    I keep reminding myself that citizenship grant is probably very low priority for IRCC. To be fair, at least for most applicants, whether you get citizenship or not probably won't impact your life much in Canada since you are already a PR. Even if you need to travel, you can always use your...

    Background verification was completed the same day I got invited for the citizenship test, on March 4th.

    I think a lot of January applicants still are. My last update was March 18 when citizenship test was marked as completed and I've been waiting for LPP to be done since.

    The instructions are on the “Read me” tab in the spreadsheet. You can submit your data by emailing your timeline to CACitizenship@gmail.com. You will be given editing access once your submission has been added so you can make updates to your timeline. This was what I did.
