2025 JULY Citizenship applications

[Ganbaro]

The interview was pretty straightforward. She told me my she is granting my citizenship and I should expect the oath ceremony in the next 3-4 months. Today my tracker updated – language and prohibitions marked complete. The wait for oath begins

Congrats buddy! I'm glad that didn't take too long for you. Now you get to join the rest of us in line for our Oath. Hahaha.

Can I ask what the interview was really about? Passport checks? I was just curious as I am also stuck on LP in process so expecting a similar processing. Please only share if you comfortable. No pressure

Just a normal conversation. She asked my name, dob, to show my PR card, Driver's license, if any prohibition declaration or address has changed. That's all.

LPP Completed today, had PM03 status as per GCMS notes... now waiting for oath invite

Hi everyone,

I applied for citizenship on August 1st week 2025 and received AOR on October 1st week 2025. Since then I have not received a test invite yet.

I ordered GCMS notes and saw that my file was referred to PS-RES (Program Support – Residence review) on December 10, 2025 for additional review of physical presence. My background check is completed, but language and physical presence are still in progress and test is not started.

It has been about 4 months since AOR and around 2+ months since PS-RES referral, and I am starting to get worried because I see many applicants with later AOR dates already receiving test invites.

Did anyone else have PS-RES referral and later receive a test invite?
How long did it take after PS-RES review?

Any similar timelines would be really helpful. Thank you.
