Interview was easy, it was just like how everyone else here experienced. Officer just went through my application asked a couple of questions and it was done after 10 mins, I brought like 40 pages of docs but they didn't check any of them lol. I received a ghost update but no update on LPP yet, hopefully will see some progress in the next week.
May 2025 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter longvh
- Start date
Did the officer say anything about when you should be seeing an update on your tracker? Usually it is about a week or so.
No he didn't but I just got a real update, all LPP updated and the oath is scheduled on March 25. I'm finally getting there
Congratulations!!!No he didn't but I just got a real update, all LPP updated and the oath is scheduled on March 25. I'm finally getting there
Has anyone participated in the Citizenship to Passport Pilot program? I'm doing it and submitted on Friday (day after oath). My Citizenship Document was ready the same day as the oath so much faster than the reported 5-days. Just wondering how quick the passport may actually arrive. On the call they said up to 20 business days plus mail. Really wish they would offer a courier option so we don't have to wonder about Canada Post delays. Not sure if they send an email when it is being mailed but that would be nice too!
Received Citizenship to Passport Pilot Program invitation today (March 3, 2026) and have already submitted the application form, photo, and payment receipt via Canada Post Connect.

LPP + Oath on the same day. Wow. First time for everything I guess. Congrats!
Hello All.
My citizenship interview was on Feb 26 at Vancouver Visa office. My application includes 3 folks, myself, my wife and minor daughter. So, it was me and my wife at the interview.
The officer asked the usual questions which others have mentioned here such as our travels out of Canada and confirming some of the other details in our application like our place of residence etc. I think the officer is just trying to make sure that the applicant is genuine. On Feb 28, tracker was updated for me and wife saying LPP is done with Citizenship ceremony marked in progress. In the tracker they also mentioned the data of oath and mentioned i will get email soon on oath ceremony details. On March 4th, i got the oath details mail. So, here is my journey so far in the citizneship application process.

Please update once you get the passport. I am opting in for the program. Still waiting for oath ceremony to be completed
I did it via the passport program. After the oath got my passport withing 15-20 working days. My Oath was done in December. Although the e-cert was available for download the next day for me the passport program got it 6 days later. Then there were Christmas holidays. Overall its a good experience because no guarantors needed. They won't send any email nor there is any way to track it. I got a nice surprise one day when i went to collect the mail and the Canada post letter to collect a document from near by post office and when i opened it that was the passport.
