November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[shiremag]

Can a family with KId apply online or it is still paper only?
Can anyone share the experience? After this cancelation, I like to apply online if it is possible.

Yes, you can apply online as a family including minor kids

We submitted the citizenship application on 7th Nove 2022 and AOR was in Den 28 and the Background check was completed on Feb 25th.
Today That is almost 8 months after the application they sent my wife an email and say she does not have enough physical presence in Canada and ALL the applications of my family are canceled!!
WTF

Really sorry to hear this.

Looks like so far this week is very slow with IRCC... I haven't seen many updates across the board for 2022 applicants

How do you know which office is processing your file?

How do you know which office is processing your file?

1. By looking at your test email ID
2. Calling IRCC
3. GCMS notes

Note: they may transfer your file at any stage to another office to distribute loads

Thanks for the quick reply. I checked my test invite email and the pdf they sent, but could not find the office name. My application is from Calgary, AB and the email only says it's from WestCitizenship Canada.
ALso, there is a number starting from CIT..... Is this the office name?
