October 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[PepsiFanta]

Any idea why this final step is taking longer than even other steps that supposed to take longer

Assumption: Because there thousands of applications waiting on this very stage. You are just one of VERY many.

Yes but this is the same thing for other steps as well, and those steps requires investigation, etc. The got completed pretty fast.

The final step requires a judge and there's a limited number of them compared to regular IRCC workers

Is there somebody else who is still waiting for update of background verification?

Most of people here already got it even before taking citizenship test, but I didn't get it yet.

On 18th December, 2023, there was an update of the citizenship test. Nothing has been changed yet since then. So, I'm just waiting.

I really have no idea about reasons for that. Please let me know why. It is quite a lot frustrated.

The only thing I have marked as 'Complete' is the Citizenship Test. Everything else is 'In Progress', apart from the Oath which is 'Not Started'.

My gut feeling is that we'll get the Oath date at the same time as everything else is marked to 'Complete'.

I can't imagine they get people to do the Citizenship Test before checking background information.

Hi Guys, anyone here whose application is being processed from Scarborough. Whats the latest timeline from them. My test was passed in first week of December. How much time they are taking for the next step passing i..e LPP ? Any idea...

SCR office is now working on August applicants' LPPs!! Almost two to three months behind the other offices.

Guys, do you know if you can travel out of the country during your citizenship application process?
Like if I want to go on a short vacation now, my LPP hasn’t been processed, I assume it will take them another 1-2 months do finalize…

You can, just need to be in Canada for oath.

The tricky part starts when you email them asking for reschedule. You need a solid reason for it.
