June 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[splashyygirl]

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

The excel tracker does a pretty good job of giving the data you requested. Here is the link : 2023 Citizenship Application - Tracker - Google Sheets

Yes, you must send signed oath letter to IRCC no more than 2 days after the oath. The letter is provided in the oath invite email.
You can take a print out sign it (there are two place where you sing, read the instructions carefully). then Scan the document or take a photo of it and email that photo to the same email where the invote came from.
The instruction says that when you send the email keep your subject line as follows: Oath form for [paper file number], [last name].
Also note that papers file number is not same as application number. paper file number is mentioned right below application number on the oath form you are signing.

If you have applied as a group/family. everyone in the group has same paperfile number but different application number.
We sent all our signed oath forms in a single email.

(Do not send any oath form for children below 14 years of age)
I hope this helps.

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation. This is surely going to be very helpful.

Officially a Canadian Citizen

I was originally a oath candidate on November 21, 2023 (Video) but I requested an In-Person ceremony and they rescheduled me today November 10, 2023.

i am so happy. The Citizenship Official who registered me to the oath, told me that she is the one who granted my request and exchanging correspondence with. She is so nice and even congratulated me.

It was a great ceremony, indeed there is no substitute for an In-Person ceremony. There are over 100 candidate in our group with 26 countries. The ceremony went well.

Goodluck everyone.

Congratulation! That is awesome that you were able to have an in person ceremony that early compared to the virtual.
Which office? Also did you email them to request for an in-person ceremony? How fast did they reply? Thanks!

How long does it take from LPP to Oath? I have seen as per the excel tracker that it can happen within a day or even take as much as 70 days.
