It depends. I requested for UP when I applied due to my Job requirement as I had to travel US for work and US embassies are processing very less non immigrant visas since Covid and I applied for my B1/B2 in Aug 2020 when my earlier expired but CIC didnot bother that and for me its going to be one year in Sep. UP cases normally dealt within 6 months if its approved and IRCC helpline doesnot know if you call them its approved or not
I see, I was considering calling the helpline. But if even they don't know... Maybe, an ATIP request would contain the information.
In my case, I only requested urgent processing now as I initially thought I don't really have a case as my special authorization was still valid a year at the time of my application. At that time the average processing time was supposed to be a year.

4 months since I passed the exam. Still waiting for some updates from my local office.

I wish IRCC streamlines the processing and handles the case loads based on AOR date rather than local region. Its absolutely not fair where people from particular regions are waiting from early 2022 but decisions are being made for late 2022 Applicants from some of the fast processing IRCC offices . And this should be irrespective of online / paper.

I have made up my mind to wait for 27 months lol.

Doc's Request.
Birth Certificate (Never received any communication)
IELTS Request
Not Applicable
My file got updated today and everything is set to complete except Oath Ceremony (Not Started) & Citizenship Application Process : In Progress.

Does the Citizenship Application Process status is to be changed to "Decision made" before Oath Ceremony Request?

Can anyone please tell me if Language Skills Activity, Physical Presence Activity, and Prohibitions Activity are added under Application History as "In Progress" instead of "Completed" what does it mean?
