    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    There isn't anything specific for September, but they have a general 2021 forum here: https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/pr-card-new-renewal-processing-timeline-2021.724984/ You probably won't hear anything for 4-5 months anyway.

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    It doesn't necessarily take a month to get the certificate and passport. During the credentials check at the Oath ceremony you will be asked if you have to travel within the next three weeks. I told them I had to and they rushed my certificate. I received it two days later and applied for my...

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    I applied in early April for my PR card renewal because the citizenship process was taking so long. My citizenship was completed on August 24th and they mailed out my PR Card on the 25th. My PR card arrived yesterday while I was at the Passport Office applying for my passport. It's like the old...

    The actual ceremony isn't long at all. There is a lot of time taken up by checking credentials etc. The whole process took about two hours.

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    My journey is over now. I participated in the online oath ceremony this morning and am now a proud Canadian. I found this site to be invaluable and a great resource during the process. Thank you to all who administer this site and to those that helped by passing on some much-needed guidance.

    yes, you can. Citizenship will take over a year, PR renewal is taking about 5-6 months.

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    People that are waiting on a new PR card don't have any more of an urgency to travel than those renewing. That is why it doesn't make any sense.

    PR Card (New/Renewal) Processing Timeline 2021

    How is it possible that a renewal of a PR Card is now at 112 days and a new application is at 44 days? Surely a renewal should take less time as most of the person's information is already in the system. I applied at the beginning of April when the processing time was 62 days, I still haven't...

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    I don't think that they will want to run away from Canada that quickly. They are coming to Canada because they helped the Canadian Military during their time over there. Now that all Western forces have been pulled out of Afghanistan these helpers will be killed for helping our troops. How many...

    July 2020 - Citizenship application

    I have "Decision Made" on my ECAS page with a non-urgent application, but nothing has changed on my tracker for a month. It still says that my language test is in progress and my test hasn't been started - I am exempt both because of age. There doesn't seem to be any logic to the process. All...

    Not everyone has to get fingerprinted. I believe I did because there was no such thing as biometrics when I became a Landed Immigrant.

    August 2020 - Citizenship application

    I am a month ahead of your parent's timeline and am over 55 as well. My application was marked "Decision Made" on the ECAS site as of June 29th, but on my tracker, it is still showing Language Skills as "In Progress" and Test as "Not Started". Neither of which is applicable to my application...
