AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

[ccaallvviinn]

Update: I received an update today that an interview has been scheduled for me on June 9th. My LPP section is still showing as In Progress.

Is getting an interview at this stage normal, or is it something to be concerned about? Would appreciate hearing from others who have gone through this.

Original post: Hi everyone, looking for some advice on my citizenship application. My file moved quickly at first, but it’s now been over 2.5 months with no updates, and PPL is still In Progress. Applicants who tested much later have already reached Oath, so I’m getting a bit concerned.

Timeline: Aug 05 – Application submittedOct 08 – AORNov 14 – Background completedDec 12 – Test inviteJan 02 – Test completedJan 08 – Test marked as CompletedSince then – No updates; PPL still In ProgressApplied from Toronto.

Has anyone else experienced a long pause after the test stage? Any guidance would help.

Did you see any ghost update, before receiving the interview update?
