AUGUST 2025 - CITIZENSHIP APPLICATIONS

[KennNicJ]

My last update was Jan 19 (LPP). Called ircc today. They didn’t really give any additional info other than that all my assessment is done and my processing office is Vancouver.

Is there anyone who waited more than 34 (calendar) days between LPP and ‘oath scheduled’ update?

There are people whose lpp is Feb and got scheduled (by vancouver) in 2 days after that to a Feb/march ceremony…

They keep scheduling people whose completion dates are before me and the ones after me (end of Jan to feb).

I wouldn’t worry too much because yes it is just the last stage, but I have a work related travel to Europe end of May (which is not so soon yes but I need to know if I will have to apply for visa, and I dont want to go through the VFS pain if it wasn’t necessary in the first place—it’s like already almost impossible to find a visa appointment that you have to check the booking system like crazy).

Similar thing happened to me with PR. Everything approved, had exactly same timeline with a friend (same location too, Calgary that time). Then his pr card came in the mail in 3 weeks whereas mine came in 5 months.. and I had to cancel an important work travel because of this. It’s not even about how simple your case/file is. My everything was approved and i waited 5 additional months somehow stranded in canada for no real reason. When i called ircc at thattime they told me everything was ok and there was no problem in my application and that there was nothing i could do. (And yes i was kind of stuck in canada during that time because my status changed and my visa was automaticallycancelled so if i left i wouldnt be able to enter back, and yes there is some other thing youcan apply in this situation but it didnt make sense for me since my stay would be very short and clearly they wouldnt even process that application in time either, then i could get stuck in some other country which is worse).

Same as you, last update was Lpp on 26th January 26.
No updates afterwards.

Have you tried urgent processing? It looks your case doesn't match though, but maybe worth a try.

I am waiting for oath too. I have calmed down and lowered my expectations A LOT ever since my Lpp on Jan 15, in Vancouver. We have nothing to do except wait hopelessly

I guess all the application that located in BC (or Vancouver) are expected to have a much longer wait time

Is the oath ceremony scheduled by the processing office or by the local office where you reside? Is there a pattern on residence location rather than processing office location for people who are waiting for the ceremony for a long time?

Local office where you reside.

called IRCC again, nothing is happening to my application. Sad that I got assigned to Vancouver office

My last update was Feb 07 (LPP), located in Vancouver and Vancouver processing office, still waiting for Oath.
Do you choose for in person (paper certificate) oath ceremony and located in Vancouver? I am guessing that's why the progress is slower compare with others.

I chose e-certificate in my application, not paper.

Yeah I saw this but my case probably doesn't count. I mean I wouldn't really lose my job but it would greatly affect my career which they definitely don't care about. To be honest, in the past when i filled a webform they didn't even get back to me or anyhing so i don't have hope about contacting with webform either.

Hi
my oath scheduled for 4 March on the tracker but I haven’t received confirmation email. I called IRCC today and the agent said he will send an urgent message to the processing centre and that I will get a reply in 2 business days. I am very anxious if they will move my ceremony for a later date or what. Please advise if someone has experienced this before. I am in Toronto.
I applied for citizenship on 7 August.
