I genuinely don’t understand how people that applied in december have already received their citizenship and my husband that applied in April is still stuck on prohibitions and background check since jan 24th.
any insights would be appreciated.
based in mississauga/ ON
here’s his timeline:
- application submitted: mid April
- AOR- May 19
- fingerprints required - june 22
- citizenship test scheduled - june 23
- citizenship test completed- july 10
- fingerprints received- july 20
- physical presence completed- Jan 24
- language skills completed- Jan 24
- prohibitions - in progress
- background verification- in progress
- citizenship ceremony- not started
I understand your concern. I applied in April, 2023. Language, Prohibition, and Physical presence is still pending, profile was last updated in October 27, 2023. Applied from Edmonton. Many people I know that applied this year got their citizenship already. The wait is so frustrating.

Thanks in advance for experts opinion,
I'm getting job offer from middle easter (Gulf) country, but my application is still stuck in LPP since Mid of July 2023.

Do you think, my job offer can trigger my application for urgent process ? If I submit webform with job offer and explain the situation to them. Please give expert opinions. Thank you.

I don’t think so, the job offer has to be in Canada not outside it, like simply you can’t speed up the process just because you got a job out of Canada knowing that you won’t pay tax and you won’t contribute in the Canadian society.

Did you get the Test window almost one year after your AoR? IRCC sucks I guess!

This waiting is really frustrating. Hopefully rest of the process will be fast and smooth for you.

I'm stuck with LPP since Mid of July, God knows what they are checking !!
