January 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[hmaster]

Hi guys I got an invitation email to take the citizenship test, could someone told me which office: DN MBSK CIT Scheduling / Planification CIT MBSK RN (IRCC)

probably its Mississauga office

Not a single Jan (test complete) applicant has moved to LPP completion. I am curious when it could possibly happen... any thoughts or predictions? I am hoping at-least one guy this week, lol.

How does anyone know what their office is? They never mention and its CPC Sydney for the most part. They never inform you that they have locally transferred your case for routine cases. Are you guys just assuming an office based on the city you reside?

DN NGF Citizenship e-Apps, my application should be in Niagara Falls.

Yes looks like it, what city you applied from? Isn't NGF supposed to be the fastest?

I think since 2025 - they started balancing workload between SCR, NGF and MBSK. Not sure if there is any speed difference - I think its just work load balancing

Just curious—does the application processing depend on test completion? If we take longer to complete the test, will it impact the other steps?

I don’t think so it’s going to affect the process time because they give you the whole month approximately and 3 cchances to pass the test.

Yes you have to understand what you are reading, and on subsequent revisions take notes to remember important events.

I guess test notification in 2 days reflected by next week Tuesday, and actual invite in 10 days for a test window in 15-20 days.
