March 2025 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter trackerCan-Cit
- Start date
I know a person whose online application has been lost twice by IRCC. They have been advised to reapply with the fee waived. Shit happens even online.
Hello everyone,
MY AOR is Mar 2025, test done in April and FP request in June. I called IRCC and confirmed that they have my results from RCMP. There is no information on tracker form my FP. Background and LPP are in progress. However, I checked my application today and found that when I signed the application, I put the city to my born city not the city I signed. Does anyone has similar experience? would it influence my application?

Hi guys. Got the oath invite today!
Applied: March 16
AOR: April 8
Test taken: May 24
Background completed: May 31
LPP: Oct 31
Oath email: Nov 13
Oath scheduled for: Nov 25
Hang on there guys. It's a waiting game!
Two weeks after Oath I picked up my Canadian passport. (Journey finally complete).
Once you have the oath completed and certificate downloaded everything else is really simple.

I am unable to check my status on the tracker from the past couple of days. It throws me an error as technical issue. Does anyone have the similar issue or it’s only me.
It worked for me with a trick I learned here: change your phone date from automatic to manual in settings and change it to Nov 10. There open an incognito one and proceed. That should work!

two thoughts/questions for this morning:
Thanks.
- The tracker has been down for about four days now (yes, I know there’s a workaround). How do you feel about this? It’s a government platform, and being offline because someone forgot to renew a certificate seems to say a lot about how things aren’t functioning properly at IRCC. I’m not trying to exaggerate—just thinking out loud.
- In GCMS notes, when a due date is assigned, what does it actually represent for that specific step in the application process? Does it mean an officer is expected to complete the task by that date, or is it essentially meaningless since it can be extended, so not really a binding deadline?
Thanks.
1. Things happen. I've seen it happen with large worldwide companies. Not to excuse it, but the wolf of incompetence is always just near the door.
2. My understanding - based on some educated guesswork - is that it's a reminder function for someone to 'check' what's happened with applications at that date. And probably also tied to expected timelines / internal processing targets. So not entirely meaningless, as (just by numbers) many will have something happen within that timeframe and/or the reminder can function to motivate to close something out.
But meaningless also in the sense that it can be extended at will - and probably will be if the hold-up is lack of progress (or action) by some external partner to whom the targets/deadlines don't apply (for example, security reviews).
So in a common scenario IF (for example) at that due date IRCC does contact some external partner and that external partner (actually) does a check and says 'oh yep, it's on my pile and I'll get that to you this week', it can help. (I've no doubt this does happen, it's not like those 'third parties' want to delay everything.) But if those external/third parties do a nil response or say "not ready yet", then no "IRCC due date" is going to shake it loose.
Just my opinion/guess work, YMMV.

make sure you open a new tab, go to the tracker, and then try again

It’s been almost 8 months since I applied, with the last 4 bringing no updates whatsoever. I’m starting to accept that this is going to be a long process. I have two major life events in 2026 that depend on me obtaining citizenship, but I’m trying to come to terms with the possibility that there won’t be any resolution anytime soon.
I’m exhausted from checking the tracker every day at 6am. What should have been an exciting journey, and honestly a lifelong milestone, has turned into something discouraging, especially when I read about others stuck in background checks for two years.
