October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

Who did you "apply" GCMS notes from? IRCC or CBSA?

I would advise requesting from CBSA if you only requested via IRCC.

Got @WifeOfUSProgrammer IRCC GCMS requested on March 24, 2025. The CBSA clearance stuff is blanked out as usual. Nothing interesting and it matches the tracker. LPP not started. Test/background complete.

I requested CBSA GCMS notes for her a few days ago, so we'll see if anything has changed, but at least through 3/24, they did nothing else.

But I think the online registration period may be over (do check).

That doesn't mean you can't vote on Monday though: look up the nearest polling place to your residence (ideally - you can go to a different one if you must), and go there with ID, your citizenship certificate, and something with your address (eg utility bill if your ID doesn't show your current address).* They will register you on the spot and you can vote right away. It may take a bit of extra time of course (but most will be line-ups).

It won't hurt to tell them you just became a citizen and you're voting first time. They love that.

*More than one id and more than one thing with your current address may be advisable, but take what you can. I believe they even have a process for those without proof of address but not certain what it is for federal elections (in my location's provincial elections, it involves a couple extra forms and swearing a verbal oath).

And check the elections canada website above - I think they have all this covered. I'm writing by memory and things may have changed a bit.
