November 2022 - Citizenship Applications

[RefugeeHelp1]

Hello
Paper application for a family with a kid.
Delivered Nov 7th and AOR Dec 28th.
Today Feb 23 both parents received a ghost update but not the kid.
What is this ghost update? Why not the kid?
Thank you

Pretty normal for kids, they may never see an update, and then everything is marked once the parents are marked done / complete!

Good luck my friend

Love this so much! we will soon be able to do our own citizenship ceremony without a judge

Canada Gazette, Part I, Volume 157, Number 8: Regulations Amending the Citizenship Regulations (Oath of Citizenship)

Objective
The purpose of the amendments to the Regulations is to add flexibility in how the Oath of Citizenship can be taken, including in the presence or not of an authorized person. The flexibility would allow the Department to implement options aimed at improving client service and reducing processing times of citizenship applications while continuing to allow citizenship applicants to meet the legal requirement of swearing or affirming to the Oath of Citizenship.

Last Feb 21st, our app status in ECA changed from application received to in process. Today, Feb 25th, I received a ghost update in my tracker. It says it got updated today but no actual changes. Do you know what could that be? Thank you.

I checked my husband's app. His is already BG completed as of Feb 23rd. Is it normal that we don't follow the same timeline?

It depends from case to case.

Have seen many applicants getting within a week or 2 and at the same time there are others waiting since quite long.
