June 2025 Citizenship Applications Time Line

[chetan8785]

Usually Language, Physical Presence and Prohibitions completed at the same time for most of the applicants. But for some Physical presence and Prohibitions will remain. I do not understand why language too did not complete so far. If it is Physical Presence and Prohibitions, I think it might be useful If we send webform with I 94 travel history, Passport scanned copies with entry exit stamps helps and anything you feel like clarifying such as maintained status.

So I uploaded again all the documents related to entry and Exits. So Lets see what happens.

When did you add all the records for Physical Presence? If you sent them already, then there is no need to send it again. if you need to send something new to add to your application, you can use https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/contact-ircc/web-form.html

Looks like my wife didn't uploaded all her entry - exit records but she was never requested any documents nor invited to appear for interview. As I was requested for interview with all records to confirm as I have a lot of travel outside of Canada. But I uploaded the documents just in case if this is what is holding them to confirm all the entries and complete all the steps.

Hi everyone,


I submitted my application for Canadian citizenship on March 7th and received my AOR on March 27th. Since then, I haven’t received any updates—no test invitation, nothing at all.

Is this normal? Do you think I should just wait, or is there something else I can do? I’d really appreciate your suggestions and advice.

Thanks!

I suggest you create a tracker account online to track your progress, also call them if necessary. Highly unusual that there is no progress since March, most people that submitted around time have completed oath a long time ago.

Questions in interview was in regard to cross border travel as I work in US.
Wife called IRCC and they said the same thing which shows online. Nothing new.
What are GCMS notes and how do I request that?

Hey, are you a daily cross border worker or only go to the US a few times every week/month? Did you keep a buffer above 1095 days while applying?

Hi - for the citizenship test, I have read the book discover Canada. Is there any recommendations for taking mock tests? I have tried the ones in "Citizenship" app. Any other recs? A lot of them are paid and I wanted to know which one is the most common/recommended.

Thanks!

There are a bunch questions through the Richmond public library website, I’d recommend going through all of them to prepare for the test. That’s all I did for prep and I got 20/20. I am pretty well-versed in Canadian politics to begin with so that helped but I do think the library question database is comprehensive enough for most people.

Thank you. Do I have to pick only my province to practice or each province?
