August 2023 - Citizenship Applications

[LuckyAngelSweety]

Thank you so much! Interview was fast, maybe took only 10 minutes, and it was just to test my knowledge of English, even though I provided them with CELPIP and had high scores on it. After that, Oath went to in progress in 4 days and Oath was scheduled for 6 days. Incredible how long it took altogether. Your day is coming too, just don’t give up!! I was so stressed and frustrated for waiting so long knowing that my husband waited for only 5 months. I had around 13 GCMS notes, lol. I think I got on their nerves badly, so in the end they just wanted to get rid of me!

Happy for you

It was reported that the volume of applications received for various programs, such as provincial nomination, Federal Skilled Worker, work permits, and asylum, can impact processing times. Certain programs maintain a consistent number of applications each month, leading to relatively stable processing times. However, other programs experience fluctuating application volumes throughout the year, with some being open for applications only during specific periods. Therefore, depending on your program, this variability often causes their processing times to change frequently.

Hi,

Is anyone still waiting on their citizenship application from August 2023?

My application hasn't been updated since March.

Background check & Prohibition - In progress
Citizenship - Not Started
Other steps - Completed

Is there any useful actions that can be taken that has worked or speeded up the process for others?

Just received “Decision Made” email and everything is green except ceremony. What’s the next step and how long will it take?

Hi everyone,

I’m wondering if anyone else is in the same situation as me with their citizenship application from August 2023. My last update was on March 2024, when they requested a full page of my passport. Since then, I haven’t received any further updates, and it seems my application is stuck in the Background Check step.

Here’s the current status of my application:

Application Submitted - 9 Aug. 2023
AOR received - 13 Sept. 2023
Test passed - 10 Oct. 2023
GU - 27 Oct 2023
Language - In progress
Presence - In progress
Prohibitions - In progress
Background - In Progress
Oath - No status

My main office is in Vancouver. I’ve tried reaching out through my MP for assistance, but unfortunately, they couldn’t help.

Has anyone experienced a similar delay? I’d appreciate any advice or shared experiences that might shed light on this situation.

Thanks in advance!

There are many people stuck in the security check with same timelines. Best thing we can do is probably just wait. It will eventually come...
