So I joined the citizenship ceremony video 2 days ago and downloaded the e-certificate just yesterday (although we might have to wait 2-5 business days after the oath).
Hope all December applicants best of luck!

Btw, does anyone have experience applying for the new Canadian passport in Vancouver? I plan to do it in person but not sure the fastest way...

Hi, I submitted my application back in October 2023 and got my AoR in November. I gave the citizenship test in December and then was called for interview in March 2024. After that, there hasn't been any update. On July 9th it will be exactly 8 months (processing timeline as per IRCC). I did send them a webform inquiry in June but didn't get any specific response from them. What should I do?

You did the most. Once you pass processing timeline you may contact MP, and even that isn’t too promising. Just hope they start working on it soon.

I am also still waiting for background. I called IRCC yesterday and they mentioned there is nothing I can do on it and the regular time line does not apply in my case.
Has anyone ordered before GCMS notes from

• Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA)
• Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS)

I am thinking of order GCMS notes from them to inquire about my background status.

that is for whoever applies now or after it has been updated. the updated processing time doesn't just automatically apply to older applications just like that.

Is your language and physical presence got completed?

 

[captainarabiia]

Has anyone applied for urgent processing and been approved?
I sent my app without UP, but webformed, mid June, and found out this week that UP was approved.

I applied around first week of Dec 2023, finally was able to download my citizenship certificate today.

Did a few stupids things against law (not proud of them at all) after becoming a PR, almost jeopardized everything I have built in Canada from past 13 years but I was able to rectify them with help of good lawyers and good behaviour. I know I got a few (too many) chance, a lot of people will not, so please stay out of trouble especially if you are hoping for a Canadian Citizenship.
