January 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[a303]

still waiting for test invite

 

[wink]

What's your guess on when Jan'22 online applications would start receiving test invitations?
My guess is around first week of November (best case scenario).
Any other guesses?
Thanks.

Thanks.

I looked at online applications from 2021 and here's my guess

Online applications are taking between 162 and 189 days to get a test invite (counting from IP DATE not SUBMISSION or AOR)

The average I ran on 10 applications from October is 177 days

The average I ran on 50 applications from aug-sept-oct-nov is 172 days

I'm guessing it's getting stretched as we go in time but I'm hopeful we hear something within the average timeframe

I myself applied on Jan 4 and got AOR Feb 25 - IP Feb 28

If I try to make a prediction it would be like the following

Best case (162): Aug 09, 2022
Worst case (189): Sep 05, 2022
Weaker average (177): Aug 24, 2022
Stronger average (172): Aug 19, 2022

Of course this is all might be so irrelevant since IRCC can be unpredictable but I'm hoping for the best

Thanks. But I am not sure whether you started to look from Jan'21 or Oct'21. It makes huge difference because IRCC stopped processing online applications starting Oct'21 until recently. So to get realistic guesstimation, we should look only Oct and Nov'21. As per this understanding, just now Oct'21 applications started moving. Nov'21 has just two online applications received test invite. And looks like average days are somewhere closer to 290 (from delivered date).

If we looks carefully, almost half of Oct'21 applications yet to receive test invite. And then Nov and Dec months.

Receiving test invite starting Sept looks too optimistic in my view (I hope it becomes true though). Maybe 2nd or 3rd week of Oct possible. Just my thoughts.

@wink good point. The only thing I like from 2021 online applications is that there's only a major delay in the test invite. After that things move quite quickly

Let's hope for the best

My PR card is expected to expire in February 2023, and my Indian passport expires in August 2023.

I have applied for Canadian Citizenship through an online application. Here is my timeline -

Online Application submitted - 26 January 2022
Application delivered - 26 January 2022
AOR Received - 10 March 2022
In Process - ecas - 14 March 2022

The current processing time of new citizenship seems to be 24 months on the CIC website.

My question -
1. I am planning to renew both my PR card and passport. Do I need to communicate/update CIC regarding my application with the new details of my PR card and passport?

2. Is there any way to ask CIC to expedite the citizenship process so that I don't have to do this ordeal of renewing of Indian passport and PR Card?

I am looking forward to some insights from the admins!

After I have applied for citizenship (status: waiting for test invite), I renewed my PR card which has new expiry date. Do we need to communicate this to IRCC ?
