My wife and I submitted a joint application for Canadian citizenship. Her application has progressed to the final stage and is currently awaiting the Citizenship Ceremony. Meanwhile, mine has been stuck in the "Background Verification" stage for over a year.

We’re starting to feel that the delay in my application might be preventing hers from being finalized, even though she likely could have received her citizenship months ago. We're now considering requesting IRCC to unlink our applications, but we're unsure whether this could help speed things up for her or potentially complicate the process further.

Can anyone shed some light on this?
Would unlinking the applications allow the other applicant to move forward independently? Any insights or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
