VIR CHAMP

So I had same issue. You have to create brand new account. Same email address worked, just use different password

Yes, that was the issue. They advised me to creat a new account using correct jurisdiction

So far I am at Renouncing. This video on youtube is very helpful. pro tip: (why my application was rejected initially) - Make sure the embassy on the application/gov. form is New York and not Toronto.

I asked for urgent delivery of my certificate so I received it when I was in Canada. I applied for passport from US and received it in US within a month. I had some hurdles (form filling issue) with renouncing my Indian citizenship but it’s renounced now and got the surrendered passport back from CGI

Hello, How was your experience with in and out to Canada? was there any concern at the border while entering US using new Canadian passport and green card?

How do you inform USCIS?

So I had the same questions and I reached out to VFS (New York). They confirmed, as long as I have a valid status in US, I can apply for it from US. You have to provide some sort of residency proof under your name (driver’s license/hydro bill/internet bill etc.) I have sent my application early this week, hoping to have more info. next week.

Did you also ask them specifically about Citizenship certificate to be send in USA? Did they confirm it?

Thanks for clarifying.

Make sense. Well my home country has restrictions on the travel after gaining other country citizenship. I have grace period of 30 days, after that I have to pay penalty each time I cross the border. (may be at the time of surrender)

I must be overthinking, but I applied with Paper Application and not Online. The link talks about Online application. Would that make difference on shipping certificate to US?

That is what I am planning to. No rush, not going out of USA anytime soon after oath.

I found this https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1560&top=5 Agree that it would be much much faster if get it shipped in Canada but I don’t have Nexus. So not sure if I would be able to go to Canada using GC without Citizenship Certificate. Yes, I am going to Canadian side of Niagara falls to complete the oath ceremony.

Did you stay in Canada until the certificate arrived or have it delivered at close family/friend address?

I am in the same boat. Living in USA on Green card status since May 2021. I have my Canadian Citizenship oath coming up next week. I have updated IRCC about my address in USA and Green Card status. My oath is online so I was wondering to drive to Niagara falls,ON, complete the ceremony and come back to USA. 1. Would I be able to receive my Citizenship Certificate on USA address and using that apply for a Passport? @Kai G. Llewellyn why did you recommend having Canadian Citizenship Certificate to be delivered in Canada? 2. Do we have to inform USCIS? If yes, do we do at the border or we wait for certificate? If yes, would that change anything with out Green card or any issue at the time of US citizenship application?
