March 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[m34]

its funny, that this is the status for all months from MAR 2025 AOR and before except for one month which is AOR Dec 2024, which still shows 1 Month remaining....

I didn’t notice that, but you’re right. It just shows how broken the system is! 328K applications pending—wow, that must be an all-time record.

To put things into perspective, Australia currently has around 56K outstanding applications, and they received 24K new applications in July alone. Although Australia officially quotes processing times of up to 13 months, their actual numbers and backlog look completely different from what we’re seeing here in Canada.

I’m not sure if anyone has been tracking the historical data, but it would be interesting to compare.

And finally they declared or rather now they started providing a justification as the delay is because of your application being complex. I just checked the processing time for fun and this is what they are quoting now:
————————————————-
We might not be able to give you an estimate because:

• your application is complex
• we need to check more things on your application for security reasons

Even if you haven’t heard from us recently, we’re still processing your application. If we need more information, we’ll contact you.

Things doesn’t seems like getter better. Honestly doesn’t seem like any light at the other end, all dark. But be patient and hope for the best.
