Update: LPP completed! I saw the change in status today, and it was actually handled 2 days ago. That was a pretty long wait until my last update (test completed) in October. Several times I considered to contact IRCC, and decided not to do it. Glad it looks like I won't need to!

Update: LPP completed! Waiting for citizenship ceremony date now. (December 2021 application)

I wish there was a somewhat predictable pattern to this, but there doesn't seem to be one that we can see. So LPP will be done when it's done. I'm waiting for it too. I've had no news since early October.

Applied online in December 2021. Background completed September 2022. Test completed early October 2022. No updates since then. Waiting on LPP.

Yep, me. I completed my test in early October. No updates since then.

It does make "sense". Processing newer applications first keeps the official processing time (which is the time it takes to process 85% of applications) lower., which reflects well I guess. But nobody knows more about the 15%. What is the average processing time of the 15%? Minimum time? Maximum...

I'd say file the tax return. Not just for citizenship purposes, but also because if you don't file taxes, you miss out on benefits and other returns you'd likely qualify for as a low income couple. H&R Block has software on their website that's free for simple returns, and inexpensive for...

It's been officially over 6 months since the last official update (October 3: test completed). Since then, only ghost updates. I'm getting a bit worried.

Yep, I also got a ghost update.

I can imagine it's annoying to have to renew your PR card when you're about to become a citizen (do I understand correctly that becoming a citizen means cutting your PR card up with scissors?). But those who unexpectedly have to leave the country during the gap between your expired PR card and...

Edited: Arash contacted me and indicated they didn't mean to address their reply at me, it just accidentally happened in a quote. The below reply was written before I had that info, and I'm leaving most of it here for transparency reasons. I just removed some sentences which show that I was...

Most people already live in Canada and there is no urgent reason why they need their citizenship this year rather than next. But some people definitely have circumstances that are different from that. I described my unease not to complain, but to indicate it's there. I never implied that I felt...

Fair point, the different offices might operate differently for different reasons. Scarborough does seem to be one of the slower ones, and some people may have an urgency we know nothing about when it comes to processing. We don't know, and we can't judge, what the frustration comes from. It...

Oh that sucks. Let's hope they get started on the rest of your application soon! You know, I should technically not be in any hurry. I know there are people who need fast processing times much more than I do. But there's that nagging feeling that rejection is a possibility, or an application...

My background verification was completed September 8. My citizenship test was completed October 3. My processing office so far seems to be Scarborough. I'm trying really hard to be patient.But I check daily and it's becoming a bit of an obsession. I just hope nothing went wrong and it's just a...

Cool. But I applied in December 2021. This seems to be a Nov/Dec 2022 group.

I was able to login through https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/login , which seems to be the new URL. No changes. So I wait! Thanks.

Hi, I applied online for citizenship in December 2021 (see signature for timeline). Ever since I completed my citizenship test in early October, I have checked the tracker daily for updates. Until it suddenly stopped working yesterday, I couldn't even access the website which I had bookmarked...

Ghost update December 16.

I'm a December 2021 applicant too. My test was marked complete October 3rd, background check was already done at that point, marked complete September 8th. I know the silence is difficult, but I think it's normal, and it may even be normal to wait several more months for the next update...
