Hello,
Last year I sent two citizenship applications - for me and for my son. Now I have received a Residence Questionnaire.
And I have 2 questions:
Does it mean that my son's application will continue irrespective of mine?
If I withdraw my application, will it affect to my son's application too?
Thank you,
|

Hello,
Thanks for sharing your question with us.
Unfortunately, if your son is a minor he cannot apply for citizenship on his own.
According to the Citizenship Applicaton Form Instruction guide,
"Minor children must:
•be under 18 years of age at the time of the application;
•be a permanent resident of Canada;
•have at least one parent (includes adoptive parent) who is a Canadian citizen or who will become a citizen at the same time as the child (applying together as a family)."
So if this is the case, if you withdraw your application and no other parent is becoming a citizen at the same time, then it will affect your son's application.
You may want to contact the CIC Call Centre directly for some additional information.
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.

Thanks for your reply. My son is not minor, he is over 18. We have submitted the application together, as suggested in the application guide ( but we have filled 2 appliation forms).
Would be very thankful if you explain what happens in this case. If I withdraw my application, will his application remain in force?
