June 2020 - Citizenship Application

[EUK]

diploma, certificate or transcripts from a secondary or post-secondary education program in Canada or abroad, where the language of study was English or French. As long as it's readable you should be fine.

Quick question, on the diploma it doesn't say if the teaching mode was English but the dimploma is in English and it says the university name that's is English speaking country. Would it be sufficient?

Another question (getting paranoid here):
I can't seem to remember if I wrote my name on the photos I sent or if it only had the date and studio the photo was taken... would the application be returned if my name was not on the photos?

Although that's a requirement but that is also dependent on the officer reviewing your application.

I think so, If the diploma is in English or french already it doesn't need to say the major language of the study was English or french. You can't have a diploma written in French or English if the major language of study was not English or French I believe. I myself sent an engineering degree ( in french ) plus transcript in french too. I came from a french speaking country and know a friend who sent his diploma in french without anything else, he is Canadian now.

Some members( single applicant) reported here, they did not write their name but they received an AOR.

Hi All,

As i have received federal offer after submitting the Citizenship application. I sent CSE to expedite urgent processing. However, Call center Agent told to submit another application to request urgent processing. Is it an issue to submit second application? Any advise is helpful. thanks in advance.

Dammit, I also realized that the studio only stamped 1 out of the 2 photos... should I call CIC or wait for some communication?

One of my friends did same and when he called IRCC< they advised to send another application as there is high risk of getting application sent back without getting accepted.

I think i have to re-apply because I am almost certain that only ONE of my ttwos were stamped I had asked the clerk at Staples for "passport photis" and only now do I realize that the specifications for citizenship are different in that both photos need to be stamped.
That being said, can I apply with the same application date? I initially signed on June 6th. Or is it better to sign in August?
Thanks everyone!

What you should do is that you should make a new application with new dates in your presence calculator and application form with new pictures and attach an LOE to explain the issue in your previously submitted application and request to consider this new application and dis-regard old submission.

Is there a reason to use new dates? I feel like they will disregard my initial application anyway since the photoes are not to specs

It will give you more days in your physical presence calculator plus you need to avoid your application being stale-dated when it's submitted.

My only concern is that I would have to tamper with the application now, which might result in more errors (eg adjusting addresses and etc)

Even for me only one photo was stamped and I asked the photographer at Shopper’s drug mart to stamp both. She said no only photo to be stamped for citizenship as well.

Just to update those who may have a similar issue:
I called IRCC and they told me that whether my unstamped photo will be accepted or not will be at the discretion of the agent processing it. That being said, they recommended to mail in another application (dated August as @rafzy suggested) with new photos and an LOE. So that will be what I'm going to do today.

Many thanks for your support!!
