January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[Di2882]

Am I the only one who hasn't received any updates after background complete update? Not even test invite.
AOR is March 2nd, paper application

I had my background check done March 6 with an online application and have not heard anything since then. I know people with similar time line as me and they are already waiting for a ceremony.

It all depends on the office processing.

How to check what your visa office is?

Hello All, does anyone after how many days on average after ECAS has been shown as DM and LPP being shown as complete within tracker, can we expect the oath invitation to come

I called IRCC to try to get an update but the only information they gave me that I didn’t know was that it was at the Niagara office

My Timeline up to now:
Application info: Family, Toronto.

I am not sure how much time would I need to get to the next steps (Oath, Certificate, PAssport)..
According to CIC, I should expect to get the invitation for the Oath in about 4-6 months, so at the end of the year.

Take the Oath of Citizenship

Citizenship ceremony

Waiting on you

You've been scheduled to attend your citizenship ceremony on June 27, 2023.

Follow the instructions we sent to you for information on:

how to attend the ceremony

what documents you have to present

The notice you’ll receive is the official confirmation of the appointment. If you haven’t received the notice by the date of the scheduled appointment, contact us.



This is updated on tracker. It doesn't say online vs in-person. Do I have to wait for email for confirmation?

 

[Dr. Walden]

do you know if it's online or in-person?

Based on this link: Find a citizenship ceremony (cic.gc.ca) there are no in-person citizenship ceremonies in Alberta on that day. I am pretty sure it is online.

Thanks!

Congratulations! You should get the invite to oath pretty soon. .. The 4-6 months time normally starts from the time you complete your test, so after LPP, the process is relatively quick and shouldn't take 4-6 months.

If you don't mind sharing some dates, when did you send you application and what date did it get delivered?

Send a webform. I did and received the test invite.

Can you share the contact information where I can call?

UPDATE:

Tracker updated for Oath: June 6
Oath date: June 22
Office: Calgary

Received the oath letter on Wednesday. It will be online.

Also emailed and asked for e-certificate. Received another email yesterday with the instructions to download e-certificate 2-5 days after the oath.

Actually, I sent the application in November 2023, but it was returned to me because they needed the health cards copy for my kids (and this is so stupid, they could ask for additional documents instead of returning it). So I sent it back in December 2022 and I got eh AOR on Feb 27th, 2023.

What is the LPP?
Also, my wife just took the test 10 days after mine, but her profile has not been updated except the completed citizenship test. So this means 4-6 months are from her test date I am assuming.

thanks!
