Hi, I went on a short trip (Around 2 days last week) to US for a personal visit. When i was returning back i was pulled into the secondary (my first time)/ I have a citizenship application in progress and i have over 1200 days since last 3 years as far as residency obligation goes. The officer asked me if i had filed a complaint for loss / damage of PR card reviewing GCMS notes probably., post which i did mention that its not the case. Then she had asked me if i had filed for citizenship recently, i said yes i did. Then she said i am good to go. I did ask her if there would be any impact on my citizenship application as i had received an AOR last month, officer mentioned it wont be. Still worried if this can cause any potential delays. Any thoughts from anyone who has experienced something similar

Must admit, had a hard time uploading my photo id, took atleast 8-10 attempts to get a clear picture. I am still not sure if it was fully clear lol. Fingers crossed.

It should not be. I literally submitted my citizenship application at the airport before my flight and then left Canada for a month. Upon returning Canada, none asked me anything and no secondary inspection. I guess it was just a coincidence for you.

I was worried about my ID and camera as well. As long as the picture of your ID is not blurry and name and id number is clear readable, it should be all dandy.

The online questions you mean the app is it enough?
I used:
https://www.yourlibrary.ca/citizenship/
https://www.torontopubliclibrary.ca/new-to-canada/citizenship.jsp
https://www.apnatoronto.com/canadian-citizenship-test-practice/
https://www.citizenshipcanadian.com/canadian-citizenship-practice-test/


I read the book twice and took few notes, then did all these questions multiple times and everytime I had something wrong, I would screenshot and revise on the day of the exam.

Hey dude, I saw that you asked this question couple of times. Chill :) It's really an easy one. Just start reading Discover Canada and do some practice tests. You will be done in 2-3 days. Nothing biggie.
Dude , the only thing worries me dates/numbers they are confusing at most I'm even about to forget my birthday because of them lol

Hi all, hoping that January paper applicants can start getting their updates soon! Nothing since the GU on March 2nd... The current IP to Test avg is 42 days, so hoping to see some progress in a couple of weeks.
