[DECEMBER] Online Citizenship Applicants

[expatuae85]

Hi, Did you complete interview?

I only had FP done.

 

[expatuae85]

The only thing you can do is waiting. Why are you worrying about thing that you can not change?

I just cant help it same like what most people feel.

 

[expatuae85]

I agree, it is well within the 12-month processing time that was before Covid, just relax and enjoy the summer!

Its pretty normal to worry. Oh Im enjoying it, I've been living the life ever since. LOL

Called IRCC sometime ago. Certificate is printed and signed. Currently at Montreal office (my processing office). Depending on availability it will be mailed out; no approximate time given. The tracker still says 'in progress', so my guess is it will change to 'completed' when they will process the certificate for mailing out or mail it.

Tracker status is now - closed, with a congratulations message Let's see when the certificate arrives

Hello all, below is the email that I got today. Can anyone advise me on this? did anyone get this type of email.


In order to continue processing your application for Canadian citizenship, we require the following documents and/or information:



PASSPORT GAP



There is a gap in the validity period of the passport covering the (5) years immediately before the date of the application.



Please provide an explanation why the passport does not cover the entire period of time – 2015/12/18 through 2016/05/04, and whether you traveled outside Canada during that period. Please provide a scan of any travel documents you held during the relevant period.



Please send the requested information, and a copy of this email, to the address at the bottom of this email.



You must submit the documents and/or information requested within 60 days from the date of this email. It is important to be aware that the Citizenship Act contains provisions to treat your application as abandoned if you do not contact Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) with a reasonable explanation for not providing the information requested within the deadline established for any item(s) required.

· Translations by family members are not acceptable. Family member is defined as being a: parent, guardian, sibling, spouse, grandparent, child, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew and first cousin.

Well, I've not seen this format of the request before but I think the officer is simply trying to understand why there is a gap in the validity of the passport.

If you simply did not renew your passport because you didn't have any plans of travel, just mention that. This shouldn't be an issue.

Good luck!

Hi guys,

I called IRCC today and they said that there is no difference and priority for issuance AOR between online and paper applications.

lol, we know that this is not correct (what IRCC said, not the fact that you called )

Anyone who applied in January 2021 and still waiting for AOR ?. Looks like paper applicants are getting faster. I submitted webform last week and they said it is still under process and once application is reviewed by the officer then I will get AOR. is this normal ?
