Hi friends, so my time to apply for Canadian citizenship is coming near. Was hoping to apply as soon as I become eligible, but I also have some international travel plans coming up some time around 1.5 years from now, and cannot afford the citizenship process to get in the way as it will be very time sensitive.

So my question is: What has the processing time been lately for citizenship applications? IRCC has a processing time listed on their website, but I trust this group more for real time information. :)

lol few lucky people have gotten it completely in under 3 months. but you have people waiting from 2022 and early last year still waiting... it varies. no precise answer. but on average seems like 7 months to a year. but once you get an oath date you should be prepared to spend money to come back to canada unless you don't mind waiting another 5 months or more waiting for it it be rescheduled and they will only start the process of giving you a new date once you show proof you are back in canada.

Hi All,

I applied for my passport at 74 Victoria Street , Toronto on Feb 26 2024 and was given 11 March 2024 for passport mail-out and today is almost end of 13th March 2024 its over 2 days after the mail-out date. Even the online status has not updated since beginning its says we are processing your application. Still waiting for my passport. I called client support as well they said the application is approved but the passport has not been mailed out yet.
Can anyone share their timeline if they applied at 74 Victoria Street , Toronto?
Did you eventually get your passport?

Hi all,

Just saw the information on the passport tracker as "Your application is approved". Does that mean it's been printed? Or there will be a following up status saying it's printed? Thanks.


Your application is approved. Your passport will be available for pick-up on the date indicated on your receipt.
