[cococly]

Everything is complete except the ceremony (not started) since March 29, 2022. Is anyone in the same boat?

Mine is the same as yours since March 31, 2022

CIC has updated its processing time for citizenship applications from 12 months to 27 months
This is what immigration minister was talking about allocation 80 million to improve processing time

We are just the lucky ones who are getting processed fast. Mostly because of our application time aligns with the upcoming election in May. So things are moving pretty fast comparatively.

Would this apply to people who applied before the update ?

yes that’s it.

Sadly it applies to everyone. I believe the only purpose of putting 27months is so that older applicants can’t complain about exceeding processing time. It may not actually take 27 months if you applied in 2021, there are applicant waiting since 2019 and 2020. This is just a tactics to reduce the amount of web forms raised.

I was busy waiting for oath notification, but all I got 2 days ago was an email to send in proof of provincial residence(driver’s license or health card).

does anyone know how long it will take them to get back to me? Language, presence and prohibition are still in progress. Test done end of nov 2021.

My physical presence, language skills, and prohibitions are still not completed even though I had sent them my passport copies on the 8th of March, 2022.

Were you expecting an oath date? Why're they asking you for ID instead of passport copies?

I have no idea. I believe different citizenship officers ask for different proof when they are trying to make a decision.

I am really praying for the oath to be sent. Visa wait times are ridiculous and I need to travel in may.

Hello can they send the oath date for one family member and other they wait till he re do the citizenship test or both have to wait for all applicant to be pass the test

At that time nobody will be interested. It's already ridiculous how this process is arbitrary. Communication is like 3rd world. What is the reason of submitting email, only to have communications sent elsewhere.

Is it ok to directly email your visa office to get an update or webform is the right way?

Should we send passport copies in advance to expedite the process. What are your thoughts on it?
