March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

As per read above comments on Finger Print request,
We have 3 months and 5 days after Test. No updates
When came to Canada as a PR no fingerprint requirement at that time.
So, do we expect Fingerprint request from IRCC ? Anyone has same?
Will do GCMS today.

Just letting you know that I collected my Passport today from the Post Office. Applied for it on 1st Sep, and got it today 26 Sep. That's 3 and a half business weeks. Felt like forever. Better than the 11th Oct date that the agent projected though.

My Brother-in-law applied for his Passport on the 18th via expedited route, and got it today. So that's always an option.

This will most likely be my last post, unless someone has any question. This has been an amazing group. I wish all of you the best in your continued journey and future endeavors.

did you forget to update your signature or you really haven't heard a thing since application delivered?

Do we need to have:
1. COPR during or before or after the oath?
2. Record of Landing during or before or after the oath?
3. Can we take the oath without any holy book?
4. Can we sign the oath form electronically? If so what should I do?

1. COPR during or before or after the oath?
During or before, no. Unless they specifically ask for it in the invite (I wasn't asked).
After, yes. I've heard it will help you when you reach the age of retirement.

2. Record of Landing during or before or after the oath?
No.

3. Can we take the oath without any holy book?
Yes, holy book is optional.

4. Can we sign the oath form electronically? If so what should I do?
Yes. Instructions to sign will be included in the oath invite. You will have to take a photo of your signature and insert it in the oath form.

Had another call with IRCC today. I gave my test on the 19th of May and it turned to complete same day. Background was completed May 9th and have nothing happen after that. The agent said that the application is routine and there are no flags on it and to just wait. So pretty much the same response that I've gotten over the past month now. Also requested ATIP last week to see if the file has just been sitting around or do they actually need anything. Office processing is Scarborough, other details in signature.
