    May 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Some members reported that ceremony officials will tell you that you can use your citizenship certificate a couple of business days after you receive it, for the purpose of applying to a passport. You may still try to do so on the same day but dont be surprised if passport office tells you that...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Monthly IRCC statistics have just been released. The number of outstanding applications increased from 290.7K to 297K. For March applicants, the number of files ahead of us dropped from 78.8K to 72K—a reduction of 6.8K cases, or roughly 9% of the previously outstanding applications before ours...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    While there’s no defined timeline for background check completion, the pattern seems to fall into two extremes: either it’s done within about 3 months if you are lucky, or it gets prolonged for 24–36 months. There rarely seems to be a middle ground. That said, someone mentioned yesterday that...

    Can you remind me if you were asked for fp?

    @wertymin24 oh wow! There is at least 5 people on this thread who are in that situation! Same here. We confirmed that they have the results and that the file is in Vancouver. Again, not sure if there is a way for us to get our files to move as they might just pending because of an...

    Are you in Montreal by any chance. It seems there is a bunch us from March who got the fp request in June and didnt hear back. What @Hwallikniw mentioned about our files being forgotten might actually make sense. Not sure if there is anything we can do collectively

    Folks. I just came across this page and something caught my attention https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/adult-minor/after.html It says that we should contact IRCC if we plan to leave canada for than 2 weeks in a row! I didn’t know that such...

    Its either all of us in this batch went into comprehensive screening or, like you said, someone completely forgot about it. This was the june 11 fp request.

    What you’re saying makes perfect sense but try having that conversation with IRCC and let us know what they tell you :). I had a very similar discussion with an agent not long time ago, and the agent insisted that the posted average processing time applies to all applications, both new and...

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    Similar boat here. The 68k ahead of you is indicative and not necessarily they have to be completed before your turn comes. There are actually people who applied after us in July that got their oath scheduled already. Call IRCC now and they would tell you are still within processing time or call...

    Can reconfirm it happened. Not that I was too happy we got this quick reply as I would have rather have someone take time and have a real dig at our file and maybe (as a big bonus) trigger some movement (wink wink). That didn’t happen.

    March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

    We raised a webform a couple of weeks ago asking IRCC whether the original police clearance certificates that we provided and the updated ones we mailed later on were received and satisfied the additional docs request we had on aor. Took ircc exactly 14 mins to reply to the webform indicating...

    No updates in my Citizenship application

    Would security clearance be the case in your opinion as his/her background seems to be completed??

    No updates in my Citizenship application

    Have you asked for gcms notes? Maybe it’ll give you a hint on what’s the issue. What documents you used for language skills?

    Is it ok to leave Canada after citizenship application but before AOR?

    There is normally a ghost update a few days later after fp submission which likely marks receipt of fp by ircc fro rcmp

    Is it ok to leave Canada after citizenship application but before AOR?

    My wife gave her fingerprints back in June and her background check isn’t completed yet.

    Is it ok to leave Canada after citizenship application but before AOR?

    For your second question, it can happen a few days to a few weeks after AOR. In our case, the request was sent 6 weeks after AOR. Nowadays, AOR takes about 2 months. For your first question, while I don’t have a specific answer, the test invitation is almost always online. An attempt that is...

    August 2025 citizenship application, got fingerprinting request but no AOR yet anyone in same situation?

    The fingerprint request letter has your applicaiton number on the top right which you can use along with your UCI to create your tracker. You probably have an AOR but you either missed it or a bug prevented it from reaching you.
