January 2024 Citizenship application

[MMSR]

Thanks! So it’s going to be a paper certificate? Even if I selected e-certificate?

Yes they do Paper certificate for In Person Ceremony

Yes they do Paper certificate for In Person Ceremony

Argh, they should mention during the application that the 2 options are mutually exclusive
If I opt for the in-person ceremony, I shouldn't be able to select the e-certificate option. And the same the other way around.
Thanks anyway for the clarification!

Did you get the ceremony email yet?

Not yet. Just the ceremony date appeared in my account today, and the ceremony status switched to “in progress”.

I got a ghost update today. My ceremony is already scheduled on the tracker and I did not get the email. What that update could be? Everything is completed, oath is scheduled already.

Hello Guys,

Please advice me with the following:

Online application.

1. Its asking me to upload the digital photo. I am just uploading the photo which the photo studio has given me. I am also filling the name of the business and address(photographer).
Do I have to upload the back of the photo?

2. "Do you have a travel document?" . In this section, it's asking me to upload only the biographical pages of my passport. So, I am uploading the first and last page of my passport. Is it okay or do I have to upload all pages that have stamps?

Please let me know.
Also let me know if there is a group for 2024 citizenship application.

Thank you.

I called IRCC to ensure nothing is pending from my side and that's when they mentioned the office

 

[mstefan]

Update: I received the ceremony emails today. They came from Edmonton IRCC.
Does it mean our files have been transferred from Niagara to Edmonton sometime after doing our citizenship tests?
The only disappointment for us is that it's online after all. We were hoping for an in-person ceremony.
But, not going to complain, at least we're almost done.
