May 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[forw.jane]

I forgot to scan all the pages of my old passport (only scanned the bio pages) to include in the application. I recently got a new passport and did not receive my old passport back. I still haven't received any request from IRCC to scan the additional pages yet. Not sure how this will affect my application....

Online application only need bio pages. Paper application need all pages. Don't worry. In some cases IRCC ask for scan of all pages. If they need they will ask, you don't have to send it upfront.

Citizenship application: 16th May 2022 | AOR: 27th June 2022 | Test Scheduled : 6th Oct 2022 | Test Completed: 6th Oct 2022 | Passport Soft copy: 23rd Oct 2022 |All turned green except Oath: 16th Jan | ecas updated to decision made: 23rd Jan 2023

I think people don't return to provide update after oath.
When they are anxiously waiting for oath, they come here for advise and clarifications. Once they get oath, they disappear.

I solemnly pledge to return and update even after oath (whenever that happens lol).

This forum (and the accompanying sheets) has been an invaluable resource both in terms of information and emotional support!!!

Did you apply separately or as a family?

We applied Online so it didn't give us the option to apply as a family (I believe it's only for paper based applicants?). But we sent our application on the same day and got same AOR and Test Dates.

Did your partner have GU on Dec 16? It seems that everyone who has GU on Dec 16 is stuck there.

My Wife’s citizenship case status

Jan/27 but updated Jan/31st : physical presence and prohibitions as Complete

 

[Ese2014]

I just checked available dates for in-person oath ceremony again today. There is a slot open on the day of my ceremony.

How many slots are available per day? Is it only one ceremony per day or multiple ceremonies with different time slots per day?

Hello Everyone,
I need feedbacks from the successful applications please.
Was wondering, if anyone of you here who has passport stamps in UAE & Oman? did you translate the stamps of those countries? There's an English date on it and you would be able to distinguish from the stamps the country and date. I'm just not sure if I still need to translate them. Would really appreciate your insights.

Thank you in advance.
