January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

One of the first guys for Jan applicants got DM and Oath scheduled, no language required case. This is encouraging and so quick ~2 months. The real suspense is for regular test completed candidates, lol - no one yet. Waiting for the first one,

I am still stuck at language in-process. I was told by a family member to attach my Canadian degree but I ignored it.

What triggers the fingerprint (FP) request? Does it relate to how the citizenship applicant obtained permanent residency? The FP email states that the request is due to the expiration of fingerprints for citizenship purposes, which is set at one year. This applies in my case, but I’ve noticed that many applicants were not asked to provide fingerprints and passed BG with ease. It’s unlikely that all of them had prior fingerprints within the last year. I want to understand the pattern behind these requests.

When was the last time you gave IRCC fingerprints? They say they ask for them if it is more than 1 year since the last time you gave them.

My test window starts tomorrow, and I will be taking the test sometime during the day. I hope it's easy! Tests always make me nervous! I've been studying and doing the practice tests, and I've lived here for nearly 13 years, so I should know a lot of this stuff already, BUT I'm never NOT nervous!

We weren't asked for fingerprints, but we don't have very common names, and we have not left Canada since we arrived in 2012, so they already know EVERYTHING about us!
