So normally you’ll have to wait for the Citizenship Oath section to become In Progress - that’s when they’ll actually schedule your ceremony. It can take anything from 2-4 months after the test (at least that’s how long it was taking before). Once the oath becomes in progress, it’s almost...

From personal experience - I chose to go with the online application since it was quite easy to use the portal and gather the documents. I don’t see the value of submitting the paper application over the online one honestly. As for the timelines, I used this tracker I found on the forum to get a...

I was a February 2022 applicant and I was never aware of anything that allows you to skip the oath ceremony. Everyone I know had to do the oath ceremony in-person or virtually, including myself. It took me 4 months to go from taking my test to going to the ceremony - seems to be the average...

They mark everything as completed in the tracker and write you a congratulatory message in the system once your oath ceremony is completed and you have your certificate on hand. I did mine in person so three days after the ceremony, my tracker was updated to everything completed!

Hi! So you’ll probably not be able to do your ceremony in time for your trip. And either way, you’ll still have to wait at least a week after the ceremony to have a passport (even with urgent processing granted). I recommend you wait until you receive the official ceremony invitation letter over...

So when they email you the oath letter, they provide you with a contact email address to reach out to them in case you need to reschedule (and they mention you can reach out to them and ask for in-person instead but that might delay your application). My office was the Scarborough one and they...

Hi! You should have definitely received AOR if you applied online… how strange! Did you test invite include your UCI number? If it did, you can create an account with the IRCC tracker to check the actual status of your application (it’s a different portal from the one you used to submit the app...

Wow, these applications are moving so much quicker than they were last year! My test invite took 8 months after submission… I don’t know if you can apply for urgent processing of the passport until after you become a citizen though. It took me 4 months to go from writing the test to taking the oath.

Hi! I went through my citizenship process over the past year (through the Scarborough office though). Took my test beginning of November, had no updates on my application until almost end of January. I was using this tracker to figure out how long the process will take, I don’t know if it gives...

Hi everyone. I’m Toronto based but I took my test in November, got an update from the application that everything except citizenship oath was completed almost end of January (I think that’s what’s meant by decision made). They gave me a March ceremony date and put the oath in progress end of...

Hello everyone, I received my Oath email 2 weeks prior to my ceremony being scheduled on March 2nd (on February 17th). I actually asked to reschedule to in-person (the original was over zoom) and they again resent me the Oath letter exactly 2 weeks before the updated ceremony date. I don’t think...

When I was applying for citizenship last year, I couldn’t create my application online for a couple of days after receiving the AOR email. I think I was able to register online (with the old tracker) the week after receiving it. Are you still having no luck? Might make sense trying to contact...

I was experiencing the same loading issue for a few days leading up to my citizenship ceremony… logged in a week ago and it was working fine! I think that was just a problem on their end.

For anyone that thinks this’ll help, got my update on the portal that citizenship oath is in progress mid-January, zoom ceremony was scheduled for March 2. Only received the letter with the confirmation 2 weeks beforehand on February 17th! So from what I know, the earliest it gets sent out is 2...

Processing times are just estimates and change frequently from what I know. But if they dispatched your card already and it's been over 6 weeks, you can always call and check if there’s some sort of issue with them mailing it. I had this issue and called them but I think that only works if...

Hi, as far as I know, you can’t link your application with the online one until you receive the AOR (because in the AOR they give you the actual application number). I didn’t try with PR renewal but it was definitely the case for my citizenship application - I couldn’t do anything for over a...

I had the same issue with the citizenship tracker after I received my ceremony invitation! Thanks for clarifying, I thought the whole tracker was down…

Hey! So I think the IRCC tracker is only for the citizenship application process, not the passport. I had my oath ceremony on March 2nd and am going through the passport application process right now separately…How long has it been taking everyone to get their passport? I anticipate it taking...

Hey everyone! I just joined and I wanted to know how long it's been taking to receive an update regarding the test after the application was put in progress by the IRCC? I checked on this application tracker named "Immitracker", and from what Ive been seeing it's taking over 4 months to hear any...
