August 2021 - Citizenship Applicants

[Lupus]

Yes, the modified LIFO processing is what really made me frustrated and depressed. I am in a few groups and seeing 2022 paper applications consistently being processed in 3-6 months. I was feeling ready to give up and withdraw my application in August, when I was waiting with no signs of oath while a crowd of people in one of the groups who had moved to Canada well after me and had applied only earlier in 2022 was taking oath left and right.

Damn i didn’t know it was possible to being processed in 3-6 months. Very lucky 2022 applicants.

400 days since I sent my application: Vancouver office.

Everything completed except Oath Ceremony since May 10, 2022.

Sent them an e-mail, called them last week, contacted my MP a month ago, sent them two webforms, and made two requests for GCMS notes.

All I've heard from them are canned answers: "We verified the information you provided and can confirm that a decision has been made. You will be contacted by mail or email about the decision on your citizenship application."

"We verified the information you provided and can confirm that your application to become a Canadian citizen (grant of citizenship) is in the finalization process."

Yes, I have been waiting for about 14 months now since I logged in my application too, now I am stucked at Citizenship test - completed since June 27th, 2022. language, physical presence and prohibition are still "in progress".. zz what is vancity office doing now? I was wondering. are they still open? lol

I applied for my passport today and will be able to pick it up in two weeks for travel in three. If you would like to read about my experience, it's in the in-person application thread linked here.

I had an interview in August. I am still unsure exactly why. I thought it went well, but the agent ended up asking for some supplemental information. I submitted the info, but no updates yet.

What office sent you the invitation?

See, we told you your oath was coming and would arrive before an attempt to withdraw the application would be processed!

The timing of the email depends on the office. For online oaths, Scarborough tends to send the email pretty close to the oath date, but usually around a week before. Some people here have reported in-person oaths in Scarborough, and sometimes those invitations come in the postal mail about 1-2 weeks in advance.
