AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

Do you see a due date in that section? Is Vancouver your primary office?

Yes, Vancouver is my primary office. The Application assignment section is black with no due date. In the notes section, I found ICES Requested, which might be causing the delay.

We should try to feed our GCMS notes, with personal info deleted, to AI and have it interpret / forecast for us based on research on social media and recent trends

Feb 25, 2026 Citizenship oath status has been updated to In progress.
This line is actually updated on Feb 27.
March 24, 2026 Scheduled ceremony

My takeaway after painfully checking others' timelines for 1+months.
The queue they have for oath schedule isn't purely based on LPP time. I saw July applicants LPP later than me but they got their oath status last week.
And this week I think they move multiple Vancouver applicants one step forward. (with earlier and later LPP times).
So I guess is a 2-column sort, first your application time(or AOR time), second your LPP time.

I tried it, but I don't think there is enough public data available to make a forecast.

Interview can happen for many reasons, not just to confirm your days. Sometimes, it's to check your language skills, etc.

I've seen that people were asked about their work, travel history, etc. They said the questions were fairly simple/ basic.

Don't stress too much!

Thank you.

Hi, Any update on passport?

Yup. Got it on 25 Feb.

So this is it, folks. I went and picked up my passport on 25 February, and with that, my immigration journey is over. I was away from the forum for the last few days. I've been dabbling in some new hobbies (making videos, editing etc.).

Wishing you all the best of luck!!!

Somehow this goodbye feels bittersweet. But good luck with everything!
