September 2020 - Citizenship Applicants

[rajkamalmohanram]

Could you guys help me out with UP as well,I applied my file under UP in sept 2020, but they are processing under the normal time.I mentioned the reason that I need to get into canadian armed forces and In order to do so they need a citizenship?

please help thanks guys

UP requests are approved on a case-by-case basis. Unfortunately, we can't "make them" process the application urgently. The officer processing the application makes the decision of whether or not to approve the UP request.

All you can do is request IRCC. Approval or Denial decision of the UP request rests with them.

Go ahead and send them another request via webform and provide all supporting documentation. Good luck.

lol. No, it won't take that long. Not too long from now, a mix of in-person and online oath ceremonies should decrease the backlog significantly.

I wish you all the very best!

They started doing in person ceremonies and test ?

Hello guys! I just received the below email from Scar office:

This letter is in reference to your application for Canadian Citizenship and is further to your correspondence received at our office.

Our records indicate that you require a hearing with a citizenship officer; as such regular processing times no longer apply.

Please note that due to the current measures to curb the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID 19) IRCC is not scheduling in person appointments at this time. Once hearings resume you will be notified with a date and time to appear.

That’s strange!! Did you pass or fail your test ?

Apologies if this has already been answered before - Any idea on how long it takes to receive your passport after the oath ceremony?

You will NOT be receiving your passport as part of the citizenship process.
You will have to apply for it separately once you receive your citizenship certificate.

I applied for one the same day. I went through my application again in case if I made any mistake. It was crisp and clear.

Did you try calling IRCC helpline and ask agent what could be the reason ?

Yes, I did call them on the same day. She said the same stuff that was mentioned in the email.

Ah, I hate it when they repeat the same information we know. IMO, there's got to be more than that in the GCMS file as to the reason "why" you're being scheduled for a hearing.

The issue is that I haven't sent any correspondence. I did not even contact them as application was going smooth in a timely manner.

Okay that is definetely weird... I can't think of anything else but a mistake(s) on previous IRCC applications that was/were flagged now? Namely, PR application, study/work permit?
