November 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[minathaika]

More than 3 months of silence, still waiting for the LPP. Called for ATIP Notes last month. Still no update

What's your timeline like? and any out of the norm events for you? leaving the country after submission? did the IRCC agent mention anything about your background/security check?

did you apply as a group? do you know what are your offices?

Thanks for sharing this! It's very helpful.

I guess you are right - I was quite patient until the 2 month mark from the test update and then it started to get frustrating after that lol ><

Are there other groups that are discussing long LPP wait times for single/group applicants?

Group applicant here..no news since April 1st and waiting test invite for my wife since early February.

Just received the oath invite email today! It's for a virtual ceremony. I've already sent a request for an in-person ceremony instead. Let's see how long that takes LOL!

I originally had a virtual ceremony scheduled for June 16th. Had ghost updates on June 2nd and 19th on the tracker.

Tracker updated today and I'm rescheduled for July 15th!

Thanks for your reply!
Congratulations on your application and Citizenship!

What was the timeline like for you? Did you apply for any ATIP notes while waiting for LPP or did they call you for an interview before approving the LPP stage? If so, did you travel outside the country after you submitted your application?

Apologies in advance for the multiple Qs - I am just trying to get some movement on my file ><

Thank you.

No ATIP, the phone interview was less than five minutes. They verified address, IDs, travel history, asked if I recently had any run ins with the law.
I did not have any travel history during the eligibility period and have not traveled since. I'm about to apply for my passport though and I will make up for those years of discipline
Hope this helps

Hang in there, I went 3 months without an update as well then suddenly everything happened fast. I only had about 3 weeks from LPP to oath

Hey, I am applying from North York, ON.


Did you already complete your test? and do you know which office is your primary/secondary?
Any may I also know how long it took for you to receive your ATIP notes? Did you apply for the free version - i.e., Request for personal information from CBSA?

I just applied for the notes on June 24. Not sure how long they take to process it :/

Hi All,

I would like your expert support and input in troubleshooting my citizenship application. Details as follows:
Submission Type: Online
Original Submission Date: 8-Aug-2025
Resubmission Date (due to incorrect signature on minors' application): 14-Nov-2025
Location: North York, ON (M3C 3N4)
Applicants : 3 (myself + 2 minors )

Physical Presence days: 1,127 Days (PR status)
Primary Office: Vancouver
Secondary Office: Sydney (received AOR from here)
COD Testing Team 3

AOR - Feb 9, 2026
Background verification completed - Feb 9, 2026 (updated on tracker)
Test taken - April 11, 2026
Test updated as completed - April 14, 2026 (updated April 16, 2026 on tracker)
LPP - Pending..

It's been over 2 months since my citizenship test was completed and updated but no updates so far. Is the Vancouver office or Sydney office responsible for my LPP assessment? If so, how long do they typically take? And why didn't my application just get transferred to the Scarborough office? Wouldn't that be the closest to my actual residence?

Thanks!

Hi Everybody,

Another confusing update from IRCC LOL

So I logged into my minor twins' citizenship trackers (7 years old) today and it showed the lat updated date as June 27, 2026 (today) but nothing new logged under application history apart form Application filed on Feb 7, 2026.

I logged into mine (hoping for good news), but the last updated date on the tracker is still April 16, 2026 (i.e., the date of my citizenship test).

I'm not sure what to make of this. I've heard of cases where the adult applicant's tracker gets updated while no changes appear for minors in group applications, but this situation seems different. Has anyone experienced something similar or have any insight into what this might mean? Any help in making sense of this would be greatly appreciated.

That's a ghost update. Give it a few days maybe something will show up. Sometimes nothing shows though, it's according to the reason the GU happened. I got a GU on April 1, then nothing else till I got a call on May 26, three weeks after that call I was a Canadian citizen. Hopefully things will speed up for you soon.
