same here... had exam in march and still in IP... lets find Mr. Trudeau.



I really cant take this wait anymore. What can we do? this is not a fair process at all, application frozen to In Process and we have passed the test and interview and all is ok since March 9th and we applied in December.
I see people who applied in April and already had their ceremony, this is not fair and we should do something about it. we should complain to our MPs or even the Prime Minister. This is the worst kind of wait, we were planning a vacation with the family and since my wife is still waiting for her citizenship, we couldnt go to any of those countries with VISA exempt !! THIS IS NOT FAIR CANADA !!

You might want to call IRCC to find out if it's pending on security clearance or anything.
And you can also request ATIP but it'll take 30 days to receive but it'll give you more details.

Dear Experts/Gurus

We applied for Citizenship in December 2016 & still in process, while from October 11th, 2017 they are implementing new rules (3/5), what will be our situation at this moment ? sometimes we are feeling handicapped due to this type of confusing & unmatured rules and government....

Please advise

Hi friends,

We finally had our oath ceremony yesterday. We were 80 people receiving our Canadian citizenship.
Very nice ceremony.
We got there and had our PR cards taken and our oath invitation checked then we were asked to sit in a room. The judge came in, made a short speech then we were asked to stand up, recite the oath. We then were handed our citizenship certificates then ended the ceremony by singing the national anthem.
The whole thing lasted an hour and a half.

Best of luck to all

Call CIC to see why your application is stuck.

You will be processed under the old rules. I would phone them and ask what is going on.
Best of luck

Looks like you are trying to request IRCC to process your application urgently.

Unless you don't have any other travel document issued by your country of citizenship AND you can prove that you can't get a passport/travel document from your country of citizenship (refugees have this scenario, for example) AND you can also prove that the reason for this travel is important (for example, for a very important business trip for your Canadian business / death or serious illness of a family member) or provide any other 'valid' reason, they will NOT process your application urgently.
