Urgent Processing - Citizenship Application (Lets meet here )

[ybjianada]

So for the first category of urgent processing: apply for a job.

I saw a job advert for a position with the Canadian government that requires Canadian citizenship. I would rather not mention here which department it is, except to say that citizenship status is not negotiable. So if I apply for this government job, will it suffice to attach a copy of 1) the job advert (which clearly states that it is only open to citizens), and 2) proof that I applied for it, in order to justify urgent processing request for my citizenship application?

Some of the replies here suggest that we would need to produce proof that the job applicant has already proceed to the recruitment stage where he is deemed otherwise qualified for the job except for citizenship status. I have a couple of questions for this assumption.

First, the CIC website does not really say that. It merely mentions "needing Canadian citizenship to apply for a job".

Second, it would not be practical in situations where citizenship status is used to screen the applicants in the very first round. So this would create a catch-22 situation.

I grant however, that perhaps CIC will expect something more than just the fact that you applied for a job that requires Canadian citizenship because that would probably lead to people abusing this provision. But how about my second point?

Thanks!!

1. Applying for a job wouldn't be sufficient. If you were offered a job, then maybe.
2. Your application would probably be screened out as the criteria states "Canadian citizenship"

congrats do you see on the new tool that your application is now urgent?

Nope. There is nothing that indicates that our application was processed urgently other than the timeline. Calls to IRCC did not confirm it either. I strongly suspect that it was but either way, we are thankful for the swift actions of the immigration officers who worked on our case.

I just checked my application online and it says:
You've been scheduled to take citizenship test online between June 11, 2021 and July 1, 2021. Information and instructions will be sent to you.
I had requested urgent processing and I called CIC yesterday, they told me they still see the request on my file and the agent said it has been probably accepted since my application is moving so fast.
By the way, I still have not received an email for the test. I checked my application yesterday and the test invite wasn't there. So it must have been updated today.
Since they have given me a 3 week window to take the test, can I deduct my request for urgent processing is rejected?
My application was received on October 7th 2020.

Hi Guys
For people who have requested urgent treatment for job reasons, what documents have you included with your application as proof?

Thanks

The official job offer (actual contract) with contact names of officials who issued it for confirmation; along with highlighted reasons why citizenship was absolutely necessary.

Any clue the requirements for urgent processing? On the CIC website it just mentions for benefits, job or travel for death or illness. However, I have an issue with my bank, they are asking for proof of residency in Canada. I lost PR few years ago and I knew I was planning to become citizen so I never renewed PR. So now my bank wants a valid PR or Canadian citizenship. Do you think that would be considered for urgent processing? I have already passed citizenship test. Just waiting for next steps.
