November 2020 - Citizenship Application

[engray]

My PR card is expiring in November. I'm wondering if I should apply for a new one since it's taking so long.

I think you should.

Agreed with @engray . There's no harm having an updated one. You never know if you needed to leave the country or not. Besides this citizenship process is not following "12 months" trend anyway.

Best to apply in advance and have it in hand.

Looking at trends and the long waits there is not average wait time between BG complete and Test invite

A friend from took and past the test on April 2021. He said he had to wait 13 months. Sorry, I do not have his complete timeline.

I would suggest do not go by the timeline of people who filed their application early last year say beginning of 2020 . That is when the pandemic hit and all apps were delayed. But their app status now is very much similar to ours. Rather October onwards, they seem to have sped up the process so lets hope for the best . Many people I know who filed way back in March 2020 have got their BG complete after us. So hold on, we are getting there

Thank you for your reply. I am a newbie here and did not have time to check all the recent posts about citizenship applications. If they have speeded up the process maybe we will have a 9 month process window. From our mouths to God's ears

I really hope and wish that's true If nothing more, this process has taught us patience, just generally in life LOL.

It is showing 'Under Progress'. The number 1183 was the number I had used during my application.
