November - 2019 Citizenship Applications

Yes, you will need to translate all stamps and any other information that is not in English or French, regardless of their date.

Thank you. I asked my translater to give me two files. First one, between the date period; another one, all my passport.
I will submit all to the office : (

I got all of the stamps translated from the 2 passports that I’ve held during the last 5 years, some of the stamps were older than that, from around 8 years ago, but the immigration consultant I hired asked for all of the stamps to be included in the translation.

Thank you.

Another question regrading the stamps: do we have to translate only the stamps on the passports that reflect the time of arrival and departure at entry points of countries? I have a temporary work permit printed on my passport, for example, do I have to translate this, too?

 

[CaBeaver]

do we need to translate all stamps? or just between the period they give us..

Thank you.

I actually was misunderstood. I was commenting on your post that you need to translate all stamps, and I was surprised because I had no idea this is required, and the time they gave you is relatively short (usually they give 90 days to provide the requested documents, at least that's what I know). I haven't received the online test invitation yet. Actually I received nothing after the AOR

It ia not a 10 minutes job, you need to find a certified translater to translate.

I didn't realize that you have to translate the stamps.

You only provide stamps if they asked for it (Usually if they asked for all passport pages). And as a rule, anything that is not in English or French must be translated.

Just found interesting information on IRCC website:

Last updated: March 9, 2021
We’re still accepting new applications for citizenship.

We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between

March 10 and 16, 2019 ?

If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.

Wow. March 2019?! This means that most Nov 2020 applicants will be done in at least 7-12 months

They did not say that are working only on those applications. People have been getting test invites and interview invites every day.

Are there people still waiting for a decision made on their application after passing the test since January????

I passed the test on March 5th and I am still waiting for an update.

I called the IRCC call center yesterday and they said that they have verified my test result (that basically I didn’t cheat) so my test result is now officially a pass (19/20).

With that being said, the call center agent said they have to still do some internal assesments before I am ready to take the oath. When I asked what the internal assessment was, they said “checking English proficiency requirements are met and if I stayed in Canada long enough to be eligible for Citizenship”, which really surprised me. I thought they will make sure of those things before the test invite comes out - which took them over a year to do since my application was “in-process”. Nonetheless, I asked her if there is anything I can do to help speed up the process, perhaps by sending them proof that they will need, and she refused and said I just have to wait because this process is done internally. Apparently I will know they are done when I get an invite for the oath.

I will be sending my MP an email on Monday asking for an update because frankly, I am not convinced of what the call center says.

These checks regarding your stay happen during the interview, so you may get an interview invite.
