It is not past 5 years. It is 5 years of PR card issued or every 5 years. I stayed in Canada for 3.5 years of first 5 years and then left. So my absence of 3.5 years is actually 1.5 years from first 5 years and 2 years of next 5 years. I still had 3 years from these 5 years to meet residency obligations.
It's the past 5 years. The 5 year period is considered on a rolling basis

Good morning,

I wanted to share an update that I saw this morning, December 1st.
my application now shows language, prohibitions, and physical presence as “completed”. The date for that is November 29th, but it didn’t show that for me until just this morning. I check daily.

Now, I have all parts of my application as “completed” except for citizenship ceremony. It is “not started” status.
Please let me know how long have some of you waited for oath ceremony email invite after your prohibitions, lang, and physical presence were “completed”.

Thank you.

Here’s my timeline:
  • Online Application completed/submitted: December 16, 2021
    - AOR: Feb 22, 2022
  • Background completed: August 31, 2022
  • Citizenship test status has been updated to In progress: September 2, 2022
  • Scheduled for citizenship test: September 9, 2022 (they gave me a window of time to complete test, Sept 9-Sept 29)
  • Citizenship test status has been updated to Completed: September 28, 2022 (I took test on September 27, 2022)
  • Language skills, physical presence, prohibitions updated to completed: November 29, 2022, however update posted on December 1, 2022
  • Citizenship ceremony: not started

I was able to speak with an IRCC agent
@Canadianthisyear: thank you for your reply! Overall then, it took about 20 days. Sounds good! I’ll wait patiently.
It has been more than 20 days for me but I haven't received any communications from the Scarborough office, and the tracker still shows "Not Started". I only knew I am scheduled after speaking with an IRCC agent on the phone.

I was finally able to get in touch with an IRCC agent, the trick was to go through the various options as quickly as possible on the call.

The update he had for me was same as in my tracker :( that my LPP is in progress and the citizenship agent is working on my file and it's within normal processing time so all I can do is wait.

@deweyng: thank you for your input. Please let us know the date you were able to speak with an IRCC agent. I tried several days this week and an automatic reply stated that there’s a high volume of calls and to call back later.
I don’t have to call right now, but was curious if you were able to speak with an actual person this week.
Thank you.
