June 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[ckf]

NGF seems to have gone into hibernation. My wife did her test on Sep 9th. Updated to completed by the 13th. LPP still in progress. I don’t see any movement on anyone at NGF in the tracker after the 2nd week of September

Same with me. I completed test on September 6th and no updates yet. NGF is too slow when compared to other VO

Hi guys,

I have received my oath invite letter by email yesterday and oath instructions email today. Please update on the excel sheet. That completes the process for me. Thanks again for the help and insights. All the best to everyone!

Congratulations and good luck for your future!

Well, my AOR is 18 June and my oath date is on 8th Oct. LPP completed on Sep 20. Can't complain about speed.

Not as slow as Vancouver office. My AOR was June 21st, BG was marked complete on Aug 6th and citizenship test completed on Aug 28th. I've been waiting ever since and it's almost 6 weeks now, no activity.

Been waiting nearly 4 months with no updates from Vancouver/Sydney office. I think they have stopped processing applications at this point...

They are just waiting for the right weather to start working!!!

Looks like there have been fewer updates for the past week. My language , prohibition was done sep 13, 10 days after test complete so pretty quick. But physical presence is still stuck . Will think about submitting form and sending passport scans and i94 history. Anyone done it pre emptively? Has it helped

I wouldn't personally send documents for the sake of it. Afterall, they will not review the documents until someone looks at your application.

True. But the counter argument is - sending files will make them take a look. Someone had sent pro actively and ircc replied- we never asked you to. Haha. While another said the file moved after sending. One person got passport scan request one month after language and prohibitions were done and wondered if they shpuld have sent earlier. So it all depends. We have to judge based on how much time has passed. May or May not work

 

[maverick1982]

Agreed. My only concern would be who will take a look? If you are next in line to be reviewed and the office see's you have submitted additional documents, then, this might delay your process even more whilst they are being reviewed?

My LPP is currently at "Not started" for over 4 months now, I submitted a correction to my travel history a few weeks ago, to this day, web form has been reviewed and no action has been taken. My file has not been updated, no documents reviewed and no status changes.

Thanks for explaining in detail. I hope your file moves soon. I'm going to stay put for now and not do anything.

I had a lot of US travel mainly via car weekend trips atleast 6-7 in 2021, 4-5 in 2022 and then 1 in 2023 and a couple in 2024, but mine got updated last week, so just hang in there. Still waiting for Citizenship Ceremony update

Same boat! LPP all completed on the same day as you (Sept 24) and yet nothing. Looking around, most get DM in 1-4 business days...

Looking at the spreadsheet, seems like quite a number of us are stuck in LPP complete but no DM ECAS....

Hello @hssrp, my oath ceremony has been cancelled as I will be travelling. They will schedule it once I am back on the 28th and give a date. Not sure if you want to update the tracker.

One additional question - regrding the Guarantor, I understand that person should know me for 2 years minimum but if someone recenly got citizenship and passport can they be a Guarantor or passport should be min 2 years old too? Just confirming because my guarantor is confused too. TIA.

Our changes were accepted. We were rescheduled for 10/02 and it was switched to zoom. Oath ceremony done yesterday
Thanks for everything.

Thank You. I had about 22 trips total. I did not move to Canada immediately after PR. About 1 year 5 months I was still in US. Moved in October 2020. I'll wait .
