December 2022 - Citizenship Applicants

[elagoli]

I'm a December applicant and I already have my oath date coming up on 8th May, Vancouver office. I'm only worried about the upcoming CRA, IRCC strike which will definitely affect our application.

@oboyzee what’s your timeline? Can you please share?

Interesting. Must be nice to have a friend on the inside! You made your application from outside of Canada and did your test from abroad as well?

I think the longer the travel history the more work CSIS has to comb through the countries for your prohibitions check, even where a police check was not required. This is just my theory. Prohibitions seems a little opaque to me.

Or...maybe it's a physical presence thing - because of the various trips abroad, IRCC has to wait up on CBSA to confirm departure and arrival times to calculate days present in Canada.

I did my citizenship test from outside as well. Scarborough office takes a long time to send the LPP update, that's what I was told. Hoping for you to receive your Citizenship Oath sooner as well. Cheers!

Fingers crossed! @vipinait - please note that my BG check has been completed. Hopefully it is the same for you?

Thanks but I'm still waiting for my BG check to be completed. It might take a few more days.

For all your strike-related questions. There may not be a strike at all, and if there is one the federal government will "quickly legislate [the union] back to work":

Public employees may begin a strike as early as mid-April, which could affect application processing at Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).
