September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[PM_ME_UR_REJECTION_REASON]

When did you request for the urgent processing? How long it takes to get approved?

1st UP was few months ago, 2nd UP was about 3 weeks ago. I think they both sat in the office collecting dust, until they got reassigned to another officer.

Hi Raj,

On Aug 4 everything was marked as complete on my file, and tracker updated on Aug 6, I'm highly frustrated and fedup, I think I should renew my PR card coz IRCC is really bad with time

For me everything changed to complete on Jul 23, 2021
No Oath notification yet

Can somebody tell us the average time between completing all steps and the ceremony date ?

It's been 1 month and 3 days that I'm waiting

I'd say give it another month and you might likely receive an oath date.

Just learned that my Oath is on August 31, but I didn't receive any oath invitation letters yet. Who shall I contact? It is almost the weekend, and August 31 is a Tuesday...

Congratulations! I guess you can contact IRCC call center the first thing tomorrow (8 AM).

Thanks @rajkamalmohanram

I hope I can get everything done before novembre, since i need to go to see the family i guess you can't do the oath outside canada, neither receive the citizenship certificate to a foreign address.

1. Do you know how long does it take (on average) to receive the citizenship certificate after the Oath ? i found some sources says between 2-4 weeks.
2. Once we get the citizenship certificate, is there any other step or document i need to wait for before I go to request a Canadian passeport at Service Canada
3. Does it takes more time at service canada if it's the first time you ask for a passeport ? I googled online and it says the delay is 10 days.

Thank you

1. 1 week to a month.
2. No.
3. It is best if you can submit your application directly at a passport office to get the best processing times. The normal processing time used to be 10 business days before the pandemic. Now, its messed up. If you have travel coming up, you can use the Express Pickup service and you'll receive the passport in 2 to 9 business days.

How did you know that? Someone called you or from the tracker?

I called the call center and asked them. But literally few hours later today, I got the oath invitation email. My oath date is actually August 31 now. @rajkamalmohanram can you please update it on the excel? And mark me as UP?

Congratulations! I have updated the spreadsheet. Could you please provide the exact date when IRCC received your UP request and when it was approved? Thanks.

I honestly sent the UP via both webform and mail. So I am not sure which one they took into consideration. 2nd UP mail request was delivered August 13 though. It was approved on August 24th. Decision made August 26th. Oath August 31st
