November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[lezah07]

My PR expired last year in November. I just renewed it because I wanted to travel this year while I was waiting. It sucks but I just did it and got it over with.

my husband, my older son, and mine are all expired. we don't have plan to travel so we did not renew. save some $$$
only my daughter's was renewed because they were supposed to compete in the US but didn't materialized

Yes, I am a May’21 applicant and done with my ceremony.

Unfortunately, my spouse who applied in Nov 2020 is still waiting.

My friend is on the same boat. He gave test in December 2021 and got decision made in Feb 2022 and nothing after that. No oath date yet. His PR will expire in October. Is cic doing this on purpose so that they get money for PR renewal. This is ridiculous wait time. His family condition is not so good back home. He might have to go anytime. Any suggestions how can we make cic wake up and work on his file. Please suggest based on your experiences. Not sure what it is taking so long for giving oath invitation.

Honestly, I am not sure to be honest. I am still waiting and hoping for a date before the end of this month. I know people have followed up and I am thinking perhaps that could also be an option but I am not sure if that will help to be honest. I just sent in online request for an update but we will see how that goes!

Hello everyone,
Finally I got Oath update today. I pray for everyone who are still waiting for their test/oath invitation. May you all get a good news in next few days.

Hey guys, just an update - I spoke to Immigration and they confirmed there is nothing of concern on my file and it's still in progress but even if we applied before they announced it would now take 2 years to process citizenship grant applications, the 2 years application time still applies to you. So she mentioned, they have till February 2023 to finish processing the application 0_0! Definitely not what I wanted to hear but now I know I may have to just go ahead and renew my PR and plan my travel that way.

I had a job offer from US. I requested for urgent processing based on it.

Mine was an online application, but I don’t think that has anything to do with quicker turnaround time for 2021 applicants.

Based on my observation and looking at other applicants, it seems like 2021 candidates were processed at a faster pace than 2020, regardless whether they were online or paper based
