January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[James Lyrie-Stewart]

Hi guys, anybody got email from IRCC for citizenship to passport pilot program invitation?

I wonder if anybody opted for it and when can we submit interest, before even oath ceremony or we need to wait for ceremony?

I think they invite only few applicants.

I don't think you can “opt in.” You are either invited or you are not. For those invited, they get the email before the ceremony.

Correct, if you get email then you have to optIn if interested. I got an email, so wondering if anybody received invite and optedIn

There were a few cases I recall posts about here, at least a couple of months ago.

They were very positive, saved time and hassle. It's a pilot though so I do not know how fast processing is compared to eg urgent application. If you don't have travel planned for say 4-8 weeks after doing your oath, shouldn't be any significant risk.

Just got our virtual ceremony date update on the tracker.

August 8. Which is exactly one month after the in-person one we had to request a change for.
