January 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[NoCanDo]

Hi question to folks who gave teams interview (Vancouver office): I gave my teams interview yesterday. Usually how many days it took for you to see the LPP completed update after the interview?

It depends on the officer and the circumstances of the application. Some people saw an update as soon as the next day and for others it took up to 4 weeks. My spouse had the interview Oct 25 (a week and a half ago) and LPP is still in progress. Good luck.

Hi everyone,

Just an Update...

My Oath ceremony was on 9th September.

I didn't receive any finger print or interview request.

I received my e-certificate within two days.
I applied for 10 year passport. I went to Toronto. Walk in. Waited for 2 hours.

The documents they needed were 2 passport photographs (one signed by photographer and Guarantor), application form with guarantor and references details, and colored copy of e- certificate (I went to public Library to get a print. It was 25 cents per side) . It was not urgent at all. I was supposed to receive it after 20 days but I actually received passport via Canada post within 2 weeks.

Best of luck to everyone...

I think a lot of the "normal" cases are done, and those with non-routine applications are just trying to retain their sanity by forgetting the whole thing. My spouse, who is enjoying an extended security clearance, hardly remembers she has an application ongoing. I kind of monitor the application and the forums, despite my application sailing through months back, because of a somewhat obsessive personality

anyone got a notice for interview - what do they generally ask in the interview?

BG Completed March 2023
Since then there has been no movement, I have tried web form but there is no help
Is there anyone else in the same situation
Location Ottawa

Hello guys, how long does it take from test and background completion to LPP completion? Based on you experiences or observations?

Absolutely! I'm one of those non-routine applications. I check my application a few times a week, but I've stopped being hopeful for updates and just expect that there's no update now. The update on October 27th was such a tease. I'll try to put in an ATIP request this weekend.

One of the issues is we would have no idea if our applications are "routine" or "non-routine" and I've said it before it all seemed too arbitrary.

They do explain what would make an application non-routine here: https://www.ircc.canada.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1169&top=5

In my case, I was required to submit fingerprints, which would make my application non-routine.
