    January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    yes I am happy to say that I finally got my citizenship. I did the oath on the 30th of May and got my passport 2 days ago. I picked ecertificate. there was actually no selection so I emailed the oath centre as soon as I got the invitation to request an e-certificate. Best of luck to all of you...

    January 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

    For me it took like 6 months, and I emailed my MP several times (and I suggest you do that too!) to get them to look at it, but I think i was just really unlucky, and also it s the Ottawa office which is (in)famous for being slow. Kitchener should be better but it s hard to predict. Btw this has...

    well it took forever but FINALLY I have a date for the oath: May 30th, just got the update today in the tracker. End of the process for me, best of luck to everybody still waiting. Not sure if contacting my MP helped or not but if you are still waiting, try it too.

    ghost update for me March 2nd, but still nothing otherwise. I emailed my MP again now that I m way over the average processing time and surprisingly they asked follow up questions and said they l ll try and bring it up to IRCC so we ll see what comes from this....

    Background Check in progress due to delay in Criminality Section (Security Passed and Criminality in progress) and No Fingerprint requested.

    nothing unfortunately, still waiting on oath. I am not super happy about the situation but contacting IRCC (or my MP) yields no extra info, they basically just say to wait...

    my last update was november when all was (finally) marked as complete, i took the test back in April 2022. Still waiting on oath, my MP says there s nothing she can do and webform replies are generic. Frustrating process for sure

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    I applied through paper in jan 2021 and still not done, oath not started, so it s more the luck of which agent/centre you end up with than the medium it seems. Best of luck to you~

    Background Check in progress due to delay in Criminality Section (Security Passed and Criminality in progress) and No Fingerprint requested.

    Ghost update yesterday, nothing obviously changed but they put stars with "new update" on all my previous milestones (citizenship test invitation, citizenship test marked complete etc) so I assume it means someone just looked at it again?

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    Honestly I am very quickly reaching the point where having the oath just as my 24 months are up would be more of a problem than not because I absolutely have to travel at the end of February and I am worried if I don't get the oath by the end of December there won't be time to get a passport and...

    Test Completed But BACKGROUND CHECK in progress.

    Unfortunately the ghost update, dated either Oct 7th or 8th depending on people, is due to the new tracker they rolled out. AFAIK BG Check expire after a year, mine was completed May 2021 so it should be expired but it still shows completed and nothing else has changed saved for October 7th 2022...
