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

[Mek22]

Applied August 1 2023, still waiting for Language and Prohibitions, last update Sep 2024...

Any advice ?

As suggested here, start the manadamus process by self-filing. Read the details above.

Hi everyone,
I would appreciate your advice, I submitted my citizenship application in Feb 2025 and IRCC completed all the necessary assessments (language, criminality, test, presence, and prohibition), except for security (which has been pending since May 2025)
Since then, nothing has happened. Is there any one in my situation? any whatsapp groups for the applications which is taking so long in background and security, please help!

Thanks for your advice. This is valuable information. Good legal representation in mandamus, especially at the final stages or when preparing your application, is super important. No one is arguing against that. However, we are trying to avoid poor legal service and unnecessary costs. In particular, we want to avoid lawyers who show poor professional conduct after getting paid. We would appreciate it if you could share how to identify a bad lawyer from a good lawyer at an early stage without wasting money and time. What are the early warning signs, or any online genuine immigration lawyer rankings or references? Thanks

Sorry I wouldn't be able to answer that.
But many people in this forum have listed the lawyers they went with and said whether they were satisfied. Have a look.
