I did the fingerprint in June 2020, and IRCC told me now that it expired and I need to do fingerprint again. I am wondering how they waited till my fingerprint expired. And what the assurance what happened in 2020 will not happen again? I did the test in June 2021 and passed.

Had my citizenship interview this morning! Passed! Hoping to see DM soon! She said it was a 4-5 month wait to be invited but the oath would likely be in person in Vancouver.

March 8 2020: Application signed and sent.
Sep 4, 2020: AOR
Jan 26 2021: Background check passed.
Jul 23 2021: Citz test invite (Window: Jul 30-Aug 20)
Aug 18 2021: Citz test passed (19/20)
Oct 12 2021: Request for copy of passport pages
Oct 18 2021: Passport pages scan sent.
Oct 20 2021: Request for exit/entry records to USA
Oct 20 2021: Exit/entry records sent. Realized I'd made a mistake on my presence calculator (one US departure was not recorded on the entry/exit history), emailed them and explained that I'd been in Canada 5 extra days that I hadn't included.
Nov 12 2021: Interview passed!

They weren't worried about the 5 days I had messed up on the presence calculator. They were mostly interested in why I am in the USA right now (Canadian citizen spouse has a temp work visa for the US), but explained we are planning to return in the next year when her visa expires.

So relieved!!

Hi guys,

The ceremony requires two pieces of ID. I'm planning to use my PR card (expired) as one. I want to use my health card as the other, but it's expired as well. Would an expired health card be a problem? Haven't had a chance to renew it and will soon.

Could I possibly present my passport in case of expired issues?

Thanks a lot!

Not sure about the expired Health Card. They have mentioned that expired PR card is valid but nothing such is mentioned for DL or health card.

Thanks. In that case could I present a passport?
I have my driving license from abroad too.

HI all. I applied for outland spousal sponsorship in march 2020. My wife has since arrived to canada as a visitor and we are living together with my wife on visitor visa. I have yet get my sponsor approval, I received nothing from immigration. When contacted MP, immigration apparently told him I need to withdraw my outland sponsorship and apply inland, if not nothing will change. When I contacte immigration they are saying my waiting time is normal. I am so confused, I get different information. Its frustrating. Can some one help me please? Do I have to withdraw my outland application and apply for inland? What do I do? I feel like our lives are on hold.
