AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

[Tratata]

I’m still traveling but decided to give a call to IRCC. Agent said I should be getting an interview scheduled soon. So hopefully some moves soon. No updates in the portal yet.

Also agent was a bit discouraging when communicating this update, she claims that interviews usually means that my application could become non routine and might take longer than expected timelines. Will see

Awww hopefully it's fast for you! Usually, after an interview, your file will move really fast!

Don't worry, usually a few days after interview LPP will be marked as complete and then you only need to wait for the oath date. I'm scheduled for an interview for late May. Will update you after.

Hi everyone, Looking for some advice on my citizenship application. My file moved quickly at first, but it’s now been over 2.5 months with no updates, and PPL is still In Progress. Applicants who tested much later have already reached Oath, so I’m getting a bit concerned.
Timeline

• Aug 05 – Application submitted
• Oct 08 – AOR
• Nov 14 – Background completed
• Dec 12 – Test invite
• Jan 02 – Test completed
• Jan 08 – Test marked as Completed
• Since then – No updates; PPL still In Progress

Applied from Toronto.
Has anyone else experienced a long pause after the test stage? Any guidance would help.

Update: I received an update today that an interview has been scheduled for me on June 9th. My LPP section is still showing as In Progress.

Is getting an interview at this stage normal, or is it something to be concerned about? Would appreciate hearing from others who have gone through this.

I am also scheduled for an interview in about 20 days. Yesterday, I received an instruction email, and it seems to be mainly a verification interview. I will need to take the original documents submitted with me. From what I’ve read about others’ experiences, there is nothing to worry about. I’ll update you after my interview.

You can call IRCC or order GCMS notes for more details (I did both ). Also my interview is in person.
