July 2023 - Citizenship Applications

Here comes another "is it normal?" Understand that with ircc, nothing is normal. It can take just a few days or few weeks or few months. For no apparent reason. Should I do something? you can, but probably will make no impact at this point whatsoever. If your file is newer than the posted processing time on the website of 17 months, you are out of luck whatever you do.

Lol, it seems a lot of peeps asked the same question, my bad bro. you know it is a super freaking frustrating and of course uncertain process. but thanks for the info.

Hi everyone. is it normal to receive Test invite before Background, Language, Physical Presence is complete?

For those who had the same scenario, how did it go?

Hi Seems like its the new norm. If you look at tracker, majority of newer applicants are getting test invite before LPP completion. It was case for me too. I am stuck after that although I did get asked for full PP scan 2 weeks ago which I sent same day and no update since

In order for Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) to continue the process of your citizenship application, scanned copies or photos of all passport(s) and travel document(s) pages held during your eligibility period are required.

You must provide a colour copy of each page, including blank pages.

The required documents have to be sent within twenty-one (21) calendar days from the date of this notice and by replying to this email. If necessary, you may be asked to present your original documents or other documents at a later date.

May I please ask if you know the reason for the interview. Asking because you mentioned travel docs and I applied with expired passport from my home country. Wondering if I may be summoned for an interview because of that.
I did attach an LOE explaining that my passport was expired and I am yet to renew it. I have only been out of the country once, since I became PR and this was years ago before the passport expiry.

This is what the notice says “INVITATION TO AN INTERVIEW WITH A CITIZENSHIP OFFICIAL AND VERIFICATION OF IDENTITY/DOCUMENTS”

I have applied with two passports (one expired, and the new one) and have over 30 days outside Canada as a PR. Not sure if that’s the reason, just my guess.

As a note, prior to COVID everyone had to attend the interview so maybe they are rolling it out again for select people.

Hi ,
Anyone get any update of LLP after ghost update on 27 oct.

I did...my wife completed her test on Nov 2 and it was updated on Nov 3. Our LPPs had been updated completed before she sat for her test, but I had completed mine already. That was strange and I remember posting it here. So, today, we got our Oath Invitation for Dec 1

I didnt read it as being rude but more so frustration with a system that isn't transparent. There really is no 'normal'.

Anyone on this thread from Scarborough office received some positive news? (i.e. lpp complete, oath ceremony date etc.) if so can you please post your timeline?

 

[Vancityed23]

We got asked for full travel docs scanned copies. Just curious, how long it takes for them to verify that and respond again if anyone had this done?

I got asked 2 weeks ago, submitted it same day. Radio silence since. I am assuming it came from Surrey office for you too
