March 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[EUK]

Based on the speed they are going now, and also hoping (speculating) that there could be less number of applications in April, May , June due to pandemic, you should get some information back with in 3 months. I am being optimistic by looking at the CIC speed in issuing the AOR's recently. Good luck!

Fair assumption!

Your previous comments show that your application was received on Mar-6?

Yes, that’s right((

Hi all pls when an application is returned for incomplete documents what happens to the police report? Would a new one be needed? My application may be returned due to problem with my English language document. But I wonder do I need to get a new police report seeing that the police report I submitted with the application in march would have expired.

Police certificate has to be issued after you have left that country and if you have not entered that country again after you submit your application, I don't think that you will need to get police certificate again.

As long as you don't leave Canada after the PCC is issued, then you don't need new one as the old one is still valid.

Its not about leaving Canada. Its about not entering that country(for which the pcc was issued). Rafzy's note is correct.

you are right. I forgot to add the crucial part of not entering the country that issued the pcc. By the way, do they still need a PCC, if they enter the country only for few days (instead of 180+ days?)

I think that its ok if its resubmitted within 6 months of pcc issued like how we submitted pcc during PR application(while living in the same country).

What's the address listed on the letter? Have they mentioned any reference number in the letter?

I think it’s the same address of their processing center ( the regular mail address)
No, they did not mention any ref number.What would it mean if they did?
I’ll try using my UCI , in order to see whether my application does exist in their system though.

Thanks. I very much was worried about that. I have not left canada since the police report was issued so I guess I will be fine

Can you share which documents were incomplete in your application that it got returned?

 

[Anjushka]

That's shocking to see that IRCC is handling applications so carelessly. Did you include your copy of IELTS General exam as proof of your language cause some members have gotten rejection for not including it.

Btw... Did they highlight any other sections of your application as incomplete or was it just language proof missing ?

No other incomplete sections. The only reason was missing proof of language.

Hi guys,
I received back my application earlier today.
I was and still am sure I had included all required documents and was shocked to read the reason why my aplication was incomplete. Missing language evidence!!!
I am an OCELT ( Ontario Certified English Language Teacher) and the document I included as proof of language was my current TESL ( Teaching English as a Second Language) membership card. I used to be an English teacher in my country and have every other document to prove my English language skills.
I am so angry and frustrated because of wasting so much time. I don’t know the reason why they did not consider my TESL membership card, and I feel it is so unfair! I wanted to contact an immigration officer to explain my situation, but had no contact number.
I sent my application right away with a letter of clarification and other additional language evidence documents. Does anyone know whether they will consider it a new application? Will I have to waste some more months till I get an answer back??Could I contact them in any way??
Congrats to all who have recently received or will receive AORs soon. No matter what we should be happy that things are moving forward.

That's very unfortunate.
I think IRCC might process your application fast in later stages to compensate the time which caused due to their mistake.

That's sad ... You should resend your application back ASAP and maybe you don't have to wait for that long again for AOR.

Are we updating in the sheet the return applications, so far I can see 3 applications are returned

 

[Kanedaa]

I guess CIC has started processing March applicants, as we see few applications returned (which is a concern). Hopefully some AORs this week?
