February 2023 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter forw.jane
- Start date
After waiting 6 months after my test completed, LPP finally completed on Jan 10. Please update the tracker. Thanks!
You said all completed. Kids application completes in the end when parents application completes. They don't see any status transition.
This is what I see for myself and my wife,
Language Skills _ Complete
Physical Presence _ Complete
Citizenship Test _ Complete
Background Verification _ Complete
Prohibtions _ Complete
Citizenship Cermony _ Not Started
This is what I see for my son,
Language Skills _ In progress
Physical Presence _ In progress
Citizenship Test _ Not Started
Background Verification _ In progress
Prohibtions _ In progress
Citizenship Cermony _ Not Started
In the ECAS, it shows 'Decision Made' for myself and my wife, and for my son it says 'In progress'.
My question is that is this normal? Or I have to give a call to IRCC that why my son's account still shows 'in progress'. My concern is that if he will get the citizenship cermony invite / certificate with us or not.
He will not see status transition like yours. It will remain "In Progress". When you get oath invite, he should also get one.
There is no issue for you to call IRCC. This is normal for kids application.
Sure thing. Interview covered:
- Confirming current residential address (I have been living outside Canada)
- Show passport, PR card, Canadian ID
- Asked what I do for a job
- Physical presence - I applied with ~1078 days so they wanted to know that I was confident in the accuracy of this number, asked how I kept track of travel days etc. I was expecting to share screen and show flight tickets but this wasn't required
- In 2015 I had a visa extension denied and had to leave Canada (returned later as a sponsored PR). I had provided all the details around this in my application but they just asked me to explain it again and had no issues with it.

Thanks very much for your time in replying! Appreciate it!
Seems like ultimately the interview is a positive sign that progress may be made quickly on the application.
Funnily enough, I don't think there's anything unusual about my application. All I can think of is them wanting to verify my presence calculation because part of it is made up of the 0.5 days attributed to my time before a PR. It comes to 1171 days.

Thanks CABA - yea almost 9 months from Test complete to LPP complete. Now can only hope Oath scheduling is "somewhat reasonable" and not protracted as well. Fingers crossed. Glad both your and your partners are done!
