January 2017-Citizenship applicants

[legalcitizen]

Hi All,

My wife and I are due to apply by the end of June. However, we have sent in a request in March to have my wife's PR card renewed, which is yet to be renewed by CIC. I am concerned it may not arrive by the time we are due to apply.

Would it be nice/appropriate to go ahead and apply for my citizenship only, pending when my wife receive her renewed PR Card?

Advice, thoughts, comments are all welcomed.

Thanks

Joe

you dont need valid PR to apply for citizenship..if you meet the criteria you can apply for citizenship..
Dont wait for PR just apply for citizenship

Hey Joe,
You dont need a valid PR card. You can submit a copy of the older one if you still havent received the new one.
Other than that, should you have your physical attendance met, and other required documents ready, i suggest you keep the ball rolling and apply.

Best of luck! Cheers!!

Do you think CIC try to invite most decision made applicants for Oath on July 1?

Check below ceremony finder, there are many to be held across country. Vancouver alone has 3 not ordinary CIC office locations for ceremony.

Dunno, usually those special ceremonies don't accomodate a lot of people, they're usually small in size.
(Not sure if things have changed for that or cic holding big ceremonies for July 1).

GTA offices are very slow.

So true! I submitted in Jan and I haven't even got the test invitation yet.

Quick question...

I am currently studying here in Canada for my second degree. If I am able to obtain a copy of my home country university transcript, used during my admission into my school here in Canada, would that be sufficient as proof of language? Or do I need to obtained an official one from my home country university all over again for this purpose?

thanks
Joe
