December 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[hazelb712]

Hi,

I received the same email. I first received an email on January 10 stating that your application was generated on January 7, and today I received the same email again.

I think it is just email, doesnt mean anything...

do any one know what is the processing time for citizenship. As per the record it says 7 months. but does it usually takes 7 months?

Based on the previous months (from what they posted on their forum), a standard application with no issues can be anywhere from 3 to 5 months.

I believe IRCC's method is that the estimated time in months means that 80% of apps (i.e. 'most') are done within that time frame. That leaves the 20% that are by construction deemed 'complex', i.e. those 20% are those that are taking longer than usual - most of those probably do have some substantive issue, and a few (inevitably) just had some random processing issue .

Of course that means that quite a lot are completed in shorter timeframes than 7 months, i.e. @moman21 said "a standard application can be 3 to 5 months" and that's probably also a reasonable statement.

It's an estimate, it's backward looking, and other usual caveats.

Sorry but what deems as "complex" file

Sorry but what deems as "complex" file

It's a circular definition, basically: anything that makes it take longer than the 80% that get approved.

But more often it's something substantive: dates don't add up to 1095, other prohibitions, a security background issue, questions about taxes, anything that would delay clearing/approving.

this triggers me thinking if I missed any address on the application file, I didn't list the attorney's address used when applying for PR. Also do we need to list the address if we are on vacation and stay in an hotel for 3 days? The question on application is "List all addresses inside and outside of Canada during your entire 5-year eligibility period. "

You're overthinking. These minor things are ... minor.

The citizenship application guide says that we DO NOT need to list hotel addresses. And I am also not sure why you would list your lawyer's address...? They want to know where you lived and worked in the past 5 years. Lived as in that is your primary residence whether it is permanent or temporary (more than just a few days). For example, when I first moved to Canada years ago, we rented a long term suite for a few months until we could find a place to buy. That address I would need to list. But not any of the hotels I stayed at overseas on vacation or even when I went back to the States on vacation. I hope this makes sense.

Thank you

Give it at least 2 days before you try to set up your tracker. It takes time between AOR and the tracker getting activated on IRCC's end.

It took me 4 days to access the tracker after receiving my AOR. Once you get the tracker signup email, you’ll be able to log in. However, in some cases, people don’t receive the signup email but can still log in directly. So, I recommend waiting a few more days.
