Hi everyone,
I am really confused about what is going on with the citizenship processing time these days.
This link states that processing time is 12 months:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-processing-times.html

However, when I check the date that they are currently processing it shows May 05-May 2019:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/check-status.html

My wife has applied and submitted her application in 2020 and they received her documents on April 29, 2020. AOR arrived in Sep 2020. We are in Van, BC.
Reading this forum I realized that some April 2020 applicants got their test invitations already, but the processing time indicates that they stuck with May 2019. So, could anybody clarify what is going on and when to expect the test invitation?
Thanks in advance

hi, how are you able to see all these details?
I tried linking my application but couldn't see an option for 'grant of citizenship' category.
on ECAS I can only see the AOR date

Can someone please guide me. IRCC requested me to send I-94 travel history from their website and I'm getting message "No History Found", I did traveled to States via land for 3 days. I sent them the screenshots of that page, do you think that sufficient?

Did you write your name, passport number as it appeared on the passport you used for entry?

It happens sometimes. Do a FOIA Request. Here is the link

https://foiaonline.gov/foiaonline/action/public/request
Select "CBP FOIA Division" as Agency
Do you know by any chance if a FOIA Request is still needed if the data can be found on the web-site and a screen shot or print-out with the dates can be made?


Thanks fro reply. I have sent them the screenshot as they asked me to send them the results. Lets see what they have to say
Please provide feedback if the screen shot is sufficient once you have the results. Thank you!
