October 2022 Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
The worst that will happen is that they will request a new one, but they will let you know. As far as I know, it is on them to request it and not on you to provide it once AOR has happened.Appreciate your kind reply.

I have a question, my Indian Passport is getting expired in month of July 2023. If, I am going to apply for a renewal, will affect the process now? or I should do that after Oath Ceremony date comes? Also, if I renew now, do I need to inform the IRCC by generating webform?
Thank you in advance!!

My AOR was Oct 21 and test completed Feb 09. Also Vancouver office. Nothing on LPP since. Not sure how they process these things lol.
You can wait before you renew the passport. I think after LPP within a month or so oath letter happens and then another month for certificate. For Indian passport you have time up to 6 months after expiry as well to renew
Don't know if anyone has noticed this, since Oct 2022 onwards they have started prioritizing online applications. I believe it is in alignment with the new online oath process that is scheduled to begin in June 2023. With the new process the oaths won't have to be administered by a judge, rather they would more be like accepting terms and conditions online and will be completed by clicking an email link and selecting "I agree" just like accepting terms and conditions when installing a new app or software.
Yeah, I have noticed that as well. When my spouse applied in 2021, Paper applications were clearly going faster. However, it seems now that it is almost same and perhaps even slower as compared to Online applications.
I guess most folks will switch to Online soon anyways, just to avoid the printing and mailing hassles.
Understand the concern since it is so close but I think you are fine. You have 4 months in hand, which should be enough time for you to get your citizenship and perhaps even Canadian passport.
Sending anything to IRCC via webform may cause more harm than help. My very rudimentary observation is don't rock the boat and let your application fall within the realm of normal processing. Anything that IRCC determines as out of normal tends to just add a few more months to processing. Just my opinion.
Please update spreadsheet
