Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Citizenship application and am applying this month. I would just like to know what are the various items that will happen in our processing journey from the time we apply for the Citizenship. If someone can list out what are all the things that will happen such as Citizenship test, Citizenship oath etc. I am confused as to what happens when and what are the timelines in between each of the steps in the Citizenship process. If someone can provide me a breakdown of the sequence from first Citizenship application (timeline in between to wait), Citizenship test (waiting timeline), what happens after this and steps in the process till we recieve the Canadian passport in hand, I will be very very greatful.

Thank you.
Application Submitted -> AOR -> Background Complete/Test Invited -> Test Given -> Test Complete(Passed) -> Language, Physical Presence and Prohibition Complete -> Oath

Background check main sometimes trigger finger print request.

Thank you for your reply! What is the typical timeline from the time we submit our application till the time we take the oath? Additionally, can the test and the oath be done online?

Thank You!

what are these steps for
Language, Physical Presence and Prohibition?

I have already passed CELPIP. I have attached the score sheet during my online application submission.

Hi everyone, has anyone who applied in the beginning of Aug received their AOR yet?
My bf applied on Aug 1st and hasn't received his yet. When I applied last November I received the AOR exactly 2 weeks later...

AOR is taking around 30 days for online applications and 21 days for paper applications. This is just an average.

Hello everyone! I will be filling for citizenship this weekend, just 1 quick question. For implied status period while waiting for PGWP would count as "Temporary Worker" right?

Study permit expiry - 31 Aug 2019
Application date for PGWP - 19 July 2019
PGWP - 5 Nov 2019

Implied Status - 1 Sep-4 Nov (Wasn't working so not sure how to show this in the physical presence)

Thank you!
