Hello Group members,

I have 2 questions, if anyone can please answer:
1. I applied my citizenship in Aug 2022. I left for India on few months of vacation. During my vacation I received email for the test. I replied to the email saying I am outside of Canda, can I still give test (BIG MISTAKE!!!). They said yes but send us the passport pages and boarding pass etc. when you are back. I did reply with docs as requested on my return. My test status was updated but nothing else moved aince then. My friends applied suring same time they received their citizenship.
I called cic they said it’s still within the processing window so can’t do anything. Any help on how to expedite it?

2. My Indian passport has been expired. Should I renew it or just wait for the citizenship? Considering I cannot travel outside the country until I get any one of them.

1. Can't expedite. There is a huge backlog and you simply have to wait.

2. Depends if you want a passport for emergency travel plans.
