Hi guys, I have a strange situation.
I have applied for PR a few months ago and still it is being processed. Now, I have cleared the YKI test, which means that I am eligible for the citizenship. So, what would happen if I applied for the passport, simultaneously?
Has anyone been in this situation? I will surely lose the fees I paid for PR but would it affect processing of the passport application?

Re: Applying for citizenship while PR is being proessed
Having simultaneous PR and citizenship applications is common. It’s often a required step:approw1903 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 10, 2024 12:26 amI deeply apologise for my typing error.

This is not a problem. You can apply for the citizenship as well.
