August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

I got my oath on Sept 13th and called IRCC today they told me the certificate was mailed out on 16th but I haven’t received yet. Is this normal?

Canada Post does not work on weekends... And remember that September 19th was a National day of mourning in Canada meaning Canada Post was closed as well. So I would say yes, it's normal. Most businesses assumed the postal delay is about 10 business days.

You can check this page from Canada Post, https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/our-company/news-and-media/service-alerts.page go to the section Canada and click on 'see interruptions' for more details. No current interruptions listed besides the one on Monday the 19th.

Hi folks,

Sharing my timeline (paper application sent from Toronto GTA to Sydney, NS)

  • Jun 7, 2022: Prohibitions activity, physical presence and language skills completed
  • Jan 24, 2022: Background verification completed
  • Dec 9, 2021: Citizenship test completed
  • Dec 3, 2021: Scheduled for citizenship test
  • Sep 15, 2021: Application filed
  • June 6, 2021: Application sent via Canada Post


I am still awaiting the citizenship ceremony, currently marked as "Not Started" as of today (Sep 23, 2022). I just called IRCC (1-888-242-2100) and they told me everything is OK and I should soon receive a notification from the Scarborough office inviting me to the ceremony. Do you think I should contact the Scarborough office directly at this email address: RCC.DNSCRCitizenshipCeremony-CeremonieCitoyenneteSCRRN.IRCC@cic.gc.ca ?

Cheers!

I'm considering withdrawing my application and just renewing PR. Stuck on all stages approved since end of June. Scarborough office. I have emailed them directly and also my MP has got in touch with IRCC and they all say the same thing that it's in queue for the ceremony.

Life is on hold and can't make any plans because of this.

You won't lose anything by keeping your application. Worst case scenario, just renew your PR while you wait.
