2023 Citizenship Applications

[denald]

Hey guys, any updates? It's been quiet lately. Seems like they are still processing Apr-July applicants.

No updates, December 2023 AOR

No updates on my end as well. I have been waiting for the Oath since early March 2025.

No updates here either

No updates as well. I anticipate 2nd fingers request.
I am NOT seeing any movement for other applicants as well


AOR Dec 2023
Last update Apr 2024

I think some people just leave the forum without saying anything after getting oath invitation, which is understandable considering how long we've been waiting. But, it makes understanding the current timelines a bit difficult. I remember a year ago, SS was taking around 12-14 months on average. Now it's taking 20-22 months and still going up

Have you tried emailing them? I've heard if you reach out to them, they might schedule your oath by email. Let me know which center is responsible for your ceremony and I might have their email address.

The only way to know for sure would be an ATIP request for IRCC or CSIS, asking for the SS stats in the past x years : number of security checks made for citizenship applications, duration, number of those that were potentially sped up due to a lawyer getting involved... I doubt this would be redacted.
But yeah, I myself closely know someone who's been in SS for 20 months or so, with no idea when it will finish.

I called an agent couple of weeks ago and she said I just have to wait and there is nothing she can do. It is the Vancouver office in charge.

Did anyone check his application lately? The site shows a technical error message for the last 48 hours.

Did you apply for a GCMS recently? It might give a hint about the reason for this delay.

I disagree with the union as I doubt things were actually any faster with the people that they got, especially without any service mandate. However, the important take away is the number of cases piled up at the court is real and CSIS does not have enough resources to clear up the gong show that IRCC created.

Thank you for replying. I thought it is something related to my account.

Sent a couple of emails I had to you, give them a try, hope you get your oath soon

Apparently they received 538K immigration and citizenship screening requests in 2024. No wonder SS time is increasing and they don't respond to ATIP requests anymore.

I could not login this morning too, is anyone else having the same technical error showing while trying to access the tracker page ?
