November 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[teodinho]

I took the test on the 13th. I have seen someone else who took the test on the same day and they had it updated for them in less than a week.

I am curious if location plays a part here, and does it make sense to contact the email on the test invite letter. Also, how does one know what the secondary office is? When I received my AOR, I could see it was from the Sydney office, but the test invite does not have an office mentioned on it.

Application got updated today. Citizenship test is now marked as completed (but app history shows it as March 24th). LPP still in Progress and Ceremony is "Not started".
Whats the average time it takes from test being completed to LPP being completed, to ceremony being scheduled?

Thanks.

Congrats! My oath is in person at Scarborough and processing timeline was also fast so you might be right.

congrats, does an in-person oath mean you'll get a paper certificate at the ceremony and not an e-certificate even if that's what you requested in your application form?

I requested e-certificate but in the invite, they say they'll confirm your choice at the venue. Paper certificates will be given at the ceremony, but e-certificate instructions will be provided after the ceremony if you choose that. I'll probably just tell them paper at the ceremony because I don't want to wait for anything again lol

Congratulations to you guys. Hopefully things move quicker for the rest of us!

thanks! Whether in‑person or virtual, participants receive either a paper or e‑certificate. The format is chosen independently of the ceremony type.

Thanks! LPP and oath highly depends on location, so hang in there my friend - your turn is coming. All the best!
