    The only thing I can see over here on this page that IRCC asks people to inform them if they plan to leave more than 2 weeks. Now, is this only to manage oath invites or so (i dont know) - but it is indeed mentioned over here...

    I can confirm this. I submitted a webform about a month ago and received a response very quickly indicating that everything was in order and the application was still in process. My sense is that unless the webform brings in any material change to your file, the response is essentially the same...

    So let me take a wild guess. Even if you pass the 13 months and your application is still pending (hopefully not), they will tell you "we contacted IRCC but this is outside of their hands as its with a third party"

    Were you given the feedback immediately or did the MP at least try to contact IRCC? Realistically we passed our real average processing time (8 months when we applied).

    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...

    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...

    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...

    @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...

    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.
