Hello fellow wannabe Canada Citizens,
Our family filed Citizenship paper applications in May 2021 last year, received AOR July 12 and the application has not moved at all except an update yesterday that background verification is complete. Is this normal waiting time? Our local office is Mississauga.
Another question- we renewed our PR cards after filing the citizenship application and receiving AOR. Should we upload new PR cards and update our new PR card information for our citizenship application? In that case, where do we do that?
TIA for your inputs, DPR

I called the IRCC number today to get an update on the application. All good and the application is in process. But after the call - just 5 minutes ago I got this email.

Hi everyone, how long does it take after everything has been marked as "COMPLETED" except the Citizenship Ceremony (Not started) to receive the Oath letter?
