January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[nov/28/19]

I submitted my online application on January 24, 2025

AOR: 07 Feb 2025

Test invitation: March 3, 2025

Test taken: March 7, 2025

Test completed: March 21

Fingerprint request on March 13, 2025

Fingerprint given on March 14, 2025

There has been no update since then. I am waiting for my BG to be completed, but there has been no update since March 21.


On March 20, 2025, I called the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to ensure they received my fingerprint and sent it to the IRCC Office in Vancouver. The RCMP officer told me they received my fingerprints and mailed the report to the IRCC office. Since then, there has been no update on my citizenship application.

Today, April 29, 205, I called IRCC, and an officer answered. I asked him if the IRCC office had received my fingerprint report. The officer checked first and then told me that it might be that the IRCC Vancouver Office did not receive it.

The IRCC officer advised me to send a letter to the IRCC Vancouver office to ensure they receive my fingerprint report. She gave me the IRCC Vancouver Fax number to send the letter. I did the letter today and tried to send it by Fax, but the number was invalid.

Has anyone given their fingerprint more than a month ago, and has there been no update so far?

O ghave the same timeline as you and I got a ghost update today

Yes, if delays for LPP have been due to election (something I've speculated is possible), then we might see these starting to pick up. Fingers crossed.

I don't think the election had anything to do with it. It's just Canada being Canada as usual.

Hello All,

I have a question for citizenship.

- after getting my pr within few months, from my current(first) employer at that time 2021, i took two months off from my current employer and started working full time to second employer, as doubted; I did not enjoy the work/not as per work duties mentioned by my second employer so I went back to my first employer, However, my first employer was not aware about it. WIll it create any problem with citizenship?

- Also, after getting PR, I applied to two different University's with different programs, but dropped out after one semester form both university's. Durations are year apart approx. Will that have any kind of problem in my application?. OR do I need to mention it ? I was working full time by the time during this durations.

I have the exact same timeline as you - the only difference is my test got updated to completed on April 8th. Otherwise, all other dates are the same. Wondering if the rest of the process (LPP) will reflect that delay based on my test update date, or can I expect to have an update in a few days similar to yours. My processing office is in Vancouver.

probably not based on the test. I took my test in March 7 as well, but no update for LPP yet
