October 2024 - Citizenship Applications

[USProgrammer]

I got a ghost update today (March 11). Does anyone know what that could be for? The oath update on the tracker was March 8 (with oath dated March 7).

Any applicant waiting for their oath email from either Montreal or Vancouver office?
looked at all the past threads and seems like these two office are the slowest one to send oath invite. Some people have been waiting for more than 4 months now.

Same here. I am also waiting for Oath ceremony (Vancouver & Montreal Office).
My timeline is in my signature below.

Yes still waiting more than 38 days here in Vancouver. Very frustrating!

Yesterday I compiled some stats from the tracker spreadsheet for all applications submitted in Sep-Nov, to get an idea of the time between LPP completion and Oath email (regardless of processing office). Out of 45 applications with this info entered, the average wait time was about 16 days, with the shortest being 1-2 days and the longest 45-54 days. An additional 7 applications with LPP completed in Dec-Jan have yet to receive an Oath email, and 16 applications with LPP completed in Feb have yet to receive an Oath email (as of Mar 9). So wait times >30 days are certainly longer than average, but definitely do occur. Still, this is little consolation for those of us who have been waiting so long!

This is helpful thanks for the stats! I'm at 35 days today after LLP completed so will also probably fall in that 45-54 day region...(hopefully not longer than that! )

This is helpful! When did they complete your LPP? In my case, I’ve been waiting for 41 days now. I hope I get the oath by the 54 day mark at the very latest!

Mine completed on Jan 30, tracker updated on Feb 5 and no more updates since then. Yes let's hope we get an Oath email soon!!!

My timeline is similar to yours. I'm waiting for Oath as well.

Hello, Does anyone know about citizenship applications where the Language Test and Citizenship Test aren’t needed? (for someone under 18 or over 54 yo) Will those sections say “In Progress” and then “Completed” in the online Status Tracker, or do they just stay in “Not Started” or “In Progress” the whole time until the Oath invite?

Hi there! Language is showing "In Progress", and "Not Started" for citizenship test for my parents up until now. Their ceremony is on Friday, and both remained the same

Thanks for the info, much appreciated! That's a really helpful detail for tracking applications like this.

Does anyone in Vancouver want to meet for dinner near Gastown on March 25 or March 26? I want to try Meet in Gastown (I eat a vegan diet and I have never eaten at Meet).

I'm interested! I live a couple blocks from there and have never tried Meet in Gastown either (I'm pescatarian but not vegan). But on March 26 I would have to finish by 6pm because of evening commitment.

My test was marked as completed in the tracker on 9 Jan and then LPP marked as completed on 5 Feb, so just less than a month between the two for me. (My timeline is in the spreadsheet as well)

I could probably make an early dinner work. Are you available later than 6pm on March 25? I probably won't even be in Vancouver until around then.

Please send me a PM and we can work out the details. Maybe others can join us if they're in Vancouver!
