November 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[Walle_007]

Hey everyone!
Here’s my timeline n update :

Type: Online application
Location: Toronto
Physical Presence Days: 1104
Application: Family (parent + child)
Application sent: Nov 3, 2024
AOR: Nov 15, 2024
BG: Jan 11, 2025
Test window: Jan 24 - Feb 22, 2025
Test taken: Feb 11, 2025 (passed 18/20)
Test updated on tracker: Feb 14, 2025
LPP: Feb 26, 2024
Oath Ceremony: Scheduled for Mar 20, 2025

Still waiting for the oath email and had a few questions:

1. When can I expect the oath email invite? And is that the only way to find out if it’s virtual or in-person?

2. I’ll be traveling for the oath, but my 5-year-old won’t be coming with me. That should be fine, right? Anything I should keep in mind since he’s not accompanying me? I assume I’ll still be able to download his e-certificate and apply for his passport?

3. I used to be able to access my kid’s tracker, but after LPP, I can’t log in anymore—same thing now that my oath is scheduled. Last time I checked (Feb 25, before LPP), his tracker had no updates, just “application filed.” Is this normal?

4. I’m truly grateful for this milestone and want to complete everything properly. I’ve seen people getting their e-certificates in 1-3 days recently —what’s a realistic timeline to receive it and apply for the passport before I need to travel for other commitments?

5. Any other tips or advice?

Would really appreciate your insights. Thanks in advance!

Thanks. I’ll keep everyone updated too. And I hear you about the game of patience but they picked the worst time to test my patience. I’m usually a patient person but I have to travel for work as early as next month so my folks at work will not be pleased with the uncertainty IRCC are causing me.

Sorry to hear that hopefully everything will be fine

I am also not enthused by the fact people keep getting oath scheduled but then not getting instructions until like 5-10 days before the ceremony.

I am out of the country and I will choose a very different city (Vancouver) for virtual vs in-person (Calgary will be required). Not knowing in-person vs virtual means I can't buy a flight until the last minute.

Oh well, I guess it'll be a nice problem to have. For now, I'm at LPP/BG/Test complete. Waiting on final decision/oath letter...

Wait your LPP was done as well? When did they do that? Sorry I can’t seem to access your profile to check your timeline. It doesn’t let me.

Nice congrats! So after confirming your criminality from your fingerprints it was only a matter of like 5 days before they did your LPP! That’s good news.

Hello members, I was able to access the citizenship tracker until last week. I can't access it when I enter my credentials for the past couple days.
Please confirm if this only me having this issue or is this universal? Thanks in advance.

I gave my FPs on 10th feb through UPS and no changes after that. Should I be informing IRCC or call RCMP to know status because the Fp request was dated 6TH Feb .And its 30 days today

did your BG turn to completed? My FP was mailed out by RCMP to IRCC Vancouver on Feb 21st. No update yet.

@DocumentJourney @mesmerizer85 If I receive any updates. I will keep you both posted, Trust me this is the game of patience. Which honestly, I do not have it at this moment. Hope for the best

ive Seen a few other people with issues but my tracker works fine. Try resetting your password? I think that is what some other members tried as a remedy and it may have worked for a few of them.

I know.. driving me up the wall too. People who applied 3 weeks after me have their oath in two weeks. Utterly bizzare.

It seems like FPR slows us way down, however my wife's (AOR 11 days after mine) had her BG complete without a FPR, long ago, and has had no movement since. My LPP completed before hers (yesterday but dated March 3).
