March 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[yyzstudent]

Huh, didn't know that. Good to know!

As I said, try telling that to all Canadian citizens born abroad.

I stand corrected then. Thanks!

Yeah, I looked it up and couldn't find anything mentioned to the effect that the first passport cannot be issued abroad. Seems like as long as you have your citizenship certificate, you can apply for it anywhere. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...dian-passports/new-adult-passport-abroad.html

Seems to me like they have not started any work on your application. Surprising as your secondary office is Vancouver. Have you contacted IRCC?

I called IRCC today and got the generic response that the application is being processed. I also emailed the Sydney office to transfer my file to Vancouver office. I used the below email, hopefully its correct. I'll appreciate any advise on my next steps.

This is quite odd for Vancouver office. They usually process faster than most. I've been a few vancouver applications with Decision made already. For some reason they haven't even invited you to take a test. Try and go over your application again and see if you can spot any potential issues.

Per the GCMS notes, my primary office is CPC Sydney and secondary office is Vancouver. I don't know if that makes a difference.

Now what?? Have not heard anything back normally how long does it take for re-test?

my wife was so nervous, she was not going to give the test, as she did not feel prepared, kept cajoling, motivating her, finally she gave the test and just got passing marks, what a releif...

I know someone who had a similar thing but eventually got it after 1 or 2 days. I am sure you will be getting it by this week.

Did you get BG complete and Test invite? Asking as I'm in your location and have similar dates.

Well, that’s it guys. I’m done. All that is left of my PR card is a photo as they shred the ones we handed in yesterday. Certificate was handed out but I had to return mine due to a spelling mistake. They checked and will courier a new certificate next week.

Friends and I went partying and I got home very early in the morning.

Now I’m going to check out the coona app and start museum hopping.

it’s been one hell of a ride.
