salary slips? I have filed taxes for 2022,2023,2024.
4. For online application, do I need to submit Document Checklist and CIT0002e form?
5. For citizenship test, Is the Discover Canada guide is enough for preparation on IRCC website?

I will appreciate your answers. Thank you!

how long does it usually take to update Online Tracker? I passed my citizenship exam on 18th march, its not updated on tracker yet. Also, I saw a ghost update on 15 march but nothing updated.

 

[anilch]

Usually it takes 2-3 days after the exam to get updated in the tracker.

1. No need to submit Police Certificate for those two visits. If any trip in last 4 years which is longer than 6 months continuously, then you need to submit the Police Certificate.
2. For online application, everything is included in the applications itself. There is no need to submit physical presence calculation done previously. And for online application, the passport biodata pages are sufficient. No entry, exit stamp copies needed.
3. No need to upload job letter/salary slips.
4. No separate document checklist is needed. You would not be able to submit the application until every field is completed as needed.
5. Discover Canada and there are some questions based on it given in some websites would be enough to practice (given in page 16 of this thread)
