citizenship applications stuck for too long - Those with AOR before May 2025 - Let's gather here and update

Thanks @J0nSnow , I will try my luck to order through CBSA. Any idea ..how long it will take to receive the notes through CBSA?

CBSA seems to fulfill most within the 30 days, occasionally a bit sooner.

When they need to take longer, they usually will also respond at the end of the 30 days saying they need more time (which by statute is 30 more days).

I have submitted ATIP request to IRCC on Jan 25,2026. Thanks

Oh okay, that's odd, typically IRCC and CBSA give notes within 30 days

Hi. Is Security chexk sth included in Background check or it is sth additional. When BG is green, does that mean security is passed too?

 

[Onepiece4444]

Yes it's included in the Background Verification

Hi All,

I have submitted my citizenship application on July 24, 2024
Completed and passed my citizenship exam on October 4, 2024
Submitted Background check #2 back in October 2025.
Reached out to MP for further assistance with my application and they were told that my application is stuck at background check. There is no timeline for next steps.

What should I do? What are my options to expedite this?

No jokes and negative comments pls. Thank you!
