March 2021 - Citizenship applications

Your physical address? You can update it during the oath in the registration phase. They will confirm your address to send you the certificate.

Alright, I will update during my Oath registration phase. So Do they required my address proof from new residence (Driving license or Health card) ?

Are paper applicants (family) from Vancouver doomed?

AOR - April 2021. Background verification completed in July 2021. No updates since.
Didn’t expect to be close to oath ceremony or anything. Just the citizenship TEST invite will do a whole lot to calm my nerves.

Now that the CIC processing time has been increased to 27 months I’m not sure whether to contact local MP to find out more about my application or request NOTES.

Try to call IRCC and webforms and see if you get any reply.

Thanks. Will do but do they answer case specific questions over phone?

lengthy processing time (27 months) puts me in a tough spot. Now I can’t even say that my application exceeded normal processing time. SMH

 

[RoseDB]

Still waiting for mine

@ics6600, I see in the Excel you applied for Urgent processing? Did IRCC consider your request?
I am curios to know as applied for it but no reply since 2 months and over.

It is difficult to get hold of live person when we call IRCC. but some times we may get lucky and officer may be able to provide with some information. However, do send a Web form and request them to provide you with more information.

I called them last week , they said they cant find any evidence ( record) that i applied Urgent processing. Not surprised.

I am wondering if these new processing times are for people who apply now only or including the ones who applied like 1 year ago when the processing time was 12 months? I hope it is the latter. Cause mine is the same. I sent my application on Feb 21st (2021), they received the package on March 1st, send me AOR on April 24th and background check completed on July 12th. Nothing since then. (Vancouver) My husband applied 3 months earlier than me and he is now waiting for oath. Not sure why mine is stuck
