October 11th 2017 - Citizenship Applicants under 3/5 rule

[babak3215]

Dear members,

Hello, I have lost my expired passport, but its expiration date was before my first arrival in Canada.
Actually, I entered Canada in June 2014 and became PR the same date, obviously I used my new passport (still valid) to get enter, my expired passport expiration date was for September 2013. Since my PR date, I did not leave Canada.

So this could be an issue on the citizenship test/interview day?

Thank you in advance.

Thank you very much for the info;
I chose the option that RCMP should directly send it to IRCC.
Question! once the document will reach to IRCC they will delete the line 4 on Ecas which is about finger prints or is there any other way to find out that RCMP has already sent documents to IRCC?

No idea. For me status is still IP even though i received PPQ/RQ/FP. there is no 4th line for me.
my fingerprint agency had no option to send directly to IRCC. so RCMP send FP certificate to me. i have to post all my docs together including PPQ/RQ and FP, etc..etc..

What does it says in you’re Ecas for fingerprint do the ask you directly please share?

Mine is still IP. there is no 4th line.

It may be FP. some people in other thread get FP after the test.

It doesn't matter "IF" your expired passport is outside of the date of your eligibility period (last 5 years BEFORE the day you applied for citizenship). They only care about those 5 years.

Sorry for my ingnorance what is RRQ ?

No worries.. I think RQ not RRQ..Its when they pick somebody in random and ask them to fill few forms and attach health history and employment history etc. It was mentioned in this thread previously.

That 4th line is saying that we have sent you a correspondence, but they did not mention what it is for, yesterday I have received the letter about finger prints to check from RCMP kind of a background check, the letter does not say anything about PPQ/RQ.

Tnx for your response.
My eligibility period is : from 10-2012 to 10-2017.
My previous (expired) passport validity: from 09-2008 to 09-2013.
First arrival & PR: June 2014.
I also sent a photocopy of its biographical page (together with photocopy of my current passport), because I usually keep an electronic copy of every document.
I really have no idea if this could be an issue or not, actually the expired passport has no business to do with my post-pr life time.

Finally got my AOR now but I used several methods I don't know which one finally worked. Calls definitely didn't work. Apart from what I shared earlier concerning my webform experience. I sent a registered letter to Sydney with an attachment of my application receipt with an articulate explanation of my frustration considering that my application reached them in since 27th October, from my tracking they got the letter on Monday. Family of 4 the mails came in 30 munutes apart though still waiting for my wife's mail.

So I wouldn't tell which method worked out. October applicants your documents are not missing, just keep hope alive. Goodluck.
