July 2024 - Citizenship Application

[forw.jane]

Not applied with parent.

We don't have many data points on minors applying alone. Since they are exempt from the test, the rigor of their verification process is still unclear to me. You may have to call IRCC and check the progress.

There are also two different procedures, kids applying on basis of their own residency, or applying on basis of being a PR and a citizen-parent.

But in either case (from my limited experience with the latter scenario), not enough data and no reason to believe substantially different from citizenship grants for adults. (Probably fewer 'long-tail' ones that drag out for much longer due to security clearance hold-ups)

E certificate received today.

Now I will apply to passport. I wonder do they contact with guarantor?

For normal cases mostly they don't but for express and urgent delivery they do.

It’s been 3 weeks since my prohibition was completed. I haven’t received any updates from IRCC and the call center seems not to have any reasonable answer when I called. Does anyone else have similar experience? It is nerve wrenching waiting for update.

INVITATION TO AN INTERVIEW WITH A CITIZENSHIP OFFICIAL AND VERIFICATION OF IDENTITY/DOCUMENTS
Please appear on:
2025-02-18 (yyyy/mm/dd) at 8:15 AM EST
Location: Scarborough Citizenship & Immigration Canada 325 Milner Ave, 2nd Floor Scarborough ON M1B 5N1

I got this email today. Will the oath be on the same day as document verification or a different day? Anyone had this kind of interview before?

Tracker has been updated dated for an interview with IRCC official scheduled on Nov 2.

We’ve scheduled you for an interview with our official on November 20, 2024.
Follow the instructions that will be sent to you for information on:

• how to attend the interview
• what documents you have to present

I am yet to receive email on the instructions for what they are looking for. Any insights on what questions might be asked in interview ?

Hey! I have the same thing scheduled for 18-Feb-2025. Do you know what they asked? How long was the interview? Did they give you an option to have oath on the same day?

They usually verify your ID documents and passport and ask basic questions regarding your application and travel history. If they have any specific concern, they will get your clarifications on the same.

Mostly they do not schedule you for oath on the same day. If the officer is satisfied with what he is looking for, he will complete the application and send it to the oath scheduling team and you should see an update in the tracker in 2 business days

This is perfectly normal. This means your application is approved and they are scheduling you for a virtual oath ceremony. You would see the details updated in the tracker in a day or two.
Congratulations!!!

@hssrp, I have another question for you. I received the same email for my child. Will a separate account be created for him? His application is under mine.
