Hi everyone,
I’m looking to connect with others who have non-routine Canadian citizenship applications, especially cases involving fingerprints, extended background/security checks, or delayed processing beyond standard timelines.
Here’s a quick snapshot of my timeline:
Would really appreciate if others can share:
Also curious:
Trying to understand realistic timelines and patterns here — any data points would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
I’m looking to connect with others who have non-routine Canadian citizenship applications, especially cases involving fingerprints, extended background/security checks, or delayed processing beyond standard timelines.
Here’s a quick snapshot of my timeline:
- Application submitted: 26 Feb 2025
- Test: Completed
- Criminality: Passed
- Background/Security: In progress
- Other stages (language, prohibitions, physical presence): Not started / pending
- Marked as non-routine (fingerprints requested)
Would really appreciate if others can share:
- Application date
- When/if fingerprints were requested
- Time taken for background/security to clear
- When remaining steps (language, prohibitions, etc.) started after that
- Total time to oath (if completed)
Also curious:
- Has anyone successfully received urgent processing in a non-routine case (especially employment-related)?
- Did MP involvement help move things forward?
Trying to understand realistic timelines and patterns here — any data points would be really helpful.
Thanks in advance!
