Finally! After over a month, my test is showing as completed!!!
December 2024 - Citizenship Applications
- Thread starter trackerCan-Cit
- Start date
Agreed, we have to play the hand we're dealt. My initial PR was pretty smooth (besides having to give fingerprints 1 billion times), but my PR renewal took almost 10 months at a time when their website showed a constantly updating average of anywhere from 6 weeks to 3 months. All of my calls and web form submissions came to nothing (you just have to wait), and the PR portal is a joke. To this day it says "Submitted March 18th 2024, last updated March 18th 2024". I'm sorry for everything you went through, that sounds like a nightmare.
Being able to compare timelines is awesome, but seeing how fast everyone else is going can be a little bit stressful and starts to make you worry unnecessarily when you are behind them.
I am just happy the citizenship process overall seems to be faster than it was in the past.
someone in this thread is just utterly stupid trying to argue with everyone without listening. Sigh
These are very wise words.
As for your PR renewal, I was in the same boat where my processing timeline started going beyond the advertised timeline. I have been a PR for over 15 years and my PR card was expired. Submitting webforms resulted in silly responses that didn't even acknowledge my questions.
In this situation, I did what @WantToImmigrate suggested and requested ATIP from IRCC and CBSA. And guess what? Less than a week after I submitted the requests and they went to an in-progress status on my ATIP dashboard, my PR renewal was approved. LOL I am now convinced that this may not have been a coincidence.
I just got off the phone with IRCC and they said my application is progressing along. Nothing open or missing or seems on hold. And my LPP has not started yet. So it is definitely a good idea to continue to exercise patience.

I have no idea where LPP was done. I never called them since the processing was fairly on time.
After the AOR - which was from Sydney office, rest of the communication was from Calgary office.
Same here. She said my LPP hasn’t been even touched yet which sucks.
She also said my application is non-routine because they requested my fingerprints, but lots of applicants who gave fingerprints had their application completed within a very good timeframe so who knows.
Nothing. Which is unfortunately normal. Most of the time one’s application takes to process is actually spent in the queue where there is absolutely nothing being done on your application. Its just parked until an officer picks it up again.
That is what stressed me out, what if the officer just forgets about it? according to IRCC, the processing is 9 months now, so technically they can wait for another 6 months to pick it up again...
Yep. When I called today the agent pretty much indirectly said that same thing to me. It was heartbreaking to hear
yeah when I called yesterday and the agent was like all we need to do is wait, he actually said those to me.Yep. When I called today the agent pretty much indirectly said that same thing to me. It was heartbreaking to hear
I have feeling that IRCC is intentionally slowing down. I guess they dont want to overwhelm themselves
