On September 7, 2023, the Government of Canada announced new updates for citizenship applications, simplifying the instructions for waivers on compassionate grounds.

Waiver requests for language, knowledge, or oath requirements will now be available for clients at the time of application.

The Case Management Branch (CMB) will now make all knowledge, language, and oath waiver determinations, and clients will no longer require a waiver hearing.

In addition, the Centralized Network (CN) will forward files with waiver requests directly to the CMB instead of the Domestic Network (DN).
