No , dont think you need to. I received my PR inbetween the process too. I used new PR during test and gave it to them during oath ceremony. Things like marriage, visa rejection of another country /new status in another country which wasnt in original applciation etc which are material changes will definitely need to be reported

Hi all,
Here is my timeline:
Application sent: June 29
AOR received: July 2
Background verification completed: July 12
Citizenship request: July 31
Exam taken: August 6
Citizenship test completed: Aug 16

No updates after that, LPP is still in Progress. Is this still under the normal timeline? If I call the IRCC would that be helpful?

Please let me know. Thanks.

Current average time is 7 months.
You're halfway there only.
No real point contacting IRCC yet or doing anything beside waiting.

Just got back from our in-person ceremony! It was an awesome experience and I recommend you asking for one if you feel like attending one but got an invite for a virtual one. It's worth it!

Thanks everyone for keeping these forums and topics running!

Good luck with your applications!

Niagara Office -- I applied in June 2024, and everything showed as completed except for the ceremony scheduled since Sept 28, 2028. However, the status shows that the ceremony has not started. Why is it taking so long to receive the oath invitation letter? Is anyone else in a similar situation?

Thank you.

do they consider 7 months or 12 months?. 7 months is what it is taking on average at this moment and it can vary. But 12 months is what they consider normal? . Beyond that it is considered for inquiry

Current for Citizenship is 6 months as of 04-OCT-2024:
How are processing times calculated?
Most of our processing times are historical. This means we base them on how long it took to process 80% of applications in the past.
Your processing time starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision on it.
Forward-looking processing times New
On May 1, 2024, some types of applications switched to forward-looking (expected) processing times. This means we calculate them using

  • the total number of that application type we have to process
  • the amount we expect to process every month
The application types showing forward-looking processing times are
  • Canadian experience class (Express Entry)
  • Provincial Nominees Program (Express Entry and non-Express Entry)
  • federal skilled workers (Express Entry)
  • Quebec skilled workers
  • spouse or common law partner (living inside or outside Canada)
  • parents or grandparents
  • citizenship grants
  • citizenship certificate (proof of citizenship)
