2026 January - Citizenship Applicants

[db9]

Hi. Are you waiting for LPP since May too?

Yep, test marked completed on May 28. No progress since then.

My god, the LPP finished on July 10, and still no updates on oath ceremony. Any guys here with similar timeline? Hope we all get it soon

 

[db9]

Just heard back from my MP's office that they followed up with IRCC and that my application is in Vancouver office and requires additional verification, hence considered non-routine - published timelines no longer apply.

Knowledge test, security, and criminality - passed.
Physical presence, language, and prohibitions - not yet started.

How long did it take for your MP to get back to you. Requires additional information is a bit vague, but maybe you will have to do an interview or something.

Anyone here over 55, that does not need to do the language and citizenship test and LPP still not started?

I reached out on a Monday and the office had regular meetings with IRCC on Fridays, I was told this information right after their meeting this week.

While the additional information is somewhat vague, it at least gives me a sense of what to expect, even if the lack of a fixed timeline is discouraging. Based on the update, it seems likely that an interview will be required, potentially triggered by my extensive travel outside Canada for work and personal reasons over the past four years.

Sounds like you know why it's been delayed then and I suppose that's a bit of comfort. I am giving it two weeks and then reaching out to my MP as well. I don't know if they have regular meetings as I'm in rural Newfoundland, but she did help me with my PR card, as the delay was affecting my health card. My health card expires with my PR card in may next year, so it's sort of the same circumstances. Hope you hear something soon anyway.

Were you close to 1095 days when you applied or you had some cushion?

Not broken. Once you get the email with details , it should switch to in progress after a day or 2.

Just a side note, I did my oath on August 13 but still showing in progress
