April 2021 - Citizenship applications

[lemonadeprincess]

@MikeEH @lemonadeprincess @SergeSD - any updates on application after oath ceremony?

Still in progress. I heard it takes 1 week to close our files.

So my husband has his citizenship application received officially in April 2021 and when he checks his online status for the number of months to process it says 27 months!! Is this what others are getting? Is there a spreadsheet somewhere for tracking the application status? It's looking like others who applied at the same time (assume you are going by the official receipt date and not the date the application was mailed). I'm getting a bit discouraged

Citizenship test and background verification are showing complete. His language, physical presence, prohibitions are all showing "In progress"

i called IRCC today and told them that old ecas shows decision made but the tracker shows in progress, they checked and they said decision is made on april 14 ! i asked why the tracker is not updating ? the agent said she doesnt know , she said probably because decision is made recently and it needs time to update (which i dont see why) ! anyhow, we are now waiting for the oath letter ! hopefully this wont take a month and half like all other montreal office canadidates !

27 months is the revised processing timeline. There are still a few applicants from 2019 waiting on the oath ceremony, this is the reason for the revised timeline. But there are applicants who are getting the citizenship between 8-15 months.

no test required; the applicant is above age for tests

Hi, Please update the tracker:

Prohibitions, Language Skills, and Physical presence updated to Complete on Apr 20.

Also, could anyone advise what is the next steps after this? My BG and test are already completed. How long it typically takes from here.

Today I received an update on the online tracker. "Citizenship ceremony" is now in progress and I am scheduled for May 11th. Very exciting.

Now I wait to receive the email with the instructions and zoom invitation.

Congrats.
What is the date on the Application History part of the tracker for the citizenship ceremony. Is it dated today?
Also when was Prohibition and Presence and BG completed on new tracker?
I notice that you got DM on March 29th, so trying to figure out the timelines by IRCC.

anyone knows how long it takes to receive the citizenship certificate starting from the date of the ceremony date ? from what i know to apply for a passport, they need to see the original citizenship certificate !

@Fa2 - after oath how much time it took to show oath status as completed and application status as closed in the application tracker? Also, have you received your certificate?

My tracker saw application close 25 April.
