    January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    All (the passport copy request and language completion) happened on June 25 and updated on tracker on June 27 at the same time. Just note that one part of prohibition is physical presence so don't expect for its completion until they figure out physical presence. For me everything else is...

    Welcome to "the stuck at LPP" club! Same thing here. LPP stuck since March 29 and even an officer has not been assigned to my application. This is beyond ridiculous!

    ATIP requests won't have any impact on processing. Webforms however sometimes cause movement. Sometimes!

    Do you mean that IRCC redacts more information than CBSA? I haven’t reviewed CBSA notes recently but as far as I know both are subject to the same provisions under the Privacy Act or Access to Information Act. That said I’ve found the redaction process to be highly subjective. Some agents redact...

    My follow-up message to the Vancouver office triggered a ghost update on May 22, but the LPP stage remains pending. The broader issue appears to be a persistent lack of accountability at the Vancouver office, as they consistently fail to respond, whether to applicants or even MPs. It is not the...

    Advice on calling IRCC getting more information

    Even the IRCC agents don't have any idea if a case is routine or non-routine. I argued once with one IRCC customer service agent who believed that all cases that get fingerprint requests are non-routine. I asked for any provision of law or any legal source and she had no idea. She admitted at...

    If your office is Vancouver, nothing works with them. I have been waiting for LPP since March 28 and have tried calling, sending a message to Vancouver office and webforms. No response or progress at all from Vancouver. It is a waste of time.

    Be happy at least you have LPP completed! After that one way or another you will get oath.

    January and December as far as statistics show. LPP for many takes longer for no obvious reason. Mine has not been updated since March 29 when BG completed. I received a ghost update on May 22 but nothing changed. LPP is still in progress.

    I hope you are legally literate because I am. You are correct that "right" is a legal concept, and that is precisely what applies here. Section 5(1) of the Citizenship Act states that the Minister shall grant citizenship to any person who meets the prescribed criteria. In law, "shall" imposes a...

    once those admissibility and eligibility requirements are met, the government does not have the discretion to deny citizenship without lawful justification. That is the key distinction between a right and a privilege. A privilege can be granted or withheld at someone's discretion, but a...

    Mmmm... becoming a Canadian citizen after obtaining permanent residency is a legal right for those who meet the established criteria not a privilege. This right is protected by Canadian law (Citizenship Act) and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which ensure equal status for all citizens...

    Requesting ATIP GCMS notes does not affect the processing of your application. The request is handled separately by the Ottawa office, which is responsible for extracting and redacting GCMS files. Due to the high volume of requests due to the huge number of visa refusals, the Ottawa office is...

    10-months does not apply to us. Upon submission of application (Jan 2025), what we had was 7-months. That applies to Jan 2025 applicants. Btw, today I got a ghost update. I hope I get my LPP done soon.

    Similar here. No LPP yet. So it seems we will be among those who have to complete the whole 7 months. (For Jan applicants processing time was 7 months.) I don't think the current 10-months processing time applies to us Jan applicants.

    No, only criminal offenses like dangerous driving or impaired driving are considered an issue. Traffic violations are considered under administrative/regulatory law which are not an issue.
