Frequently asked questions
Common rejection & delay reasons

Common reasons Canadian citizenship applications are returned or refused.

  • Short on the 1,095-day count. Mis-counting trips or including visitor-only days is the top reason files are refused.
  • Over-counting pre-PR days. Pre-PR days count only 0.5 each, capped at 365.
  • Incomplete travel history. IRCC cross-checks entry/exit records; gaps trigger requests or refusal.
  • Tax filing not done. Not filing taxes for required years when obligated breaks a condition.
  • Language proof missing. Applicants 18–54 must show CLB/NCLC 4+.
