How to go from here and what now?I'm a 31 year old Canadian national. I came to Berlin in October 2019, began working in January 2020 and worked the same job in my field of expertise until December 2024 when my company went bankrupt. I've been ...
Moving to another country is not an option, no. - @Trabantlover Well, then you will have to wait until you fulfil the requirements for PR or citizenship. It's needed to achieve your important goal, so you shouldn't see it as "wasting time"! - ... Read More

@SimCityAT It was the same user. He even that time disputed that his company did something illegal, although (in his own words in a post of that time) the company is not going bankrupt, it is simply being shut down by the German government because ... Read More

@beppi Ah, yes, do remember now. ....... and what is the urgency to get German citizenship? - @SimCityATThat's personal and not something I'm willing to discuss here. Read More

According to your past posts, which I remember well, you are rather unlucky in the choice of your employers.Your first posts were about your job in a company that was shut down due to criminal activities in busting sanctions against Russia. You lost ... Read More

@Trabantlover Get a steady job first, and then after a few years, apply for citizenship. Your case file can't be looking good, and they do keep records of everything. - @SimCityAT I already applied for citizenship, I can't afford to waste more ... Read More

Citizenship application dilemma, where to go from here? by Trabantlover
Ok, this is going to be a long post but I need to get this off my chest.I'm 30 years old, I am a dual Canadian and Bosnian national so I have two non-EU passports. I was actually born in Germany in 1994 when my parents came here as war refugees but ...
@Trabantlover Companies think twice before inviting an applicant from abroad for an in-person interview, not least because of the additional effort and expense. If you are already in Germany, your chances to be invited are much higher. That is ... Read More

Sounds like the bottom line is getting another job. This would be required to get citizenship anyway but sucks that one is unexpectedly forced into the situation with a timeline hanging over their head. Only thing I can say is get out there and do ... Read More

This is altogether bad luck. I am sorry for you!Here are some things to think of:You see Germany as temporary stopover ("I also don’t want to stay in Germany forever"). Citizenship is simply not meant for such cases.You do not fulfill the ... Read More

Can Probezeit mess up my citizenship application? by Trabantlover
My company is shutting down so I will be out of a job in January 2025 and I was supposed to apply for citizenship in February 2025. I've been working non-stop and full-time in Germany since January 2020.I have always been told that if you get a new ...
I would ask the authority that processes your application. If you ever get an answer, please come back and post it here, for the benefitof future readers! But if I were you, I would not apply in such a situation (and give them a chance to reject the ... Read More

Well, it sounds a bit like a soap opera. Please come back and report how the next episode went! -@beppiMy next immediate step is finding out if the company is indeed shutting down operations and if they are, getting them to admit it to me because ... Read More

Everything matters but the main issue here is whether I can get PR or not, I had no involvement in any criminal activities and if someone tries to go after me I will defend myself. This is, however, not the topic at hand here. Read More

The situation described is so specialized and uncommon that it’s doubtful you’ll find anyone here with firsthand knowledge. From what I read you are merely speculating if you could be denied PR due to the situation. One can only answer; ... Read More
