September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[harirajmohan]

is there anyway it could be done online? Phones they are always quite busy and hard to get a hold off.

Yes you can certainly. Easier. https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/change-address.html

Guys, something unbelievable just happened!

I just got a call from Mississauga IRCC office a few minutes back and I was told they approved my application based on my urgent processing request and I am being scheduled for oath on August 23rd. She said I'll receive an email in 2 business days!

Update :

So, looks like IRCC employees are hard at work after business hours. I got the call at 8:25 PM which isn't standard business hours. Looks like IRCC is trying to speed up and move applications to decrease backlog.

Many Congratulations Raj

Hi Raj,

Background Check Completed on July 30.

Guys with the test and background done, does anyone have a rough idea when can I expect the process to complete?

Well, the next step is DM and then oath. There isn't a standard timeline. Normally, I'd say expect 3 - 5 months of wait time before you become a Canadian citizen but I sincerely hope September 2020 applicants get their oath invitations and test invites real soon.

Wish everyone all the best!

Hi everyone, I'm a septemeber 2020 applicant, patiently (or not so patiently) waiting to hear more.

Here's my details:

Location: Toronto (processing by Scarborough office)
App type: Single
Physical presence days: 1,627.5
App sent: Sep 9, 2020
App delivered: Sep 14, 2020
AOR: Dec 7, 2020
In process: March 22, 2021
Test invite: June 9, 2021
Test date: June 17, 2021 (updated in ecas on june 19)

Language/physical presence/ prohibitions all still in progress. I'm having flashbacks to my painfully long PR process (I was caught up in the 2013/4 backlog... sigh)

Hey @rajkamalmohanram, congratulations! You've helped this forum a lot! I guess you'll be leaving this forum soon after you do your oath? Oh maybe not, oath is not the last step

Anyways, is it me or the IRCC is currently processing applications (to set to DM status) for those who mostly took the test in June? Next week will be 3 months since I took the test in May and it's been a dead silence. The way they work is just impossible to fathom sometimes.

Submitted webform inquiring about my FP's submitted on 7th July. Got a reply saying that they have NOT received them yet!

Congratulations! It does seem like processing is going a little quicker now. (Fingers crossed for everyone!)

Congratulation Raj.
