2025 JULY Citizenship applications

[fgbz84]

London Ontario applicant here. Citizenship oath ceremony scheduled for March 23rd per fracker update this morning. Waiting on email to know if virtual or in person. I signed up for virtual but am open to either

Email with type of ceremony, location and time usually arrives one or two weeks before the event. I'd be prepared for in-person, as they are getting more common, especially with London having an IRCC building.

Tracker update this morning:
Ceremony status changed from 'Not started' to 'In Progress'. Also got oath invite for March 17th.

Calgary applicant.

Congrats. I am still waiting.

I'm in the same boat, my GCMS says they need to interview me via MS Teams due to 'Discrepancy in absences'. Ordering GCMS won't speed up the process.
When will that interview be? No one knows.

In how many days did you get GCMS notes after you applied for it online

Hi folks, anybody here with “grant review ready PM03” in GCMS notes who got LPP cleared ? How long did it take from test completion date ? Specifically those having their applications processed in Vancouver office.

What's your timeline? I got Physical Presence updated today. My timeline is in my signature.

Do you receive email invitation for oath? Or did you notice status change first?

Anyone from winnipeg who got oath invitation in the last 2 weeks? Everything is completed since 8 January updated in tracker since 10 January. Just waiting on oath but no movement. Called IRCC today and they said primary office is Vancouver, Oath will come from winnipeg office as I am based out of winnipeg. They also said citizenship application regular processing time is 13 months so you still have 5 more months before it will be counted as delayed until then it can come anytime in between. I hope they don't take whole 5 months lol.

That's exactly what they told me today when I called. That I still had 5 months and to be patient. How am I supposed to be patient when there are people in August who have already finished the process? I have plans to travel out of the country to visit my family, but I can't even book anything because I don't know when they will schedule me for the ceremony! I am also waiting since January 8th, but I am in Alberta.

August? Many October applicants have already got their oath dates.
And then there are people that applied in April still waiting for LPP (completely in IRCCs control).
We need/deserve a better system.

Oh boy. I didnt even bother looking at September and October applicants, I don't think I can handle it. This process infuriates me. And it sucks that you have been waiting so long as well. We should all have our passports by now.
