This process from Student to Citizenship is the most stressful thing I have ever done in my life lol. No update to my citizenship app from April 11th. Don't need to do language or test due to being over 55. Thought it would be quicker for some reason. Can't wait for all this to be over and I can fully relax in the country I've called home since 2015.

I agree with you that the Canadian immigration process is stressful. I was lucky when my profile reached 45x in 2019, so that I could get an OINP nomination and ITA to apply for Canadian PR. The pandemic dramatically increased my application processing time, and it took me 30 months to get my CoPR and move here permanently. After more than 3 years, the journey is at near end as I am patiently waiting for my LLP and Oath Ceremony to come. Ironically, it looks like my time here in Canada is also ticking down, as my Green Card application has become current after nearly 9 years! LOL

We have the similar timeline but LLP still in progress for me. Any idea?

What's the normal Timeline after the Test passed and updated in the tracker?

Finally!! the update is here: Oath Ceremony scheduled on 30th Jun 2026 (in tracker), Now waiting for the GOLDEN EMAIL !!

Tip: I checked the tracker around 12.10 AM, 3.30 AM EST and had no updates. But around 6.30 AM EST had this below update today. Based on 2-3 recent updates, I could say that the citizenship tracker gets updated mostly around 5-6 AM EST. This might help many

So happy for you! I know you were stressed with the wait but may have been better since everything came in at the same time! My LPP has been complete for weeks and no oath movement whatsoever. Going to be next soon! Congrats again!

Yeah , very true! I have travel plans in Aug and I dont want to get stuck with this citizenship approved and travel with another country's passport. You will get it very soon.

Hi All,

I see an update on the tracker today.
Citizenship test updated on May 21 and language, prohibitions and others updated on June 16. I dont see anything about citizenship ceremony or an email about it. How long does it take to get that updated?
