Hi,

My application is showing the status as 'Decision Made". What does this mean? Can this mean that they have rejected it or there can be more questions?

If it is that they approved, then how long does it take to get the certificate?

Below is my timeline:

  1. We received your application for a citizenship certificate (proof of Canadian citizenship) on October 5, 2020.
  2. We sent you correspondence acknowledging receipt of your application(s) on September 2, 2021.
  3. We started processing your application on February 16, 2022.
Thanks.

Hi,

Just wanted to update that I got the status 'complete' today and the timeline adds 4th line stating that the citizenship certificate has been mailed on 8th of March.

So, now just waiting to receive it. :)

I think so. It was so long ago I can’t remember! It was the address that was in the instructions for regular mail for applications from the US and not a courier.

Congrats, mine still hasn't been mailed. Although processing date is the same your application was received before mine. August 19th is when they received my application. Hoping I got good news this week coming

Just had word from the embassy in London that my application has been approved...

Timeline:

Application received: 30/01/2020
Acknowledgement sent: 22/09/2020
Processing started: 27/05/2021

At various stages additional information has been requested and duly supplied

Decision made: 18/03/2022

A grand total of 778 days (25.56 months)

Advised that the certificate will take around 8 weeks to arrive. Planning to emigrate at the end of June if things work out...

We just need to work out what we need to do next... house is already purchased in Nova Scotia, job offer is secured... lots of reading up to do I guess...

Hi Colind1977, i just wondered, did you get citizenship as a grandparent was a Crown servant in WW2, like me? If so, was that why the asked for more information. It looks like they took ages to start processing it and then also in actually processing it. I wonder if i am to expect the same. Just got my AOR letter and number. Many thanks. Good luck with the move.
