What is the matter with IRCC?? I'm extremely frustrated!:mad:

I submitted my citizenship application in November 2022, and it was unexpectedly canceled in June 2023, despite successfully passing the background check.

I decided to reapply on June 11th, and I received the Acknowledgement of Receipt (AOR) on July 12.

Today, I received an email from IRCC apologizing for the mishandling of my first application. They requested that I submit a new paper application and assured me it would be expedited.:oops:

In response, I informed them that I already have a new application submitted online, which also received the AOR. I kindly asked them to prioritize the processing of my online application.:)

However, their reply was a firm "NO!" They insisted on receiving a new paper application and promised to expedite its processing.:mad:

I firmly responded that I do not wish to submit a new application.:mad:

Since then, I haven't received any further communication.

Considering the current processing times, I believe my online application would be more advantageous compared to a new paper application, even if it were expedited.

You are not the only one that experienced this inconvenience. I submitted online my first application end of April they returned it on May, I resubmitted my application for the second time and they returned it on June for the same reason. Their reason is they cannot verify my status prior to PR. Did not received any communication with them that clarifies why they cannot verify my status in Canada prior of obtaining PR.

If you will apply for a new one via paper, consider the day and money you are going to spend sending your application and filling up forms. However, you are the applicant its your choice, they just kind enough to compensate the inconvenience you had experienced.

My application (2 adults 1 child) was returned for non submission of PR card of child but… it’s there. I see it in the print out etc of the application as well and I have screen shots of every submitted online page. .

question. I’ve resubmitted today do I now wait until approx 30 days for an AOR as though I’m a July applicant or are resubmissions on a different timeline?

They said missing pr card upload for minor but… it’s there lol.
Double and triple checked and it’s there. They have 60 days to resubmit so I resubmitted.

My Application was also returned with reason that identification document is required for minor applicant. I had submitted passport and PR card for my Son. They were like if you submit PR card as a ID proof then second ID must be Canadian. So I resubmitted application with PR carde and School ID card. and they accepted it.

If It may help
