Hi there, if someone from the group share a template or letter explain how to send repond to ircc through Web form. I got email email from IRCC regarding my one month passport gap. During the gap was actually passport renewal. But I don't know how nicely i should expalin. If someone from the group share a text/narrate about the passport gap expalanation for the web form that would be really great.

“Passport was being renewed from XXXX DATE to XXXX DATE. Received new passport on XXX DATE.”

How hard is this? IRCC are very familiar with overseas passport applications taking long.

Right, I did the same and it was accepted! Just tell them that you had to renew it

I sent my explanation regarding the passport gap issue for my citizenship application via web form last week. But I still do not get any updates in the citizenship track account. How long does it usually take to update?

I don't even think they update it on the tracker, I had sent my passport gap explanation long ago and later emailed the biological pages but until now I see 'waiting on you, submit additional info' on the tracker. I sent them a webform to acknowledge the receipt of the biological pages and they replied back saying nothing was needed from my side.

Dont worry about it, I am at the exact same situation. Sent the Webform to explain passport gap 2 months ago, never got the status updated in online tracker. I have now got everything completed in tracker and received Oath invite, and on the top of my tracker , it still says " Waiting for additional info!"

So dont worry about it at all! It will stick with you until the very end.

No they dont, I Remember that you answered my exact same question before.. I have the answer now. Got everything completed in my tracker, and received Oath invite, still the stupid "additional doc required" is there..!!!! so it is totally fine
