This week, we enter July, i.e. Month 11 for us Aug applicants. Hoping to see more movement as we get closer to our 'average processing time of 12 months' when we applied last year.

And Montreal should begin tagging DMs for July (online) applicants. And soon after, for us! Fingers crossed.

Hello Friends,
I applied for my Canadian passport (express) yesterday and feel great as will receive it by this Friday.

THANK YOU ALL for supporting each other and helping by answering the questions. This forum was huge support for me.

I know eventually, everyone will get to the end goal but the timeline might be different. Good luck.

Thank you Admin for creating this thread and updating the tracker for us.

A quick snapshot of my timeline after the test:

The test appeared: on Feb 28
Test completed: March 1
Decision made: May 17
Oath invite: May 19
Oath completed: June 14
Certificate received: June 21
Passport applied: June 21

People who think the passport application process is crazy these days to our surprise it wasn’t that crazy. We did walk-in application and where out within 3:30mins. The officers are working overtime to help the citizens. Kudos to them. Location: Toronto
Did you go to the downtown passport office or a service centre? Sounds like the Victoria street downtown passport office? Was there a long line up for walk ins? I’ve heard people start lining up from the night before.

I'm scheduled to attend the citizenship ceremony on August 2, 2022. Is it possible to request an earlier appointment?

Wow some people have such a sense of entitlement.

STFU! You're only bitter because you haven't had any positive updates on your application :p boo-hoo! I have an emergency and cannot make that date so not being entitled at all!

For anyone else in a similar situation, you can contact the office that invited you and they'll be happy to accommodate/reschedule you provided that you include the supporting information. - https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...vices/coronavirus-covid19/citizenship.html#s1

If you can't make that date specifically, why not be okay with a later date? You want an earlier date because you're entitled. I understand that that might be difficult to accept, but a bit of self-awareness might help.
 
Hello,
I got update on my application on June 27
I got Language skills and Prohibition both completed but physical presence still in progress
Any idea why the physical presence is not completed along the other two?
Thank you!
