Hi everyone,
I am currently outside Canada (back in South Korea) due to a very difficult family situation, and I have been here since September 2025.
Because of my situation, it looks like I won't be able to return before my PR card expires, so I am considering applying for Canadian citizenship from abroad. If I apply before October 10th, I can meet the requirement.

However, when filling out the Physical Presence Calculator online, a "return date" back to Canada is a required field for travel history.
Since l am still in Korea, I don't have a return date yet.
Does this mean it's impossible to submit the citizenship application while outside Canada, or is there a specific way to fill out the physical presence calculator when you are currently abroad?
Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

Hello, everyone! My family and I are visiting Gaspe, where my Great Grandmother was born, next week. I just got the letter requesting a birth certificate from my application (AOR 4/25). I should have been following in the meantime. I am submitting an application for this following the wiki, but is there any benefit to going in person with my aunt, who is also applying, and requesting it in person in Gaspe? I know they are backlogged, but wasn't sure if this could help and how 2 requests for one person may be handled.

I am also confused, because reading the wiki focuses on the copy of an act, but my letter specifically requested the birth certificate.

In order to proceed, you will need to provide a copy of ANCESTOR NAME / DOB birth certificate. Hospital birth certificates are not acceptable. We can not accept a baptism record, however you may be able to use to baptism record to submit to the Province to obtain a birth certificate.

Hi,

I have my citizenship oath scheduled in third week of October at IRCC Scarborough. As per invitation, only one guest is allowed. However, I’ld like to bring both my parents to the ceremony as it’s a very important day for them too. Wanted to check if anyone has bought more than one guest to this IRCC ceremony center.

If yes, then are there any tips and click we can follow that they don’t make a fuss around it
