January 2020 - citizenship application

[Salar123]

I received my gcms notes last week most of it was blanked as per section 15,16 and 19.

But It said in my knowledge test section that due date is Feb 28, 2021. I know its the target date set when my application was forwarded to Calgary office but I am not sure if they are meeting their targets in this situation.

Those dates are just dates. Its not a deadline for cic workers as they have 699 code to use. it was not a deadline even before pandemic(as we saw that a lot of applicants did not even give the test within 12 months) hence its all up to the officer if he/she wants to process the file or not.

I have heard that CIC calls to the citizenship applicants before sending them emails for test invite, is it true ?

There have been one or two non-urgent February 2020 applicants getting invites as per forum posts!

Oh wow, that sounds encouraging! Thanks!

GCMS notes can be requested from IRCC or CBSA or both. But it's almost as good as coin toss whether you will receive your GCMS file in 30 days or if it's going to take far longer

This is based off stats from IRCC see
https://www.canada.ca/content/dam/ircc/documents/pdf/english/corporate/publications-manuals/atip-2019-2020-en.pdf

CBSA on other hand has a better track; review this detailed comparison for requesting Gcms Notes from IRCC vs CBSA https://bit.ly/34nuJPu that others are

Also, during the pandemic IRCC and CBSA both will accept an electronically signed consent form

Can one file and send citizenship application from abroad/outside Canada after completing required physical presence in Canada? Is there any bar in law/rules ?

My application is returned because I missed one page at CIT-0002 (Page No.5) and so I printed it and attached it to the same application without updating the signature at the last page . Have you done like that?

I resubmitted the application 27 Nov.
Thanks to God.. I received The AOR Today 22 Feb.,2021. Good Luck every one

Re-submitted 27 Nov.
AOR : 22 Feb.,2021

Apply for PR renewal. What if you need to travel urgently? PRTD is also slow from what I last read.

Your PR Card may expire but your PR status will not. PR status can only be removed through an official process.

You should renew your PR card if you plan to travel outside Canada sometime in the next year or so (just in case you don't get your citizenship by then)
