March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[walalm]

So something is going on with my wife's tracker. There has been no update since june 9th 2025 as she was waiting for LPP ever since which hasn't started.

I see that it says todays date on last updated. It used to show june 9th 2025. There's no change in the application history.

2-3 weeks ago i added additional docs to show her language proficiency. Could that be the update?

Definitely they moved something internally, hope your wife's app is finally completed. Fingers crossed

Attended my oath ceremony last week and applied for passport yesterday. Just wanted to hop in here one last time to say thanks to all who have been so helpful for the last year and a half, I know it's been a long journey. I'm hoping that everyone still waiting get some positive news very soon!

okay physical presence is done today. This is just crazy! I wonder if updating the language triggered something in the system.

I see many people with "we need more time" applications have been asked to provide fingerprints... I am not sure if I should be worried, but I was never asked for fingerprints, and here I am stuck with prohibitions and background!

okay got hte GCMS notes today. Lot of new updates on the GCMS notes. Most importantly prohibitions is in progress. It says in the notes: "Decision Ready - prohibitions assessment pending". "Clearance pending - the client will be placed in a ceremony once it is passed."

Seems like a new officer was assigned to this file. Best of luck to everyone who is still waiting for several months!

A long journey indeed......
For the folks still waiting, be patient the time will come. Stressing over it won't change anything at all except for your health. It happens when it happens.
I understand everybody has plans and I personally do. I need to travel in mid November.

Fun part: I stopped worrying about it and waited until the last moments to apply for my passport from my county of birth and received it yesterday(A week over standard processing time). I spent almost $600+ to get that including all the documentation and fees because it(old passport) apparently had a stain(browning of paper, probably moisture related after 12 years) on a single page not obscuring any information at all and they charged me damaged fee. Now, I can't use that because dual citizenship is not allowed and I would surrender it after I get my Canadian passport.
Luckily I held back my PR Card application. Expiring in mid December, right in the middle of my trip.

Life is fun if you try to see it from a third person perspective (you watching yourself doing silly stuff acting, reacting, worrying, happy, sad and all other moments). It gets real interesting.

Anyway, people, relax and enjoy your day. Life happens regardless of what you make of it.

Attended my citizenship ceremony today and finally a Canadian
