Hello,

Thank you for sharing your situation and question with us.

We have contacted some Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada Call Centre Representatives.

They mentioned that it is not likely a problem if you have met the residency requirements.

However, it is important that you be aware of any correspondence that you may be receiving regarding test and oath dates.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your questions with us.

We have had one of our legal researchers look into this information and based on this we have updated our Settlement.Org How do I apply for Canadian Citizenship? article.

Here is an excerpt of our updated information,

Mail your application to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. If you are applying from outside Canada or the United States, submit your application to your closest Canadian embassy, high commission or consulate.

You can find this information on the Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) website in the For applicants living outside Canada and the United States section.


I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
