Hi, just a quick update on the citizenship to passport initiative.

Timeline:
Oct 23 - Oath ceremony
Oct 24 - Citizenship certificate became available
Oct 30 - IRCC reached out to confirm information
Nov 10 - Received my passport

During this time, you don't have any access to status tracker, so you're basically left in the dark the whole time.
This will be my last post. Wishing everyone the very best and hope we will cross paths again somewhere.

Citizenship ceremony done via Zoom this morning. I emailed the oath form immediately at the end of the ceremony and have already been able to download the citizenship certificate via the portal approximately 2 hours later. All done. Good luck to everyone else.

Thanks, this worked perfectly for me! Only I had to go further back and change the date to Nov 10 (I tried on Nov 14).

Seems like they fixed it, could log in without any tomfoolery this time around.

Alas, still all in progress.

Yep, same here.

Earlier in the thread some of us were speculating that if we had connections or trips to the US, the shutdown there might have caused a bunch of delays....

Hi, thanks for replying. No, I never travelled to the US. I did give a police certificate but my background has been clear since May. From all the info online it seems LPP is v quick and seamless once BG is done .To add to the confusion, the agents invariably tell you that it hasn't started.

Yes, I am waiting too, prohibitions are in progress, since Oct 10

Thanks, this is good to know.

I suppose that there's a remote chance that you have a matching name + birth date to someone with a record in the US and they need the US authorities to confirm that you're a different person.

Mostly likely though, the delay is not US related in your case.

That's great. My LLP hasn't even started according to the agents, the tracker shows in progress since June.

Me too, submitted my application on April 21st. My background verification is complete and the latest was a ghost update on Sept 25th. But nothing else since then, it just shows "in progress".
