June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[usamatk]

I have a curiosity:
For passport do we have to apply by ourself separately or it's a part of citizenship process?
If we have to do it separately then do we have to prepare our documents/ application all ready well in advance?

It’s a separate application. You need the citizenship certificate before you can apply. You will need:

1. passport application form
2. Photos
3. IDs like DL/ health card or foreign paszport
4. Signature of guarantor on form and back of one photo (has to be Canadian citizen with a passport)
5. Contact information of two references

Mine is the same status, AOR July 2, Background completed July 12 and test completed on Aug 16 and no updates after that. How do I see where the APPLICATION ASSIGNMENT is for me? Wondering if mine is even assigned to an office.

Same timeline here. Haven’t heard anything since August 28 - Test Completed.

Apply at a Canada Passport Office not just service Canada Center which forwards to one of the passport offices. When you search for locations for passport application, the one that say passport office are the ones which are faster. 10 business days for passport office vs 20 business days turnaround for regular service centers

No invitation so far..

Did you got any update on oath ceremony?

Yeah, I think it's because the local office does not have your file yet. Sydney will not do LPP and only your local office will. It's a waiting game at this point and it's a lottery depending on where you live and which office you were assigned to. The process is unfair to some applicants.

I got FP request on Sep 17, BG marked completed on Oct 30 and the letter said that my file remains at my local office (Van office in my case) for processing.
I hope they still have my file here in Vancouver.

Hi
My wife recently took the citizenship test and failed (14/20). Can she take the 2nd attempt immediately the same day itself Or should wait for sometime?

Technically she can give her second attempt right after the first failed attempt, there are no limitations as such. However, I would suggest to take some time to revise the test materials like Discover Canada, give some practice tests and feel more confident before you attempt it again.
