IRCC phone is 1(888)242-2100, hit 1, enter your UCI with # at the end, then "1" to confirm, then "1" again, then "2", then "0". If it says "we're busy", repeat the process MP is the person who represents the place where you live in Canada. https://www.ourcommons.ca/members/en/search Make sure...

I'd say, just wait. Make sure that the officer received your documents (e.g. follow up via phone or your local MP, they know a direct phone). IRCC is very slow in replying messages unless you have something urgent

Yes. If people you know add their data to the tracker, the maximum will be updated

Hey, everyone, I created the Oath Timeline Estimator using Google Sheets and historical data for 2020. To make changes and input your Test dates, please make a copy and save to your drive (File > Make a Copy) I filtered out urgent processing requests and applicants who don't require the Test...

Hey, I used historical data for Montreal, it looks like the average wait time from the Test till the Oath is about 154 days, minimum 117 days, maximum 200 days (sample 31 applicants from Montreal)

Did you apply for Canadian Citizenship (grant)? (I'm not sure what is "an application for a citizenship certificate")

Hey, there are 3 possible situations: 1) they ask you to provide a scanned copy of your passport in PDF; 2) original documents or copies via mail; 3) they may not ask for it at all. DN MIS Citizenship E-Test team sends a REQUEST LETTER with the instructions. My timeline (yours may be...

The next step will be DM (Decision Made). IRCC will update your Physical presence, Language skills and Prohibitions to complete. To do this, they will request a copy of your passport (all pages). It may take 1-2 months After this step, you will wait for 4-6 months for the Oath invitation and...

Congrats! And thanks for your wishes. I appreciate it. May I ask you to share your timeline after the test? e.g. test date, DM, Oath invite and Oath ceremony. Thanks!

Same in Toronto. The oath ceremony is another challenge. I'm still waiting (Test - July, DM - September). You are lucky if it happens earlier.

Awesome to read so insightful point of view. I will call my journey as "almost smooth sailing" once I become a Canadian. At this moment, I observe that IRCC is not moving my application after DM. Maybe, it's a backlog, maybe something else.

Thanks for your reply. DM was in mid-September, the Test was in July

Hello, Situation: I'm waiting for the Oath ceremony (citizenship, applied in Nov-2020) and I passed previous steps (test - Jul-2021, prohibitions, language, physical presence, bg check - are complete). My current situation - I need Canadian citizenship for TN visa to commence my employment in...

I don't know exactly. If it's 120 people, then the timeline looks even better. They can process the backlog in 2 months instead of 1 year =)

LOL! I did the same. I lost my hope and I feel myself better

I found this column useful, it says the backlog of citizenship applications is about 468,000 now (October 27, 2021), increased by 98,000 from 370,000 (July 6, 2021) The author defines the backlog as the total processing inventory, I assume these are not only applicants who has been waiting...

Well said. My current question is 5. But I asked myself all the previous questions

Mental health industry will benefit from 300k new clients from IRCC every year. I don't know how you guys are holding, but personally I never had issues with my anxiety and depression until I applied for citizenship. Lack of IRCC transparency contributed the most.

Hi, does anyone know why the percentage of Oath ceremonies is the lowest for November applicants? October - 11%, November - 9%, December - 23%

I'm trying to do the same with my MP. How long did it take after you submitted consent forms to MP till they came back to you?
