2026 January - Citizenship Applicants

[phoenix_ash]

Hi all. I received request for fingerprints for minor. Anyone can please guide me how to submit the fingerprints- is the webform enough or do we have to mail it by canada post as well?

I did order ATIP through IRCC sometime around end of June, haven't heard back. Applied through CBSA last week again. I heard that IRCC either takes a lot of time or doesn't respond at all.

Regarding the number of trips, all I will say at this time is it's in the low 30s.

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

Oh so checking the email seems to be a better idea then? I have been checking tracker almost everyday, and haven't had any update seen July 10, the last day when the LPP was completed.
Thanks

Yes, can confirm the tracker is down! still no updates!

Another month went by - NO progress sadly! on new exam invite. V Happy that others are seeing some progress.

Tried calling this morning. Not even a callback option. Just said they had a too may calls and cannot assign any more agents. Try again later....bla bla bla. Same old

As I couldn't get through to them on the phone, I have sent a webform, asking for an update, as the tracker has not been updated in 5 months. I also did mention that I've seen people that applied in February and even March get their oath.

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.

So sorry to hear this. Happy the MP was actually useful in getting you information, but tough results. Wishing you all the best this finds a resolution soon.

It went radio silent after submitting additional documents on August 13th 2026. I have to disctract myself with mundane things and keep telling myself that this will be over "soon". Such a pain in my neck to deal with IRCC all of the time.

I just got off the phone with an IRCC agent. It's a huge relief to learn that my wife and I both passed Physical Presence check on August 21st 2026 (no update on tracker though). So all LPP has passed so far. She told me that we only had to wait for Oath Ceremony Invitation and she had no idea when it would happen! LOL! Thank you for at least letting me know some good news!!

I can't wait for the end of this winding journey and move on for next chapter of my life!!

I sent a webform, as I could never get through. Didn't even answer my questions about why language (which I don't have to do) was showing in Process and the test (which I also don't have to do) is showing not started. Just the generic line saying my app is still in Progress and whoever looking at it will either send an email if they need more information or send an email to say sections have been completed and that I have approximately 3 months left.

I'm sorry to hear that. Did you choose the option "agent call back later" when you tried to contact IRCC via phone? I had to do that because the wait time was around 45 mins when I called them this noon via 1-888-242-2100 (IRCC Automated Toll Free line, I believe).
