July 2020 - Citizenship application

[rajkamalmohanram]

Seriously I think had heard somewhere that if the address on the both IDs provided at the time of citizenship application don't match it's another reason for RQ.

I submitted my Driver's license and foreign passport and both had different addresses. I did not have any issues.

These situations are not black and white.

This talks about some situations where delays might happen.

Hi guys, just wanted to share that even though it says that you must be present in Canada in order to take the test, you might be able to take it outside of Canada, case by case situations I guess. I just received an email to take the test and it says that if you are currently outside of Canada, please let us know so that we can accommodate you. As I’m currently outside of Canada and wouldn’t be able to make it back within the next 21 days, therefore I emailed them back stating that I’m outside of Canada, what are my options? Surprisingly, They replied back to me within an hour stating that I can take the test from my current location!!! Was shocked but super happy to receive such reply. Just wanted to share since maybe someone else is also currently outside of Canada and experiencing Delays returning back before the test due.
NOTE: I didn’t ask to rescheduled my test, I just simply asked what are my options since I’m outside of Canada. Also, if you are currently outside of Canada and unable to take the test in Canada, don’t just blindly take the test from wherever you are, better email CIC first to get their confirmation just to be on the safe side.

Wow great news! I guess the most important thing is to inform them first!

Called ircc today. The agent told me that the officer need for time to investigate on my application.If anything is needed I will be contacted. Very much upset n depressed.
I hold a RAIC pass which is required at a high security area at the airport. All RCMP checks were already carried out. Where I declared all address and employers for last 10 years. Not sure what IRCC is doing different.

Not a news you expected but if you are confident that there is nothing wrong in your application then don't stress too much. We all are in this together, like similar to pandemic situation!
