September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[smilysmoke19]

Congrats! This is a good step forward. I have updated the spreadsheet. We might or might not get an interview (I personally think we won't) and we will proceed to "Decision Made" directly.

Please let me know once you've submitted these documents.

how your send scanned pages just reply to that email? And you combine all passport pages in 1 file or you make separate files for passports and then make combine that files?

I sent them 3 attachments in a single response (by replying to the email I received).

1. All pages of my passport in one PDF => Attachment 1
2. Certified translation of 2 stamps on my passport in one PDF (I had the certified translation done before in anticipation of this email) => Attachment 2
3. A custom document I prepared that makes the life of the officer easier by pointing out where the stamp is for each trip abroad is located on the passport. => Attachment 3

Remember, the attachments must be less than 5 MB in total. So, you'll have to compress PDF documents that are very large. Read the PDF document they've attached to the email, that contains all the instructions.

I received a request from Mississauga Office requesting all the pages of my passport at 11:09 AM. I have already submitted it (at 11:20 AM). Now waiting for "Decision Made".

Just noticed there is a discrepancy in my dates (one day) where my flight was after 12 AM (next day) but the exit stamp from the country was done the previous day (27th May). In my physical presence calculator, I had mentioned 28th May as the date of the trip and that doesn't agree with the stamp on the passport.

I actually counted one day more and this shouldn't affect my application because I have over 2 weeks of buffer.

The actual date of travel was 28th May but the stamp on the passport shows 27th May. Oh well.

Moral of the story : ALWAYS apply with some buffer.

Google "RCMP fingerprint agency near me" and you'll see a list of RCMP approved fingerprint agencies near you.

Also, did you receive the test invite email on July 7th or did you receive the notification on the status dashboard. Could you also provide your test window (start and end dates).

Haha may be you should!

You know, i was fed up in May and already requested to update address to Edmonton(to my friend's address). I dont know if i have messed up the speed. So possibly i am stuck for this year for DM, hopefully it doesnt delay more than this year. So no idea what it would turn out to be. Will see.

You are a Feb 2020 applicant and I would like to see you receive oath invitation before I do. Mid-Late 2019 applicants and some early 2020 applicants are amongst the unluckiest batch of citizenship applicants, unfortunately. Right when your applications were supposed to be completed or worked on, the pandemic struck and left you guys with all this stress .

Hope you see some quick processing on your application!

All the best!

Do they request the pages of your current valid passport only or all the passports that you used in the past 5 years? I got mine renewed a year ago and it is almost empty with only 2 stamps, while my older passport has like 20 stamps, but it is expired..

I am asking so that I can prepare my document as well in case they ask for it any time soon.

Thanks
