September 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[HAPPY999]

I don't think it will help. The web form returns me back to my application status tracker. Does anyone have any idea how to ask an agent? Thanks

I filed the web form to check the status today, see what caused the language skills and the test not being started since Dec 16, while these 2 options are not required when the applicant is over 55.

Mine is stuck in LPP, much slower than many of you here. Tried to access the tracker today but it shows an error that my UCI is wrong. Has anyone faced this issue? I obviously don’t attempt to use a wrong password

Sometimes the system is having a glitch, i would try again in 1-2 hours

Got my Invitation yesterday, Friday 13th. It's going to be virtual, was hoping for "in person" but you can't have it all LOL

What is the benefit of in-person test vs virtual? Can you please elaborate?

Mine is stuck in Language skills, while Physical presence and Prohibition were completed on Dec 16.

I remember you mentioned that your application is 55+. If that’s the case, for this type of application (for applicants aged 55+), the language skills usually remains “In Progress,” and the next step would be receiving the oath invitation. That’s exactly the situation with my parents’ application—they have now received their oath update and are waiting for the invitation email.

If you read Discover Canada well enough you will be good. The test is usually fairly easy and people complete it in few minutes. Make sure you read the question well.

Here are my details:
Application (Single, Toronto applicant): Sept 30, 2025
AOR (CPC-Sydney): Dec 24, 2025 ------------Christmas present
Background: Dec 31, 2025 -----New Year present
Test Update (In progress) : Jan 30, 2026
Test Invite (COD Test Team 3): Feb 06, 2026
Taken test: Feb 09, 2026
Test Complete: Feb 11, 2026 (updated in the tracker on Feb 13 2026)......Valentines Day present
LPP: In progress
Oath invitation: Not Started

My question: Going by current trend for LPP clearance and scheduling the Oath ceremony, what could be the expected duration for the scheduled Oath?

Here is the further update:

LPP: Feb 17, 2026 (Updated in tracker on Feb 19)......Family Day present

Oath invitation: Not Received yet

My question: Out of the following options, which is the fastest route to apply and receive the passport under urgent processing?

Option 1: Attend in-person oath ceremony, get the paper citizenship certificate same day and apply for the urgent processing of passport the next day- Is it doable? Has anyone done it for travel in 2-3 days after the oath?...I understand there are some gotchas, e.g., wait 2-3 days after receiving the citizenship certificate, etc.- I am willing to take the chance to receive the passport at the earliest.

Option 2: Attend virtual oath ceremony, receive the online citizenship certificate (going by current trend, it could be made available any time between same day to 5 business days) and apply for the urgent processing of passport the next day.
